Uhh... even though their two best players are PGs in a league moving away from PGs? That would be odd, but I guess they could get cents on the dollar for Dinwiddie? Letting Russell walk would also be atrocious asset-management and insane opportunity cost, and none of those three players are coming off the bench.

That's weird if true.

I’m not a big fan... if he is significantly less than the max I could get on board. He had a few things that scare me and has some of the same struggles as DM... not sure they could find balance together.

Dinwiddie would be a strong trade asset... could get a first all day long on his bargain contract. I think Kyrie is a lot better than Russell but I’m not sure how good he is.

What do people think Marcus Morris will go for and how do you feel about him. He plays hard, plays decent defense, he can create a little for himself, and can shoot the 3 well.

I'm not sure either one of these guy's have that "Jazz DNA" that DL is always talking about. I don't know if we would pursue either of them.

I would love to have Dinwiddie. I was so disappointed when he signed an extension with the Nets because I thought he was a great free agent target for the Jazz.

I agree, but is Kyrie by himself better than Russell and whoever else they might be able to get alongside Russell (not to mention Kyrie will be paid much more money in a cap year)? I also think Kyrie is a cancer and not much of a winner, so, yeah, I don't know. Seems like out of all the guys on the FA market this year, that's the guy you put lowest on the max list for them.

Also, 1st rounders are only valuable when they become good players, and that is highly tied to the position of the 1st and a ton of luck. I doubt a likely-rebuilding team is parting with a top-10 pick for Dinwiddie, and if it's not that, it's a light-year from equal-value.

I would love this. Russell has such a bright future. He would really seem to compliment Donovan so well. Even if we gave the max, it's money worth spending since we have so many key guys on really cheap deals (Donovan, O'Neale, Crowder, etc.).

If Brooklyn gets or chases Kyrie, I really think we could force Brooklyn's hand by offering Russell 4 years $25 per year.

I don't think they can get someone big and re-sign DLo because of capholds. May have to move Crabbe if they get a yes.

If the choice was Russell or Kyrie I'd pick Kyrie without thinking. Hate has gone a little too far on him... Russell just scares me for a variety of reasons... I would not want to pay him.

On the Dinwiddie front... if they let Russell go and brought Kyrie there is still room for Dinwiddie. They wouldn't have to move him for a pick... could move him for a win now player if they wanted... just think if they decided to move him they'd have like 20 solid offers because of contract, unique skillset, and willingness to come off the bench.

I agree. The Nets aren't going to let Dinwiddie go.
