Jazz sign Bojan

[Jack Strop]

As much as I hate what Gordon Hayward did, a team comprised of Rubio, Mitchell, (non injured) Hayward, Favors and Gobert would’ve been amazing. Jingles and Hood with bench roles. Would’ve still needed to make another move beyond Rubio, but that team would’ve been legit. DL ****ed up by not giving Hayward the full 5 year rookie max instead of letting him go negotiate his own deal in 2014.

The big issue would’ve been dealing with the 2017 scenario right now. Because it’s still likely that he would be leaving right now given how free agency has played out in the past 24 hours.

How quickly some forget. Someone bump the Gordon FA thread from that summer and let's see what the consensus was on giving him a max contract. Coming off a horribly inefficient year, Utah was willing to give him an identical contract to Favors.

Hindsight is great, isn't it? Kudos to Gordo for busting his *** to make himself into a star. He wasnt back then. He could have just as easily turned into Wiggins. It wasnt like he came into the league like Donovan. Theres zero doubt about giving him maximum he's eligible for. There was with Hayward at the time.

DL and the Jazz timed this perfectly.

Just as GS's window is closing, we come bursting in.

They timed it perfectly. Patience and a plan, it's all coming together now.

The problem if Lakers get Kawhi (very good chance I think), it's going to be hard to beat Lebron/Leonard/Davis. That's a superteam better than the Lebron/Wade/Bosh one.

Hey, we can't win em all. And that Lakers team will have zero depth. I like our chances.

So Lebron/Leonard/Davis is arguably 3 of the top 6 players in NBA
Does that make them best team of alltime?

Team? Definitely not. I still have my doubts about them playing together. Kawhi and Davis struggle to stay healthy and LeBron was injured last year for the first time in his career. Then they have to fill out the rest of their roster with 9 minimum players. Good luck with that.

Will they be good? No doubt. I’d fully expect a Jazz vs Lakers WCF if Kawhi goes there.

Good 2 minute clip. I'll have to watch the whole thing.

If they sign Leonard, who do they get to fill out the roster with minimum contracts. We could beat them.

So, legit question. Is Utah a Superteam now?

Superteam requires 3 or 4 all-star selections

Interesting that the Jazz met with Bojan and made a deal within 30 mins. Also Tony liking the idea of Jared Dudley would be a great acquisition due to twitter game.

C’mon man. Had Conley been in the east he’d have that. The only reason Gobert hasn’t been an allstar is that he’s known more for defense than offense, and this is only Mitchell’s third year. He’ll have a good shot at being one with Klay injured. This a super team

DL and Zanik busted through the wall like the ******** kool-aid man

 

[Coach Ellis]

Jazz have 10 guys under contract

Conley - Exum
Mitchell - O’Neale
Bogdanovic - Jingles
Niang
Gobert - Davis - Bradley

Plus 3 rookies competing for a roster spot or a 2 way contract. (JWF - Oni - Brantley)

Theoretically, they have 3/4 roster spots available and a HUGE hole at PF. Hopefully one of the guys still left (JaMychal Green) will see the opportunity to play their way into a big deal next year and round things out nicely.
