I agree with Tony Jones saying Brog is more of a blender than a creator. We need a dominant pg to score at will and create. I say throw everything to get Conley or Kemba. Brog won't impact us as much as we want.

Conley isn’t a guy I’d describe as “a dominant pg (who can) score at will and create.”
Would Rather have Brogdon since he fits the time line, getting better, elite shooter, big guard to defend not get exposed in playoffs... seems like a great fit in back court with MitchellBelieve me , he was and he still can do it at 31 yrs plus. Maybe top 7ish in the league.
Locke had some very impressive numbers for Tobias as the pick and roll ball handler. And he's one of the few 4's in the league that can actually shoot 3's at elite close to elite level.
If you could figure out a way to get Tobias and Brogdon, I'd say you go for that. DM and Tobias along with Ingles Brogdon should be sufficient creation as long as defense remains elite. What is Brogdon's market this summer? We could carve out 45+ million in cap space without too much difficulty I would think. I'm not even sure what Tobias max would be per year though.

Conley is good now but as we are seeing with CP3 and Lowry who are both having pretty lack luster playoff performances, Father Time is at his heels. It won't be long till his body starts climbing down from or falling off the cliff.
If you shed Favors, Exum, Rubio, Thabo, Udoh, Stretch Korver or he retires, that's over 50 Million in cap space fwiw
The JNotes had an interesting article. Bricky, Neto, Korver, Ekpe, Thabo, Naz and Cavanaugh are likely not back. They thought Favors, Niang and Crowder would be.
idiot, put down your calculator.
Niang should go too
He's right though.
- If we renounce or decline Rubio, Thabo, Favors, Udoh and Neto, we have around $33 million in cap space.
- If Korver retires, we would have around $40.
- If we dumped Exum without taking any salary back, we would have around $50 million in cap space.
Can we get Tobias AND Brogdon with that much money? Probably not, but doesn't make the numbers untrue.
You don't know the numbers. If Jazz did whatever he offered to do, the cap space would be about 34 mil. Even if Neto and Niang were waived on top of that, it would be 37.6 mil. Not anywhere near "over 50 mil" like he foolishly claimed.
Your numbers are also intentionally over-inflated to make your point. And good luck getting pure cap deal for Exum.
He's only making $1.6 million, he has had an entire year learning the system, he plays hard, seems well liked and he can shoot. Unless his contract gets in the way of signing some max free agent type, I don't see why we would let Niang walk.
I know some people were under the impression that Favors was part of the Conley deal and that's part of the reason why the Jazz turned it down.
