Utah Jazz 2018-19 Championship Bus CHOO CHOO

This is why I'm starting to get the feeling that the Jazz try to make a trade for the missing piece around draft day instead of waiting for free agency to sign someone. If they traded for say, Mike Conley, on draft day... then they can just fully guarantee Favors, Neto and Korver for next year and the roster is pretty set.
I don't think we have the ability to trade for him on draft day without using someone like Favors.
 
we can dump Exum for a second rounder if it means getting the stud Free Agent SG or PG we are looking for. Someone would make that trade. I'm pretty convinced that Rubio isn't coming back unless we kill it in the playoffs.
 
OKC getting stomped at home by the old folks home in Wade/Dragic.

I was really hoping the Spurs would lose tonight as well but it looks like they're gonna hang on and beat the Warriors. This will be 9 wins in a row for the Spurs.
 
Agreed pretty much. I’d love if we could opt out of Korver (think he gets 3.44M if it’s before 7/7) and then extend him to like 3/10 (at like 2.9, 3.3, 3.8) which would really be like 3/13.44M if I’m understanding things correctly, or a 2/6 extension. If that makes sense.

Niang’s 1.645M savings and 1.22M on Korver next year would net us 2.865M in cap space if I’m understanding the salaries and CBA correctly. Chances are, I’m not.
So Korver would sign for less than what he'd make if he said no deal and the Jazz released him? Why wouldn't he just tell tell Utah to pay him $7M or release him, collect his $3.44m PLUS at least the vet minimum with another team? As for Favs, we'll see. But I think with this strong finish he can get $15M from someone. I don't see him decreasing his pay from $17M to $12M.
 
I think we need to keep Favors at this point. He's the backbone of our 2nd unit and insurance for when Rudy gets fouls or gets hurt. In certain matchups he's better than Rudy offensively since he can catch the ball and rim roll from further out on the floor. He's been a large part of why we have a rebounding advantage most nights.

Favors is not where we upgrade. We just need a PG or 3 to score along side Mitchell. Bring Ingles off the bench, and we are world beaters.

Korver would only make about 1M less next year but be extended for two more years after that...and perhaps be offered some sort of FO role? Or dealership?

We overpaid Favors at 17. Even he knows that. The deal would essentially be that 17, and then an extension of 3/38 (not that it would be paid out as such) which isn’t bad like I said, given the overpay, his injury history, and the loyalty he seems to have shown here.
