The players I would pursue:

Danny Granger: A previous scorer who shoots in high volume. Could be solid if a coach can reign him in.

Eric Bledsoe: Best PG in the class. A athletic freak and improving floor general. All- Star potential and could be available with the emergence of Dragic.

Zach Randolf: very similar game to Big All and his style of play matches the Jazz system.

Ramon Sessions: A strong back up PG who can slide over to the 2 guard. Instantly makes our bench much stronger.

Rudy Gay: Proven in the past that he can be a 20ppg player. If we can get him for a bargain I say go for it.

Anthony Morrow: Deadly 3pt shooter from anywhere on the floor. Not strong anywhere else but would help us spread the floor.

Andrew Bynum: Low risk high reward.

Greg Oden: low risk high reward.

Lance Stephenson: I personally don't like him but he's got a mean streak and swagger about him that says he wants to be a number 1 option. Not a bad risk for a rebuilding team looking for a gritty scorer.

4years/13mil... make it happen D Linds
 
Gay and Granger (who is on LAC BTW) are two biggest sucker bets out there. Not a coincidence that their respective teams took off as soon as they went down with long term injuries
 
What type of deal is Pau looking for? IF we were able to get Wiggins, how wod this look:

Burke
Burks
Wiggins
Favors/Kanter
Pau/Gobert

Never mind. I don't like it. We would be defensive, long, fast and athletic everywhere but Pau and Kanter.

Your right. I was thinking of Paul George when describing Granger thanks for the heads up.

How about this:

Burke/Collison
Burks/Collison
Wiggins/Marv Williams
Favors/Kanter
FA - are there any more C's available? /Gobert

We could give Collison a decent deal and still have near max money for a C.

The FA market does not seem good this year.
Yet DL said the Jazz would use the FA market to get back to contention.
Not sure what this means though.
 
Some more players I noticed when looking at the list again. I'm going to add them to the original as well:

Shaun Livingston
Andrie Kirilenko (Ply)
Josh McRoberts (Ply)
Drew Gooden
Patrick Patterson
Anthony Tolliver
Charlie Villanueva
Andrea Bargnani (Eto)
Byron Mullens
Jimmer Fredette

I think the only player really worth looking at is Luol Deng. But he will probably cost a lot. Hes a nice fit though if we dont find our small forward. Although, his age doesn't match up with the team either.

Im hoping we just get our player through the draft (sf). Not really interested in a big FA acquisition. Maybe if someone on there becomes a bargain.
 
Wow when was the last time the free agent class was this bad?

Wouldn't surprise me if Lindsey stayed in pick accumulation mode next year.

Are Hack and I the only ones that like Deng? Depending on the money he demands and who we pick in the draft, I think he would fit really well in a lot of ways.

Personally, I'd be targeting a scorer with free agency. I'd say that if we draft a SF/PF, and we re-up Hayward with Marv, then there's no point in Luol really.

Ideally, I'd hang onto Hayward and Marv, draft the best scorer in the draft, get a new coach, and bring in Neto. That's pretty much the offseason I'd try to have if I was the GM.
 
I like lowry but probably too expensive and i want to see what trey can do
