Like if you can get Oladipo and he can give you 60 games in the season and be ready for the playoffs, could he provide Royce level defense with offensive upside to explode for big games?

I think it's reasonable and you can probably get him for about the same money Royce was making.

In the past three seasons, he’s only played in 60 games total. Maybe as a buy low option where you’re not counting on anything out of him. . . it could work.

Can he stay healthy though? This feels a LOT like Rudy Gay 2.0 - not sure the Jazz should prioritize older, oft-injured players for awhile.

What's the alternative? Jeremy Lamb/Garry Harris/Donte Divicenzo?

Also all pretty injury prone and not as talented.

I would say:

Give Oladipo some of the MLE
Re-sign Juancho to a cheaper deal
Sign Yuta Watanabe for whatever it takes
Sign Mike Muscala
Sign Troy Brown JR.

Get Trevelin Queen, Yuta, Troy Brown, bring back House or Juancho (or both if they both take minimums)

Just let it play out... you will find a couple useable wings. I like Muscala at the minimum as well. I don't think we have a shot at winning anything great... so just stay nimble and find some diamonds. Eventually blow this **** up.

This ^^^
That would be my strategy. Honestly wouldn’t mind adding Paschall to that list as well - depending on what he gets.
 
There's like ZERO reason not to add Dipo if he wants to come.

Guess what? If the Jazz flame out this year, they are going to tank the following year.

Might as well go all in (short of trading draft picks) and get the most potential you can on the team.
 
Look we won't get KD... but what if Brooklyn wanted to pair Don and BS... Phoenix sends Bridges, all their future picks, Ayton... Brooklyn gets Don and maybe Ayton... we take Bridges and the picks? I don't know but I could see a scenario where the best package for KD is a rebuild package that Brooklyn isn't interested in... we give Don and take on a better rebuild package than we would have got in a 2 team deal.

I don’t disagree completely - I’m just hesitant after the commitments made to Favors and Gay recently. Both of those deals seem to have bitten us on the ***.

Yeah becuase the Jazz had to move them to get off salary for the owner.

If the Jazz tank, they will be getting off salary by tanking and trading away their stars. It won't be an issue. We will just have Oladipo on our tanking team. He will either be injured, or he will get to be our star who we can raise his value while we tank and trade him mid-season.
