Jazz Free Agency Summer of 2018

Guys i think the free agency from jazz - perspective is over. Its kind of sad because it was all about keeping the guys together (who dont fit perfectly) instead of persuade real free agents. They will guarantee Jerebko and Grayson Allen will be the difference maker :D

The room MLE is 4.4 mil

Jazz must have not seen him as an upgrade over Jonas, who makes 4.5 mil

Georges Niang will only make 1.4-1.5ish... and that is who will get that spot... Jonas will get waived... I have seen the future... and it is bright.
 
I really don’t understand Bjelica going to the Sixers. Maybe taking over the Ilyasova role? But they just traded for wilson chandler, who basically has the same profile and plays the same position.
 
Philly going to have to cut some guys... also what happens if Bolden says he wants to come over now... they are at 17 guys... Bayless will get cut but they have a roster crunch.
 
Disagree with keeping Jonas and not signing Bjelly for less $$$, but whatever.

I don’t want Niang. I hated that f***er when he played at ISU. Rock Chalk forever.

As a KU guy, all of the Jazz’s Duke and Big 12 connections make this hard.

What about bringing Udoh back and trying to poach Mbah a Moute from Houston for Jonas money? Haven't heard much about his health but could be a win-win if healthy...

Depth isn't a bad thing and Belly was better than Chandler. I would have gone for Ellington though if I were them.
 
Full run it back mode engaged. If Bjelly had signed with Philly for more or longer term than Jonas, then I’d get it.

I guess it’s also possible he just chose Philly over Utah?
 
Also of note — after bringing in Chandler and Bjelly, the Sixers probably have no interest in Jabari.

Poor Jabari. Sign for the QO with the Bucks?
 
After we brought back Thabo, Favors, Neto and Exum, the smart play was keeping Udoh, waiving Jerekbo, and signing Niang to a Royce type deal. Jerekbo nor Niang would play much this year. Better to spend $1.5 on Niang (with future team options) than $4.2 on Jerekbo.

I think we should offer the MLE to Jabari just to see what happens. Maybe send a second rounder for them to not match.
