What's new

News, rumors and buzz around the draft and free agency

Yes, I was thinking this, too after seeing that you noted seeing him. I was trying to find info about him last night. I guess I'd be OK with him as an upside play. I haven't seen much reporting yet that makes me think that he'll be anything more than another lean, athletic 6-7 body to use defensively. Maybe a lot like Sef, but without the savvy and shooting, but (at this point) more athleticism.

He was on a two way with Sacramento last year... was in their rotation early in the year. I think Bogdon was out. I've always been impressed with his defense, but the shot isn't good... his swag at summer league was phenomenal doe.
 
What would be the benefit behind waiting to sign Davis?

I think Dan Clayton was saying that we could offer a 3-year deal to someone (perhaps one of the rooks, if we believed in them) that would be impossible if we completed the Davis signing first. 2-year at most otherwise.

The quirks of the CBA. That would make sense though.
 
Damn. This is the only guy that I’d have really liked to keep the full MLE for. Would gladly have traded Exum for space and have signed JaMychal Green and Caruso.

Of all the teams I didn't want him going to it's the stupid Clippers. @$^*%!!!

I figured they were the front runners. Hence why the Jazz needed to operate above the cap and keep the full MLE in order to be able to offer more than just the Room MLE and minimum contracts like they have been. Most of these guys don’t matter. They won’t make a difference in the playoffs. That should be the ONLY focus right now. Improve your top 8 guys to a high level of play when rotations tighten.
 
I could see two places for Westbrook. Orlando and Minny.

Fournier, Fultz and Isaac for him and filler. Or instead of Isaac, put in Augustin and a 1st.

They could march out Westbrook, Ross, Aminu, Gordon and Vucevic with Augustin and Bamba your first two off the bench. That could be a very competitive group in the East.

I could also see Minny with a few different variations. Maybe Teague, Dieng, and a 1st for Westbrook. May have to throw Culver in there too.

Minny could then roll with Westbrook, Okogie, Wiggins, Vonleh, Towns. Not sure if I like that to even make the playoffs in the West tbh. But I could see Minny doing something to get him and make Towns happy.
