Which Free Agent veteran players will we go for?

I was looking at the free agent lists. I don't see too many that I think we realistically have a shot at competing for the team.

I would love to go after Chandler Parsons but I think he will go with an established roster.

Thabo Sefolosha
Trevor Ariza
Patrick Patterson
Caron Butler
Channing Frye
Jason Smith
Shawn Marion

We need a couple just for injury insurance. I see Utah perhaps bringing Marvin back. He's good to have because he can play the 3 or 4.
 
Ariza.

Thats about the only one i like
 
I'm excited to see what happens with G-Time. I hope Jazz don't pay him too much. And I kinda hope they can sign and trade him for something good.

He's a free agent, so this is on-topic.
 
Marv. Eric Bledsoe(kinda). Greg Monroe. Chandler Parsons. Lance Stevenson(Not much really) Pau Gasol. Chris Bosh. Carmello(haha) Marcin Gortat. Must front load most of their contracts if you could.
 
I would go for the younger vets. Parsons, Patterson, J Smith. On the cheaper side for stretch 4/5 types there is Leuer and Ryan Kelly.
 
JLIII. He counts because his contract wasn't guaranteed. Marvin Williams. That's it.
Roster is done, time for the Jazz brass to kumbaya in Hawaii.
 
I'll be fine with either McBob or Marv. Otherwise, keep the roster intact, re-sign Hayward if possibru. Bring over Tomic

Burke/Exum
Burks/Exum
Hayward/Hood
Favors/MarvorMcBob/Tomic
Kanter/Gobert/Tomic

might be hard to bring over Neto unless Burke is traded or something (which I disagree with FWIW). Will Exum be ready to start right from the get-go? Another intriguing question. If Hayward isn't re-upped, we need a SF badly-- Burks won't be able to guard other small forwards.

EDIT: COMPLETELY forgot about Rodney Hood. Man, what a clutch pick at 23!
 
Burke
Neto
Burks
Exum
Hayward
Hood
Tomic
Favors
Kanter
Gobert

this is a core I am excited to follow.
 
I think and I would think most of you would agree except the trolls on here, that we need to sign Patty Mills to a decent contract to mentor Dantè Exum. With Mills ties to Dennis Lindsey and the Spurs bodes well but also being a guard and coming over from Australia would help with Dantè development immensely, not to forget Patty Mills had a very good season last season and playoff run. I say throw the full MLE at Patty Mills. I see a rotation of Burke/Mills/Neto at the 1 and Exum/Burks at the 2.

Then trade for Ryan Anderson like Kanter and a draft pick or two should get it done.

Sign Marcin Gortat as well, so a big rotation of Favors, Anderson, and Gortat would be ideal, probably Gortat and Favors starting and Anderson picking up the majority of the minutes as the 3rd big. Jeremy Evans and Rudy Gobert getting spot minutes.

Last, after listening to all these interviews this last week everyone from management and coach sound like Gordon Hayward is a sure thing to be re-signed. So then you have a rotation of Hayward/Hood at the 3.
