2021 Free Agency

So after Conley and Butler sign Jazz will have 10 players not counting Oni
under contract if I'm right
Jazz would then need to sign 5 more and 2 two-way players to get to 17
Jazz have a lot of work to do

Yall are pretty crazy when talking about Gay... go ahead and look at his stats... then ask yourself do we need a guy that can play PF and stretch the floor and what are the best options for a smallball 5 in the playoffs. Multiple guys pop up and play small ball 5 and everyone is like "who knew?". He's next in a line of guys that made the shift and people will be shocked.

I don’t have the obsession with a small ball 5 that everyone else seems to have. Really feels like it compounds the problems we have. It’s going to be a layup line…but it is more of a Quin thing than anything.

If you look at Gay’s numbers, they were way down besides 3 point shooting. At 35 I don’t see an upgrade in toughness or physicality. I don’t think he’s going to transform into a roll man.

Rudy has never been a flow guy. Maybe that’s exactly what he needs to keep things going after 30k+ minutes, but I’m not really expecting it. I think he will continue to regress in most areas as most 35 year olds do.

Bojan for Smart saves $4 million.

Could we start Conley, Don, Smart, Royce and Rudy?

If you can start Bogey, I don’t see why not. Smart is way tougher and better at defending bigger guys than Bogey.

Brad Stevens reportedly frustrated by Marcus Smart, trade likely

Issues between Boston Celtics executive Brad Stevens and guard Marcus Smart could lead to a blockbuster trade.

It's tricky because he's an expiring, but he's one of the top 3 guys I've wanted to pair with Mitchell. It seems a lot less likely with Conley re-signed, sadly. He's not tall enough to slot in at 3, and too good to bring off the bench.

I'm in the minority but I'd build a package around a sign and trade of Conley for Smart/other stuff. I'm not even sure Boston would do it either.

If you swap Bogey for Smart, that makes your lineup:

6'1" Conley
6'1" Mitchell
6'3" Smart
6'4" O'Neale
Rudy.

That is way too small, even in the modern NBA.

Bogey’s 6’8 does nothing. If you can play Bogey in that lineup, there is no reason why you can’t play Smart. He is better than Bogey at every “big” thing.

He’s been brought off the bench plenty of times in his career.
 
I really hope we use the trade exceptions. I don’t know how it works necessarily but as I understand it we can take on salary that fits within the exception? If that’s true there could be a number of guys available.
