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

[Thee Jazz Fan]

There are more quality free agents available this summer than any summer I have ever seen. Half the league is a free agent. Less than half of the NBA teams have as much money as we have.

If we run it back with the same roster plus a rookie, we might as well put the team up for sale. We don't have ambition. We are fine with just being a playoff team.

I'm not saying that's what we will do, but if that happens, shame on DL.

We will see the true intentions of ownership this off season. Will be interesting.

Um... because then we wouldn’t have a starting PG?

DM is the best pg on the roster and one of the best in the nba if given the keys to the position this year.

If the Jazz are going to stubbornly stick with Exum they better tell that dude to come back from summer looking shredded. Odds are he would injure himself working out, but he needs to build some serious strength if hes gonna have any shot at being healthy through an NBA season.

He's the very definition of shredded. ACL, shoulder, patellar tendon, other stuff, etc. We should call him Shredder.

Is there some NBA rule that I don't know about that doesn't let the jazz sign Rubio to another contract? Did Rubio retire?

Also, he could start neto, or Exum, or DM, or Grayson, or draft a point guard and start whoever that is, or start Ingles.

Guess what? Signing Rubio would be... ready for it .. a MOVE. Stop being a clown man.

Is there a rule that says he can't start a different player on the roster who is currently under contract?

And with some sort of consistent shot. He can hit them occasionally but needs to do it more regularly. Then he wouldn’t have to drive all the time and come crashing down.

Ok man, we’ll start Neto. Actually no, let’s start Greyson. That’s the ticket. You’re so right. Serious question... How old are you?

Rubio is gone and that's a good thing. Resigning him would technically be a move; but a bad one.

I feel like I would start DM. He is pretty good and the jazz record with him starting at point guard is amazing.

Weird that you would choose Grayson and neto over Donovan but to each their own.

So, calling me a clown then using sarcasm. And you wonder about my age lol. Carry on

I've finally gotten around to listening to the Ben Dowsett podcast with DL.

Spends a lot of time talking about punting on good opportunities. Talks about not overpaying guys in free agency. Talks about flexibility. Talks about building a team the way SA did over the long-haul, which I think is a flawed model with how the CBA and contracts are these days. We will see what happens. Starts talking about some of that stuff around 27 minutes.

You’re something else. You’re the one that mentioned Neto and Greyson and Ingles, and a draft pick?! as possible starting PG options - not me. Clearly you weren’t being serious (or were you??) - I hope you weren’t, because that’s just plain dumb. And that’s why I said stop being a clown.

DM as a starting PG? Yes. I’ve always been on that train. Still, that would be a decision - a move - on DL’s part.

So, I’ll say it again... this isn’t like last year where we could just run it all back again... this time DL LITERALLY has to make a move.

Are we done now?

When I listened to his pod I thought "I'll bet @infection wouldn't love this". A lot of "value based" talk. Just gave me the impression he may not pivot to second tier guys if we miss on the Tobias, Dlo types... like they are overly concerned with getting value and FA isn't a place you find a lot of value contracts unless it is guys like Royce... generally you are overpaying for the production you will get.
