Jazz Free Agency Summer of 2018

He said they could guarantee Jerebko and Udoh without announcing anything, but I don't think Tony actually said they would guarantee them. If he did, it was probably just his impression, which was all of ours actually. The move was kind of surprising honestly, but makes sense on it's face as to why.

He shouldn’t be going off impression like we do. He has actual connections with the team. It’s obviously not a big deal at all but he seems to be off a little more than he should.

As an organization, the Jazz are so tight you could shove a lump of coal up their buns and have a diamond in two weeks. Tony hears the same way as Locke does. That being what Lindsey wants them to hear.

Like I said, it’s not that big of a deal. Locke actually telegraphs our draft picks though.
 
Sure the Jazz are tight lipped, but Tony usually has a good feel for what's going on inside. It appears he missed here, but missing on a Team option for a career end of bench guy is not a blemish on Tony.

It might very well have been the Jazz were wanting and ready to stand pat 2-days ago. Maybe a deal popped up in the last 24 hours, maybe a summer league player caught their eye, maybe an agent called and offered to deliver a player to the Jazz. Maybe Jonas asked the Jazz to be released so he could have a bigger role on another team.

That's all possible. Honestly, I just think it's a utility move. It frees up a spot probably for Georges and saves some money off the top for contingencies. If Udoh is waived, something is probably up as Bradley still could use some time in the Day league. But if Udoh is waived, Bradley is sitting end of the bench next year.
 
Tony Bradley is concerning. a tradition styled center with limitations and the dangerous "up-side" If I was a GM I would be very reluctant to draft a project in the late first round. I'd rather draft a guy who could contribute the next season if necessary, even if his role was very limited.

as it is, Bradley is sucking up cap space and a roster spot and is so far away the Jazz can't count on him for spot minutes as a third center. If Jazz were in a rebuild or had a different roster composition I would be warmer to the idea of "developing" a back-up.

Dude is making a mil. If that's sucking up cap, we're screwed. Bradley has improved, but I agree he is simply not there and may not ever be. But he isn't guaranteed after this season, still has some potential I think, and no GM is 100% on draft picks. It's not a big loss given we bought his pick. He also may have value for teams looking for younger players.
 
Did Davis Bertrans get signed? Or did Spurs make him unrestricted? There were rumours the jazz liked him. He is younger than Jonas and does a few things better than Jonas.
 
I know we just re-signed Favors and he will play backup 5. But I think Favors and Gobert can play together. I also believe Favors will get down a corner 3 shot with some consistency that will help the team out a lot.

I also know that this guy wants a bigger role than backup 5....

But Brook Lopez would be a nice change of pace backup 5 for cheap this year.

That's what I think too. It's looking like the Bulls will match though so if anything, I would have gone a bit more, like $22m per year (if that's possible), just so the Bulls don't match.

Once Garrett Temple opted in the Kings hands were tied behind their backs.
 
I am guessing when/if Bulls match the Lavine offer the Kings are going to go after Jabari. Other than that I am guessing no other real offers will come in. Jabari probably takes the 4.3 million QO or negotiates a 1 year deal with a player option for the second year with the Bucks so they have the ability to trade him and he can become a UFA in 2019.
