So I am having a religious experience with this Jazz team. I haven't felt so stirred by the Jazz since I was in middle school. I've started smoking weed and listening to lots of 311 again.





I have bought into the notion that the Utah Jazz can -- with greater probability than ever before -- win the NBA Championship.


I've been on this message board for 16 years. We've talked so much about wishing the Jazz were this good. And that time has finally come. Now is the time. This is our window.

So if we really want to win a chip, and we have a new owner who may realize this and opts to go all-in, then Utah has to be strategic to plan ahead for playoff matches (e.g., LAL, LAC, Denver). What are the moves that must be made?

Who do we need to add to the team? Who is available? What are our assets? When would these moves be made?

I'm an idiot not a captologist. What's within our range? I saw something about wanting to pick up Mo Bamba for PF back up, and a-Trevor Ariza type dude to body up on Lebron.
 
The only player you can say really needs upgrading would be Niang.

Maybe like a James Ennis from Orlando?

Really hard to do anything because it has to be a guy you can match salary with and there is no one on Utah that needs to be traded who also has a high salary.

I would love love love to get Larry Nance JR, but he's overpaid for the role the Jazz would put him in and they can't match salary to get him.

We don't have any second round picks or fake assets (like a Tomic circa 2012) that we can send in deals, unless we think there's some upside in Udoka or Hughes that you could cash-in on. So you're kind of left with guys who are on the open market or who will be bought out. Best guys on the open market are RHJ and Korver. Combine them into one player and you've got yourself something.
 
Don't fix what ain't broken. There is no move which makes us significantly better. Just ride with what we have and hope for the best.

RHJ would not be a bad pickup for injury insurance. Good perimeter D to throw at the big wings.
