Jazz Offseason Plan

[fishonjazz]

I want Niang back. He’s a 40%+ three point shooter who is a better defender than most of our rotation. Played completely awful in the second round, but we need him.

He’s way better than this board rates him. And why? Because he’s fat?

Agreed.
He is hated so much due to recency bias

He is proving to be a regular season kind of weapon.

At the right price, you can have one or two of these.

Niang is the poor man’s budget Bogey. If Bogey gets traded, keep Niang for dat shooting.

Said he would be very interested in Frank as a minimum contract. Basically most of what you've said: Getting out of NYK pressure, relationship with Rudy, shares same agent with Rudy, defensive player who can shoot OKish. Worth it for small contract.

He had interesting things to say on Jones, but I can't remember most of it.

Thank you for sharing.

Eh...he was really bad in the LAC series but his playoffs haven't been that bad. Was good in the DEN series and probably should have gotten more minutes against HOU. That perception can change really quickly too. Donovan Mitchell came off of back to back horrific playoff series and suddenly turned into a great playoff performer from then. For a guy who's primary job is to make wide open shots, I wouldn't let a bad shooting streak define him.

I’ve been in Niang’s corner. Consistently. His playoff performances have underwhelmed, and that’s just the truth of it.

I wasn't underwhelmed with him against DEN or HOU, and if you were, I think you have very high expectations. Thought he was just fine in the MEM series too after a bad shooting game 1. I don't find much about his game that doesn't translate and like I said, these narratives can change so quickly. It's the nature of small sample sizes.

You can’t supplant me from Niang Island, sorry. But it does look like you might be creating a new floating island of your own. Cool.

Just heard an Andy Larsen interview where he said he thinks NIang makes more than 5.8 million next year. So never mind at that number. I'm thinking Niang is more like 3.5 million.

If you have Gobert and Nance then you can play with 3 Niangs on the floor.

$3.5 is almost the vet minimum. I think he's closer to $10M a year than $5M. Not crazy to think that he gets a full MLE somewhere on a shorter deal. Niang is not the player/shooter Bertans, Harris, or Duncan Robinson are, but compare their shooting numbers + impact numbers and how much they have/will get paid.

Shooting gets paid.
