You're the GM this offseason. What do you do?

I think the Jazz are going to gather up their trade assets and try to trade for someone who can score 20 ppg or close to it--Conley, Love, Kemba (s/t).

Shooting is important, but to beat Houston you also need guys who can beat their defender and get to the rim as well. Last year, Alec Burks and Dante Exum were effective.

The clock is ticking though. Both Gobert and Mitchell are due for huge pay raises in the next few years. And if they don’t feel like the team is doing enough to keep them competitive or providing them with enough opportunities for recognition, they’ll leave and the rebuild will begin once more.

Had Mitchell not been so dynamite, we’d be in the lottery right now still trying to rebuild from Hayward leaving.

Do whatever it takes to get Brogdon or Harris find some low cost athletes, hope one or two stick. Mitchell becomes the pg. I’m guessing I’m letting Favors go unless there’s a way to keep him and sign one of Brogdon or Harris. Then through the year I have him on trade block. He has value as a starting center who could get you 16+ pts and above average defense. I’m keeping both Niang and Crowder. They will compete for minutes. Hopefully Allen can develop into a bench scorer in the next year or two, or even develop into a starter. I’m higher on him than most here I think.

He doesn’t even need to average 20, just be a threat to do so while averaging a good 12-15 pts like Gobert but be able to create. Is this asking too much?

Opt out/renounce everyone and offer Brogdon 4/90. Is there any way they match that?

While I like Brogdon, using cap space for him means he’s your only guy. Is Brogdon + nobody else a big upgrade over Rubio, Favors, and anyone else you lose?
 
I give it 90% chance our acquisition is either Love or Conley.

If it’s Love, we need the MLE for Beverley and you could even re-up Rubio in that scenario.

If it’s Conley, you need to throw the MLE at Jabari and maybe get Caruso.

Both of those scenarios are workable.

So opt out of Rubio, Udoh, Sef, and Korver.

How much cap space would we have?
 
Bradley and Exum both might be our salvations. Bradley showed something in the game he got to play with the varsity. Exum is owed a lot of money and don't see the front office eating the contract.
 
Yeah this is what I’d do:
1. Renounce Rubio/Sef/Udoh and opt out of Korver and Favors.
2. Re-sign Favors to 4/50. He’s a loyal dude and I think would consider this. It’s basically a 3/33 extension which isn’t terrible.
3. Trade Exum for nothing. I’d think there might be one suitor out there.
4. Trade Bradley for nothing. The Spurs loved him.

This would put us around 76M or 33M under the cap.

5. Offer Brogdon 4/90 starting off at 20M.

We’d still then have 13M under the cap to go after someone else. Who that person is would depend on who we draft...and that money could be spent on one or two guys. Maybe go after Cory Joseph?

Brogdon-Joseph-Neto
Mitchell-Allen
Ingles-O’Neale
Favors-Crowder-Niang-Brandon Clarke
Gobert

And though this occurs first, draft the best 3/4 with solid shooting/slashing ability. Rui maybe? Brandon Clarke if we think he can developed a perimeter shot.

The best 5 is what ultimately counts in the playoffs. You get plenty of rest between games and can play them 38-40 minutes.

DM
Brogdon
Ingles
Crowder
Gobert

That's a strong starting 5, with Crowder the obvious weak point, and no money perhaps ever to upgrade him.

If your neighbor knocked on your door with a broken dishwasher and an expired Weinerschnitchel coupon and said, “will you throw these away for me,” what would you say?

Sure. I’d fix them and see how much run I could get out of them.

Ingles and Crowder are bench players. The sooner our fanbase and DL & co. realize this the better. The jazz need to get more athletic on the perimeter.

You get what you can get and Lamb is a solid scorer with a consistent upward improvement trajectory over the last 4 years and has a massive wingspan who is still relatively young.

I'm with you. Lamb is an intriguing guy. I don't think he is a great starter, but I do think he could be a good one. If Mitchell transitions to the 1, a lineup of DM, Lamb, Ingles, O'Neale and Gobert could be very successful.

He shouldn't cost too much. I think we could keep Favors, keep Korver, keep Neto and sign Lamb.

Every team could basically say that about every player I guess
