What Do We Do if we get no big name tree agents?

[Jingled]

So if we totally whiff on everything, do we take Hayward back? What if it came down to Hayward or Love?

I think I would rather have Hayward, even though I hate his guts.

Make a trade by absorbing a deal (Conley) and stop wasting our time with Favors.

They'd go after 2nd-tier or 3rd-tier free agents that fit their system, like when they recruited Joe Johnson a few years ago.

If Kyrie goes to Brooklyn, the Jazz could pursue Dinwiddie...

If we miss out on all our top free agent targets then I think we'll be very aggressive on the trade market, if we strike out there too we're ****ed.

Eh, I think if we strike out in free agency and trade then we have basically the same team as last year without Rubio (addition by subtraction).
Mitchell improves, gobert improves, Royce improves, Allen improves, maybe Exum gets healthy and improves, maybe Bradley is finally ready to contribute, maybe Crowder improves, add a player in the draft, etc.

I could still see us getting home court in the playoffs next season if we strike out in free agency and trade.

We riot.

Bring back Favs and Rubio. Hope our draft pick pans out. Search the G league and slums for an undrafted gem/ summer league player. Pray Grayson steps up. Pick up some fringe players in free agency to replace Thabo and Udoh. Trade Korver. Get rid of the bust because he is better off this team than on it.

Intriguing point.

Bradley sucks, package him and Exum for a 4 piece meal at KFC

We sacrifice GM Lopo to the churro Gods

What the Jazz would do: Pretty much run it back

What I would do: 7 stages of grief

I mostly agree. The only problem is we have a small window to try and add that third piece before we have to give Rudy a supermax and Donovan a max. We basically have this offseason and next plus the next two trade deadlines, and the free agent class next offseason sucks.

Another thing that really worries me is there are a lot of star free agents this year and the Lakers and Clippers both have the cap space to add one or two of them. Imagine if Durant and Kawhi go to the Clippers and Kyrie goes to the Lakers or the Lakers trade for Anthony Davis. If both of those teams improve and we don't they will likely pass us by. Instead of being a 5 seed next year we could easily drop to 7th.
