If Beasley is going for $2.7 million then we need to drop the 13 - 15th roster perma bench guys in favor of signing a player or two from the remaining vets. If for no other reason than to be the adults in the room.
Adults in the room? Have you ever read anything posted on this forum, like, ever?
 
Oubre would be a great addition. He plays pretty good defense at multiple positions. I'm not sure he is willing to come here and/or probably prefers a starting spot, but he doesn't have many options now. He's not a great 3 point shooter but he's okay and you expect him to be a little more efficient with lower usage. We could use another athletic wing who can defend and still spaces the floor.
I’d offer him the room exception - either 2 years with a player option for the 2nd or 3 years with a team option for the 3rd. I mean, if he says no. . . it’s not like the Jazz have anything better they could offer him. I think he’d be a great mercenary off the bench.

If they could wrap that up, I’d cut Luka Samanic and move Fontecchio over to more of a 4.

Markkanen - Oubrey - Sensabaugh
Collins - Hendricks - Fontecchio

To me, that’s a pretty solid group of forwards to start with - plus you’ve still got KO who could play some 4 in a pinch if necessary.

Not how it works I think. I’m sure he tried to get a lot more and when he couldn’t he went to a contender for peanuts to rebuild his rep. Don’t think he’d accept that deal with Utah.
