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

In terms of off-season success, signing an unrestricted Russell is 2nd only to signing Tobias.

Even if we maxed Russell AND kept Korver, we have cap space left and the room exception. If Korver retired, we could be sitting on $10+ million in cap space.

C'mon Donovan, get to work on him.

I prefer D-Lo to Harris. He fills a much much bigger need and has more upside. Harris is really over rated on this board. I would be happy to get him but wow does this board really over rate him. No team has cared about keeping him... People bag on D-lo defense but are okay with Harris defense? Advanced stats say D-lo was a better defender at 4 years younger. My eyes would agree.

I think this board is just desperate for a stretch 4 and think that is the solution to all our problems. But a shooting PG and SG is a much much much much bigger deal for us. We have had a pure stretch 4 last year and they couldn't get playing time. We also already have an okay stretch 4 in Crowder. Russell is Rubio with a respectable shot and just as good or better defense. He is a huge upgrade at that position. Harris is an upgrade at the 4 but not much over Favors and Crowder if you factor in defense.

We can also get Russell and still pick up a solid 4 to backup or start at the 4. We also have room to get a solid backup 5 that we lose in Favors. Pickup Mirotic, Aminu, Thaddeus, JaMychal, Morris, Chandler, Jabari, Tolliver, or Mike Scott along with Russell and we are really set. There are way more options at that position. Or there are some solid trades at that position.

To me the most important thing about this offseason is who can play well with Donovan. And Donovan has only tipped his hand toward one player if I'm not mistaken. I think Conley or Kemba would be great too.
 
All I know is that when Rubio plays like an all star PG, the Jazz have looked freaking amazing. Unfortunately, this happens only every third or fourth game. Imagine if we got that type of production every night. . .

If you go with Russell it's going to be who can outshoot each other between him and Donovan

To me Russ and DM seem a little redundant. If we go pg it needs to be Conley. But how people don’t see what Harris gives us is our biggest need is beyond me.

We can slide Mitchell to PG and let Russ gun the 2. Utah then has a guard rotation of DM, Russ, (misc PG), Royce, and Allen. I'd prefer a younger player like Russ to Conley, but I'll take either.

Disagree Ron. The stretch 4s we’ve tried suck balls. Harris is not to lay a sweet shooting spacing 4 but an elite playmaker PNR ballhandler. He’d look like an all star in our system

Russell doesn’t get to the line. Both their defensive capabilities suck

Neto and exum should be a part of that rotation as well

Bear with me. Everybody should like this trade.

So we know the Nets may let Russell go. The most rumored buyers for Russell are Indy, Utah, Minnesota and Phoenix. Recently, Russell positively commented on this TWEET of him and Towns at their draft. So let's just assume Russell would want Minnesota if released by the Nets. This trade idea hinges on that. Also, please note that this trade would go into effect on July 1 when we have around $33 million in cap space after all renouncing.

Minnesota gets future 2nd rounders from Utah & Memphis

Memphis gets Teague (expiring $19 million), Exum ($9.6), #23 from Utah and a heavily protected 2021 Utah 1st

Utah gets Conley ($32.5 million), Covington ($11.3), and Saric ($3.5)

Why for Minnesota: they have to shed Teague's big $19 million expiring and more in order to make a run at Russell. In order to shed that contract, they sacrifice Covington and Saric. All things considered, Minnesota would mainly be losing Covington in order to sign Russell because Saric wasn't a player featured much in Minnesota. There is no market for Wiggins and Dieng's contract is too big for anybody to take.

Why for Memphis: they want the best value possible for Conley. Getting two 1sts and shedding a bunch of 2020-21 money is pretty enticing. They could even look to trade Teague's expiring for more value (to Charlotte, Phoenix, etc.). According to some reports, it seems like they had some interest in Exum before. If we could get a 4th team involved to take Teague for value back to Memphis, I wonder if we could keep our 2021 pick.

Why for Utah: we like Conley while Covington seems to have Jazz DNA written all over him. Covington is on a very team friendly deal for three more seasons. Saric could be a great fit for us as a stretch 4 option for either now or down the road. We lose 2 draft picks and future financial flexibility, but we stock up on talent in this deal. We might also have to waive and stretch Korver.


Just brainstorming...

The fact that Brooklyn could easily keep DLo and pair him with Irving but dont want to should be a red flag.

I think they play the same position and they might value Kevin Durant even more than d-lo

I am still not sure Russell is good... I know he made an all star game but I’m still crazy nervous to pay him the max. I don’t know if he’s a winning player... like if him and Zach Lavine switch spots are we saying Zach’s an all star and deserves the max?

Dlo and Kyrie would be a disaster... I think DM is a slightly better fit but still clunky... people keep thinking if you put two inefficient young guards together they will make each other more efficient? I’m not sure they develop that synergy and I think it becomes more of a “my turn your turn” system.
