Jazz Free Agency Summer of 2018

[Ron Mexico]

If you have a chance to add a star player, you have to do it. I think Lillard would be a great fit on this team. He and Mitchell would pretty much be interchangeable on both ends. We would have by far the best backcourt in the league.

I think Klay and Curry have something to say about that still. Harden and Paul are still up there as well.

 

[Ron Mexico]

Lillard and Mitchell could fit together and be great but I do have my doubts.

Lillard might be the worst pg defender in the league.

 

[Ron Mexico]

I guess it's a big swing for the fences and I can get behind that.

 

[The Midnight]

Cool.

So we’ve transitioned to talking about the idea of hypothetical trades for all-stars. Free agency must be over for Utah.

I mean, this was a realllllly boring offseason, but we definitely didn’t get worse, maintained flexibility for next year, and could see some big improvements internally.

Not too bad.

I was about to ask - why are we talking about a trade for Dame? Was it rumored somewhere or is this complete speculation?

Outside of the untouchables (Rudy and Donovan), we don't have the assets to compile a competitive offer.

Yah the end of the road. Unless we miraculously went and got Jabari somehow. Unlikely though, seems DL is content to just run it back and betting on internal improvements.

So maybe this was in a way DL saying to the team: "YOU are all you've got! Don't expect any calvary to come and save the day. YOU are the calvary!"

Kinda like that scene in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, where he thought somebody would come to help but nobody did and he ended up having to produce the Expecto Patronum against the Dementors to save himself and Sirius Black on the shore. Something he'd never done before.

Also kinda like how Goku became Super Saiyan when his back's against the wall.

Maybe DL is betting on Gobert, Rubio and Mitchell to do the same.

 

[Jack Strop]

Well, Lindsey did replace Stockton with Allen. And hopefully a healthy Exum.

I think Dennis is giving a chance to Crowder and O'Neale to improve their shooting. If they dont, Lindsey can look to bring in someone at the deadline.

Oh yeah, forgot we replaced the beloved son of a Jazz legend with the most hated human being on the planet .

Allen better be good.

You needed to have watched Harry Potter or Dragonball Z to have gotten those references.
