2020 Free Agency Thread

I predict Hayward plays in less than 60% of possible games over those 4 seasons.

The jazz draft and signings kind of feels like they are preparing to move on without Rudy, but the reports are they are negotiating a contract extension? Hmm...

Excited to see if Ingles and Favors can reignite the magic.

I dont think they are preparing to move on without Rudy but the draft gives some insurance if that happens. I think they knew that the odds are very high that anyone in the range they were drafting was unlikely to contribute this year. And given their philosophy of defense, they used the pick on someone that MIGHT be a huge difference maker in that space for years to come. Unlike many on this board and most NBA teams, the Jazz are not building the whole system around wings. I happen to agree that finding adequate wings is not nearly as difficult as finding very good rim protectors. Favs was brought back to make us better this year - and I dont think there is 10M that could have been spent better to do so. Our drafting was for the future.

This is David Locke projecting the current roster. It doesn't look like JWF or Rayjon Tucker will be back. Locke is also making this look like the next obvious move is for a backup PG.

Our backup PG is already on the roster - Conley.

Or should be

It’s stupid to do depth charts like this because DM and Ingles function as Pgs too. Signing another pg only would prove to me we don’t get it. Sign a wing. What happens if Oni sucks or we have an injury?

If it was Jevon Carter Gary Payton (not really a pg) I’m fine because they are defenders.

I would love Carter. Dump NWG

Well that is ALL anyone has to say about Bane as a negative. At best, it’s annoying and myopic.

I didn't intend to write a full player evaluation. It was just passing comment with a little bit of sarcasm. Dats and does and all.

How anyone comes away with wingspan=basketball success is beyond me and dramatic AF.

This is Locke trying to imprint on people's minds what he thinks the roster should look like. It must reflect what the front office is thinking.

I was being sarcastic too my guy... was more a comment on how measurement focused we get (and front offices) rather looking at the most important thing... can the ****ing play ball.

Jevon Carter would fit. He's restricted though. I'm guessing the Jazz are looking at Shaq Harrison.

Sadly I think I agree.

I wish. I will take back a lot of the mean **** I said if so.
