What's new

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

We can't trade Exum because he's so important, Rozier and Matthews give us the scoring to become contenders, and we should try to trade Gobert for a bunch of dice to roll.

The illustrious @LoPo , everyone.
At least I present ideas.

You're gonna push the big guys and cry when we don't get one and we keep Favors.

I present 100 ideas that are better than rolling the same exact thing out again. And paying Gobert $40+ is idiotic.

I would pay Rudy $100 mil a year before trading him for Charlotte's garbage assets.
Bridges will be a great player in the long term. 2019 #12 and Charlotte's 2021 unprotected 1st could be amazing choices if we can draft well. Monk might be good too. The large expiring could be traded at the deadline.

Gobert is a great dude, but paying him $40+ is simply stupid. It would wreck almost every opportunity to build around the true identity of the team - Donovan Mitchell.

Man I just realized Brooklyn has so many guys. Dinwiddie, Levert, Harris, Russell.

Same with Milwaukee: Giannis Ain’twinintoronto, Kate Middleton, Bledsoe, Brogdon.

Can they keep them all?

I guess if we have to overpay for Kemba or Tobias then do it, but that’s it. I’d rather pay commensurate to performance and grab some of the odd men out during the off-season.

All signs are pointing to big time improvement whichever way we go next year IMO

The Bucks and Wiz are two teams to watch this off-season. A ton of interesting free agents.

Your posts are starting to sound more and more like PGAB's. Video game draft manager 2k19 stuff where you are constantly kicking the can down the road, with no regard to stuff like team chemistry and being able to sell season tickets to pay the bills. Without Gobert the Jazz only win 40 games in the west for a long, long time. We're still not bad enough too get a top 3 pick though, so we're on the treadmill (aka NBA hell).

You are right - we probably lose more games with Favors at C instead of Gobert. However, I'm not saying just that switch. I'm also talking about getting good, young players who project to be great down the road.

I personally think $20 million for Favors and Bridges the next three years might be wiser than giving Gobert $40+ in 2 years. Oh, and we would also have other assets in addition to Bridges.

Just spitballing, and it’s probably a long shot whether the jazz and Celtics could be trade partners, but the Celtics don’t need another draft pick, and they are probably losing Kyrie which puts Rozier as the starter. But Favors for their 14th pick might be doable assuming 1. Horford can play the 4. 2. The Celtics aren’t trading for Davis.

Favors give them an inside presence on both sides of the court and a great pick’n roll big. I think he could make them a much better team, even while losing Kyrie, but I’m sure this is a long shot to happen.

Anyone think it’s possible?

No if Kyrie leaves they will shift into a youth movement totally centered around Tatum. They will look to acquire guys like Favors for purely cash on the FA market.​

To do that trade, we would have to guarantee Favors' $18 million for next year. Boston doesn't really have the contracts necessary to make it work financially.

The idea has good logic, but the financials would be really tough if not impossible.

We can actually trade Favors without guaranteeing his contract, we just can't take back any salary. Dan Clayton answered a question about trading Favors on draft night a few weeks ago.
