Free Agent Target - Prince

Werd. And for the most part, agree with everyone else here (like a more well-rounded, less pouty AK, but doesn't really make sense for the Jazz with his age or that he's likely to sign with a team willing to eat the last year or two of his deal).

And those two last years that the Jazz would have to "eat" would be years they need the cap space to re-sign some of the younger players who will no longer be on rookie contracts. No to Prince. Yes to developing Burks and Hayward and possibly their 1st round pick next season - very good chance they draft a SF.
 
I guess it is a question of are seriously are we trying to compete this year? Play the young guns and hope we get an 8 seed? Or do we try and make our starters the best we can?
 
I think the short year helps old teams more than young teams.
This is a year to grow and learn and gel.
Next year is the year we should really get things clicking.
I don't think we want to add an old player just to compete this year if it hurts us in the long run.

Even WITH Prince, the Jazz would not contend for a title this year. So do you try to perhaps grab the 5th/6th seed while endangering the long-term success of the franchise (i.e. a bad contract in a couple of seasons)? Or do you opt for player development and probably a pick - maybe even two - in what should be a very good draft?
 
This season I doubt we sign ANY vet FA's except our own. In a short pre-season and season, they would struggle to learn and/or fit into our team system.

While I agree with what you're saying, I am afraid 90% of our team is going to struggle to fit into our "team system". That being said, I think we are going to do juuuuussttt ffiiiiinnnneee! :)
 
No to Prince. I like him as a player but we do not need old expensive players on this team right now. We need to develop the young talent that we have.
 
This team needs veterans, but not right now. Let these young guys get some playing time, develop, and then start adding veterans to the mix. And when they add veterans, I hope they don't get guys who just participated in a coup against the head coach.
 
The Corbin system. Kind of the Sloan system on...hmm...what is the opposite of steroids?
