Jazz Free Agency Summer of 2018

I really like Lavine. Id definitely match that. Ive been saying for years that he is better than Wiggins. Look at what Wiggins got.

Y'all are happy with what we got Exum for and you wouldn't pay Lavine that? Exum hasnt even shown that he can even be a reliable backup. Its all hopes and promises with him. Lavine can virtually guarantee you that he can average 20+ ppg. He is really good shooter, super athletic, can pass, great handles. Pretty much the entire offensive package. Its only his defense that is questionable. But he is just 23 years old. Barely. He has proven that his knee is fine too.

I dont get where all the Lavine hate comes from around here. Feels like a CarolinaJazz antihopper opinion tbh. No real basis. Just nonsense opinions.

If you look at all the 20+ ppg game scorers in the league they all command at least 20 mil per game. But for some reason Zach Lavine who is still super young and could conceivably get even better, isnt worth it? Makes a lot of sense.

Ive never said he was gonna be a great player, but the dude is a good player. The opinions of him around here are quite frankly stupid and it forces me to make arguments for him that make it sound like I think he is great.

Great move by the Bulls BTW - let the market set the price then quickly match. You don't string it along and ruin the relationship with your star player.

We'll see how well it works out. Lavine sounded like he wanted out from his comments.

On a side note, Smart's is going slowly kill his agent.

I dunno, what position does he play? PG? Can he be a starting PG for an NBA team? Or maybe SG? But can he shoot it consistently?

Never really liked him much as a player. It's a shooter's league...
 
Kings being the Kings. No way do I match that ridiculous offer for Lavine.

I just wish someone would give Smart a stupid offer (see what I did there?). I'd like to see Boston pushed into a high tax bracket to keep him.
 
Lavine's TS plummeted to < 50% last year, a truly abysmal number for even a 3rd option. Time will tell if it was rust from missing 80+games or from the ACL itself. It has the potential to be the worst contract in the NBA.

Smart is no shooter. Alright passer. But there are better PGs on the market. But I remember seeing a weird stay with how good the C's were with him on and off the court. So not really sure on his value.

Brad Stevens got the best out of his players. I'd be hesitant to get Smart and have him come down to Earth after leaving the Celtics, especially his shooting.

Great defenders are often devalued. Most fans and even GM's only look at the box score. The better the offensive numbers, the better the player. But Smart makes the team around him better. As long as there are shooters/scorers on the floor, Smart will have a very good +/-.

Utah would be one of the few teamswhere he wouldn't see much of a drop in his effectiveness. But between Ricky, Exum, Neto, and apparently Allen, we're good I think.
