Conley Officially a Jazzman

[str8line]

I am not great with the cap, but it looks to me that if we waive all bird rights, don't pick up Favors, Neto and Niang we will have 19,120,132 to a single FA or 20,017,290 to split across two FA. Can anyone confirm this number?

Conley 32,511,623
Rudy 25,008,427
Ingles 11,954,546
Exum 9,600,000
Mitchell 3,635,760
Bradley 1,962,360
O'Neale 1,618,520
Min contract 897,158
Min contract 897,158
Min contract 897,158
Min contract 897,158
Free Agent 19,120,132
Total 109,000,000

I hope O'Neale gets his dinner tab picked up a lot this year.

None of those will make the FO release/trade Favors. At least I don't think so...

I don't disagree, but at least 6/8 of them should and it's not even close.

Why do people want picks this year so bad? The odds of drafting someone who can help are minuscule to none.

We need bench help. The draft won’t give us that.

Because we have like... 10 players under contract. We need to fill that roster somehow and draft picks are cheap way to do it.

I don't think you guys realize just how bad Bradley is. He is not a viable backup Center in the NBA by any stretch of the imagination.

Because there will be players taken in the 2nd round this year that end up really solid NBA players. It's a pretty deep draft with medium level talent. There will be players fall to the 40s that were projected in some mocks as early 20s picks. There's a lot of variance there.

Reading around general NBA boards and it's probably about 85/15 in terms of the Jazz winning this deal. Most fans don't think a lot of Korver/Crowder (having been traded so many times) and Allen (professional tripper) and that the picks won't really be that good.

In Memphis' defense, they had to do something, but maybe this was truly the best deal they could do right now with a team like Boston not wanting to commit that salary ahead of FA.

If they can buy into the late 1st or early 2nd round to get a guy they like the pick that went to Memphis essentially becomes cash considerations.

Weak benches lose championships see GSW.

We need to strengthen our bench to be taken seriously. As someone mentioned move Ingles to the bench

Then why Jazz did better vs Houston with Favors at 5? I love Rudy, don't get me wrong, but he is playing in wrong era.

Gobert is more athletic than Marc Gasol ……… big difference is Snyder has Gobert dropping back in the paint instead of jumping out like Gasol did against GS. Gasol jumped out yet could slide back to protect the rim .Snyder can take some lessons there

Agreed. And this is why future 1sts don't bother me much. An early second is nearly as good as a late 1st, and picks can be bought if necessary (we've done it before). The only way we're missing the playoffs is if two of Rudy, Conley, and/or DM go down. If so, there are protections in place for a while.
