Jazz Offseason Plan

Jingled said:
There were reports at last years trade deadline that the Cavs turned down offers for Nance that included multiple 1st round picks. I seriously doubt we have the assets to acquire him. You'd likely need to offer an expiring contract and a couple of 1st round picks, and they may even turn that down.

It does seem hard to believe, but maybe things have changed with Mobley? They also have Love and are about to pay Allen. They do need to get out of this log jam but if I were them I wouldn't do it by dumping Nance.

I would agree with the notion that he's a positive asset, not negative on his contract.

I couldn’t tell you their motivations for them leaking that he’s on the market because they shouldn’t really be looking. But they’re the Cavs? IDK, sometimes weird **** happens.

If I had to venture a guess, they realize that they also have no particular reason for holding onto him and might regret passing on some offers, so now they’re trying to get something like a bidding war going. But I don’t know. The Cavs are a disaster.

If I was the Cav's I would hang onto him until the trade deadline. I think teams are more desperate at the deadline than in the offseason and are willing to pay more.
 
Apparently the Bulls are looking to move Sato and Thad to get space to sign Lonzo. Thad was really good last season, but he was doing it as a roll man next to a stretch 5. Would be a similar addition to Nance defensively.

Can we attach players or picks to a TPE in a trade?

You can send picks, but a team can only absorb a contract at or below the value of the TPE and cannot be packaged with another player to bring in a player whose contract is larger than the TPE.

Kinda hoping that the trade with OKC totally consummated so the Jazz can go back and look at making it a three team deal. Sending out Favors (to whoever) and receiving Nance should've been sufficiently salary-matched. But it sounds like it's consummated, and this whole thing is probably pipe dreaming.

Just guessing but I think at this point Jazz may keep their core together
They did a lot they needed to do
They traded Favors, they got Butler who they wanted, looks like they sign Conley at a
somewhat reasonable contract
Now they may need to get Udoka and Hughes ready to play
Next they need to sign a couple vets to fill some needs
They are no longer at code red and have some options

I am excited about Butler, but the Jazz haven’t done a single thing yet to address the perimeter defense problem. I’ll feel much better when somebody between 6’5 and 6’9 is added that can guard 3s and 4s.

Brantley is a little surprising given he rarely got any burn in his first 2 seasons.

Brantley was stuck in the rotation behind Niang. Now that the Jazz have seen what Niang looks like against the Clippers and the fact that he's a FA, Brantley may have a shot to make the 15-man rotation. It might be close though.
 
How much are their qualifying offers? If I were Brantley I’d hurry and sign to get that payday after being on two-way.

Thad is a guy I wanted last year and I basically stayed this is how i would use him… some folks scoffed… not gonna dig up the receipts. The stretch 5 had nothing to do with it. He was already being used this way before Vucevic got there. His splits pre AS break are basically identical. He’d be great.
