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

[infection]

We’ll regret (near?) maxing Harris sooner rather than later.

The good thing about a max is that they’re only four years. You typically get at least 1.5-2 years in before the regret, and then you’ve got at least a year of convincing yourself that they’ll have value as an expiring contract. It’s not like the 7-year max AK deals.

Like Cy and I have been saying, don't give up on Exum yet.

I hate being a pessimist. One of my worst traits. But I just dont think we have a chance in signing anyone big for the simple fact that we are in Utah. There is a big stigma in this state. And what happened to Westbrook here this year is the icing on the cake. Sucks to realize and admit, but we have to build from the draft and or trades it's the only way we become a contender imho

The contrarian speaks.

I agree with him, basically the view if Dante is if he can actually stand up without hurting himself it’s a plus. Buy low, I think he may surprise next year and be average to almost good. Which would exceed the expectations of must here. Bring out your ded.

I don’t think the Westbrook incident will have any impact on free agency. Would provide some amount of cover for DL putting all our eggs in this basket, though.

Correct me if I'm wrong. But for the jazz to make an offer to say d-lo they have to renounce Favors to clear space to make the offer correct? And say the nets match. Then we lose out on d-lo and lose Favors? Is that right?

You could sign Favors with cap space, which you could argue that he’d rebuff the offer after being shown he’s not a priority, but then you could also say that no other team is offering Favors their cap space.

Which is why Tony Jones speculated the following:

Jazz wont sign D-Lo if he's a RFA. If he's a RFA that means Brooklyn wants to keep him. Jazz arent stupid.

 

[Jazz]

So both of these players are suddenly going to shoot 3X more per game than they did the previous season because they play together? Oof, I am impressed with how much worse your takes can get.

I'm joking about taking 90% of shots. What I'm getting at though is they're both inefficient players.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

We aren't talking do overs. We are talking the parameters of either deal this summer.

Conley costs $32.5 and $34.5 million the next two years. To get him, it will cost at least 1 1st round pick.

Worst case scenario, Russell costs $27 million next year and a couple more million each year the few years after that. Still $5 millionish less than Conley the next two years.

It's an easy call. Forget age. Forget Donovan and D'Angelo being buddies. Forget Conley's camp saying he doesn't want Utah. The $5 million more to spend and keeping all our picks does make it a no brainer.

I was talking do overs. Our cap situation likely doesn’t change with that 5 mil cuz we are left with exceptions either way. It might cost us a pick to facilitate a sign and trade since they likely match anything and likely don’t make him unrestricted.

Russell isn’t as good as Conley. I really don’t think it’s close. I’d gladly give up the pick (that has like a 15-20% chance at a rotation player) for the better player with a contract that carries less risk.

 

[Jazz]

And I'm not saying these things bout russell cause of Dante. I would prefer Dante and favors to go to the Grizzlies in a trade together so U can have Conley
