The off-season strategies (Jazz have limited options)

I doubt the Jazz resign JC. It's just something in my gut that tells me he is going for the payday and probably the Jazz get outbid. I would love to eat crow on this but the bat signal went off. Kind of like Haywood.

I have a hard time finding a team that will go higher than MLE. We should be willing to give him a touch more than that.

haywood actually took less dough to get out of town

Unless you can get a good PF/C, which would mean You could play them 30-ish minutes.

I’m still dreaming of Wood.

I just don’t know how it happens. Would require some out of the box GM-ing and we really ain’t with that.

Well I’m sure Lopo knows how to get the Jazz to trade for the Heat front office and we can make some magic happen.

Something big would have to happen with Conley and his salary. But.

I listen to the Rights to Ricky Sanchez Podcast (a sixers podcast...kind of) because those guys are pretty funny and they honestly are sixers fans who hate the sixers more than we do... so its kinda fun. Anywell... those guys are always saying they need someone that can dribble and create a reliable shot. They mentioned "even like Jordan Clarkson" and its kinda been rattling around in my head... would we do a sign and trade sending out JC and getting back Josh Richardson (a guy the RTRS guys always say is good but not a great fit with the roster).

I really like JC but wonder if you can't get maximum value by bring Mike off the bench in that bench scorer role. I think Mike could do it while distributing a little, but not on as much scoring volume as JC. Richardson adds a solid perimeter defender... streaky shooter and can create a little. IDK, just throwing something else against the wall.

I get the feeling that JC really exceeded DL's expectations with regard to fit and production... just kinda something I sensed in his after season interviews. Not sure he got him thinking they'd keep him... thought maybe he'd help but the expiring contract was pretty appealing.

I see no chance of that, but I would love that trade. That's a big upgrade for the Jazz.

Clarkson is okay but he isn't that great of a fit. He plays terrible defense and is a black hole on offense. Sometimes that's nice but often it hurts the team especially in the playoffs. Outside of the two blow out games he was a negative for the team.

Richardson is great fit next to Mitchell on both ends of the court.

I would still prefer to trade Conley but he would be really solid running the second unit and playing some with the starters. If he is playing well like he was in the playoffs he can end games.

Interesting take on Wood from the Pistons side. If they indeed see it as ground zero would they prefer expiring salary and pick for Wood?

Say we offered Ed and TB plus our first that conveys 2 years after the one we owe to Memphis... so 2023 on. Make it top 10 protected for the entire time. Would be a somewhat valuable pick since its a ways out.

Would you do it?
Using those guys we could offer something around 4/55M... Is that enough?

I could see Charlotte or Detroit offering a little more than that but would he rather be in a winning situation if the money was close? Hornets are rumored to want Wiseman and I think they could move to #1 easily if they wanted to.

Even if Wood didn't start you could mix him in to get 25 -30 minutes a game. Games against big teams he could start... if things are working well with him and Rudy then you make a permanent change.

The fact that Pistons fans arent overly excited to pay Wood should tell you something.
