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

I think we should seriously explore the European role player market. I'm not talking about stars here. Pure role players that defend and shoot.

I still want Nikola Kalinic. He's exactly what I envision as depth/rotation piece off the bench who can defend and shoot a bit. He's not a superstar in Europe so he's not overpaid and we can probably give him competitive offer. Nicolo Melli is another one. We should just target role players in Europe for a role player spot on our roster. Easier transition, lower compensation... probably easier to draw them in. Go find the next Royce O'Neal and don't worry if he's scoring 8 points a game in Europe. If he can defend and shoot and dribble twice without turning it over, just get them over.

I'd be game. Might be a good mix as well with any our 2nd that make the roster.
 
Here's another one as a possible Harden/Curry defender - Avery Bradley. He's coming off a bad season, but oh well... if we are throwing **** at the wall... he's one that probably has better chance than most to stick...

I think there’s some possible off-the-court legal issues that would make him a no.

Great, great post.
 
If Chandler stays with the Lakers, I’d consider Bogut or Pachulia cheap as ****. Both bring some nasty

I feel like we need another wing and likely one who won’t bitch if he’s getting a DNP (Conley, Mitchell, Exum and O’Neale play minutes there plus the rookies perhaps) or playing just 8 minutes a game or is needed to play 24 due to injury. Caruso makes a lot of sense.

That said, if we opt out of Faves and can dump Bradley, I wonder if we could do 4/48 for Portis and 4/24 for Green.

Any way we can get all four?

Conley-Caruso-Foreman
Mitchell-Exum
Ingles-O’Neale-Oni
Portis-Green-Niang
Gobert-Bogut

Only other thing I’d love is one more killer spot up shooter on the wing.

Considering he just played with Conley at Memphis, I would defer to Conley's opinion on that one. If he thinks Bradley could be a great asset, we should add him.

The off court issue thing generally takes you off the list for the Jazz regardless of other players opinions.
