I will play first: gone Ekpe, Thabo and Rubio. Replaced by first round pick, Cavanaugh, some NBA scrub point guard. Herpes and Lyles two way players. Jazz stick with Bradley can Naz and embrace mediocrity.
 
Organic growth and financial flexibility reign supreme and the countdown begins until Gobert bolts for another team. Hopefully not the lakers at least, so I can still follow him without gagging every time I see his uni.
 
Is the Utah State player that was Mountain West player of the year NBA material?

Well, some people would say yes, others would say no. I’m no scout, but given the right team, and role, I’d think that Sam could do ok. His numbers are good, and he does play defense, so he does have a good all round skill set that could be a plus.

I do believe that he will be testing the waters in the upcoming draft, but I expect he will be back for his senior season at USU.

From last nights game against Fresno...

Wish I could disagree with you, but I also think those three are gone. Bradley assumes the end of bench role that Udoh has. I could also see both Naz and Cavanaugh promoted. The first round pick will be a wing who's played multiple years in college and is more "NBA ready" than other prospects. But he'll be as disappointing as Allen because that's how Lindsey drafts.

Favors will be back. Neto will return, as will Korver. Lindsey will sign the best PG he can find who is willing to take the MLE and come to Utah. Expect to see a lot more of Donovan playing the 1.

Thank you voice of doom.
 
What's the date on when the Jazz have to decide on whether to pick up Favors contract for next year?
 
The contract becomes fully guaranteed on July 6th.

Could they theoretically come to terms with a max free agent on say July 2, do some roster maneuvering, decline Favors current deal and then negotiate with him on a cheaper deal?

I think that’s legal.

That + being projected to be drafted below the Jazz's expected position = Dylan Windler.

Feel free to bump my post when the only significant acquisition is a shooter at the MLE.

It's not really doom.In a lot of ways that makes sense, including Rubio on a 1+1 deal to give the Jazz a lot of ammo at next year's deadline.

Not hoping for that, but I just don't see a great FA signing with the Jazz. In that case, it makes sense NOT to go under the cap as that would eliminate the full MLE and only leave us with the room exception.
 
Next year the Jazz need to give themselves some flexibility in case the injury bug hits. This year the team had 15 guaranteed contracts and when Bricky, X and Neto were hurt at once the Jazz hands were tied. Naz wasn't ready for prime time and the Jazz were stuck. Next year it might be necessary to add a wing or a big.
