You're the GM this offseason. What do you do?

I think the goal of filling out the rest of the roster is to find as many switchy, versatile players as possible. Have your starting lineup be 4-out with a lot of creation and then Gobert yakking on everyone. Then your bench is a bunch of 6-5 to 6-9 players that can play three positions or more. Part of that is having a backup that can play center and comfortably shoot the three at >33%. That gives the Jazz an answer to everything that could be through at them.

That’s generally how I would approach things after figuring out who the starting 4 is. Players like Caruso, Carroll, and Royce fit that bill. Oni and Brantley might also.

There is a lot of chatter to Miami doing a sign and trade for Butler. https://allucanheat.com/2019/06/23/miami-heat-draft-trade-jimmy-butler/

If Butler 100% says no to Philly but Philly is still keeping Tobias and Redick, it makes sense for Philly to get anything they can for Butler via sign and trade. Philly can't sign and trade Butler AND keep Tobias and Redick. Their cap holds/salaries will be too big. That also means they can't accept all that much back in a trade in terms of contracts. So a 3rd team with space would be necessary and that's where we could come in.

If the resign boban, and Reddick early for reasonable deals they would be fine. They will probably drop a bunch of the other players that are cap holds. They have a pretty good salary situation since they only have 4 players under contract and 3 of those are rookie deals.

I can live with streaky at 7 million and with the Favors safety blanket. When Crowder went cold we could go 3 or 4 minutes without a bucket. Obviously, a lot of that was on Rubio too. I don't know I just don't see the "eye of the tiger" in Mirotic. The Jazz do well with guys that have high motors and moxie. I'm probably overreacting.

I mean he's less streaky than Jae because the overall numbers are much better in his direction. Either that or the highs are higher. Some of the eye of the tiger stuff is over-rated... I mean Kawhi has yet to show a human emotion. Jae isn't this high motor hustle guy imo… he makes plays and plays with emotion... it has some value but the production is more important.

Winslow is a very good, versatile player. With Conley and Donovan, we don't need a backup PG/SG as we do a PF with the handling, passing, shooting and defending that Winslow can provide.

And yes, Favors is better than Oylynk, but I think Olynyk would fit very, very well. He's like a poor man's Favors on defense, same rebounding but with a 3 point shot.

So what you're going to play Conley and Donovan 48 mins a game
 
Shams is reporting Favors will take calls from teams once free agency opens, operating as if he were one. Tony and everyone else are saying it's a smart move to know your options, but there's a little bit of smoke to this. The Jazz have probably hinted at or outright told him they're keeping THEIR options open. Like the Rubio deal. Let him know the truth.

This has been the prevailing assumption in the media for the past week: that the Jazz are keeping their options open, prepared to either keep him or move on if they find something they like better. So I don't really see this as news, other than to just confirm that they haven't told Favors something different from what the media is reporting. I don't think this report should change anyone's mind about the likelihood that he will either move or stay.
 
It's not news that Favors and his agent are going to explore other options. Of course they are. It would be foolish not too because they don't know how the free agency period will play out.

It doesn't indicate that Favors is going or staying. It just indicates both Favors and the Jazz are keeping all options open. As 10000% expected.

What it does indicate is that the Jazz have given the ok.

There's no reason why they wouldn't. They have a good relationship with him. The Jazz have him here if they choose. And if they decide to go in a different direction they want to do right by him.
 
We are making a bit too much of Niko hitting a cold streak in the playoffs. He was cold Ersan was hot... Bud rode the hot hand. Niko was pretty damn good in the playoffs the year before and has played well against teams like GS and Houston the last 2 years... but yeah he won’t be able to stay on the court in the playoffs...
 
I like that Favs agent is going out and talking to teams to see what interest is out there... imagine the Jazz not guaranteeing the contract and his agent being like “ I had no idea this could happen... guess I’ll go talk to some teams”.

He’s literally doing the most key function of his job... if he wasn’t he should be fired yesterday. This is not news.
