Might as well start this thread early. Also..
Getting Exum back healthy is like a big free agent signing in itself.

Jazz have been extremely aggressive in FA, re-sign Ricky Rubio and pick up Derrick Favors option
- Thread starter Elizah Huge
- Start date
The problem is that when we get to free agency, we'll have had a strong close to the season, Ricky will be more consistent, we'll win a couple games in the second round, and most people will be comfortable with staying the course.

We're really excited about adding (insert mediocre first rounder pick) to our roster, he has a lot of potential
Lmao y'all that mad DL isn't a caving baby?
DL has BDE, trust in him.

I think it’s more about the total context. If last summer when we resigned everyone we said we’d stand pat at the deadline, everyone would have said that’d be insane and that DL was propping is up for maximum flexibility that he can cash in. Well, yeah, we got there and the landscape wasn’t as prime as we thought (?), yet we’ll make claims about this summer, or whenever, and when we finally get there the landscape will obviously look different than what it looks like today, and we’ll start talking about the deadline, how DL has a plan.
When DL fails to improve the team in a given year I'll complain. He made the Korver deal this year. I know that's not the huge deal we want, but its something.
And again, your boy Mitotic is even more signable now. You should be relatively optimistic.

I actually believe standing pat was the right thing to do. I don't know how Mike Conley got so overrated, but he did, and many of you got caught up in the nonsense that he was going to be some kind of savior. We could have gotten a 3 month rental on Mirotic, but at what price? Isn't he an unrestricted FA this offseason anyways? Lowry was a bunch of BS from the start, that was never going to happen. I would have liked to see Rubio get moved for something, but maybe other teams can see how much he sucks and didn't want to give up any valuable assets for him? Anyways, I actually think 2019 FA is going to be fun and we'll make some big moves. I'm looking forward to it.
We'll be goalpost shifting in this argument come summer. Who has to be renounced to sign Niko?

I'm not thrilled The Jazz couldn't get a deal done; but when you look at the landscape of all the deals made that were worthwhile, The Jazz probably didn't have the assets to be competitive.
As for Conley - as I said in the trade thread, F' him. If he doesn't want to come to Utah then good riddance. I hope DL pulled the plug on it before Memphis had the opportunity to ask for more.

I hope so. I'd be okay with that. I feel a first round exit is more likely.
Jazz are going to renounce Rubio, I'm pretty positive unless we win a championship.
Favors will be renounced as well if he isn't used in a trade (he has a late guarantee date for that reason).
There is 0 reason to not be optimistic for this off-season.

[QUOTE = "Spinoza, post: 1717047, miembro: 2422"] De hecho, creo que estaré de pie es lo correcto. I don't know how. Mike Conley se quedó atrapado en la tontería de que iba a ser un tipo de salvador. Podríamos haber obtenido un alquiler de 3 meses en Mirotic, pero ¿a qué precio? ¿No es un momento? Lowry era un grupo de BS desde el principio, eso nunca iba a suceder. ¿Me gustó mucho que no se moviera por algo? De todos los modos, creo que 2019 FA será divertido y haremos algunos movimientos importantes. Estoy deseando que llegue. [/ CITA]

And I don't know how any of this is goal poast shifting.
Did I want a deal to happen for Conley? Yeah, but it didn't have to happen.
Nothing about this season rested on a deadline deal. And major deadline deals are tough to integrate.
The goal post have always been on the 2019 off season. The Jazz could have moved them up if a good opportunity was available that outweighed the risk of 2019 free agency, but that didn't happen.
A couple hours ago you gave me a guarantee that we wouldn't have both these guys on the roster by 3PM EST. How on earth are you prognosticating 5 months out?
Yeah, I thought it would happen. Clearly I was wrong and underestimated Memphis's patience.
I assumed the Jazz had higher values placed on a guy like Porter, but they either didn't or didn't have the pieces that team wanted in return.
I also assumed the Jazz didn't have free agency confidence, but I guess they do. That's good to see.
