What's new

2020 Free Agency Thread

I love Favors more than most here and I've defended him to death, but this makes no sense! WTF is going on? Why would you draft a center and then sign Favors to 3 year contract? This makes no sense! Is Azubuike going to play in the G-League for 3 years now? WTF just happened? The only thing that would make this even remotely reasonable is if we are preparing to trade or lose Rudy in FA? But then this FO would be even more stupid than if they just spent a 1st round pick on a player who won't see the floor for 3 years.

The Lakers, Clippers, Nuggets, and Mavericks are not. The Jazz have not done one single thing to address their inability to guard on the perimeter or stretch 5s.
Gobert can guard stretch bigs. We just need a defensive schematic that doesn’t collapse when he’s out there. Oh and some competent perimeter defenders.
 
Curious what our plans are at backup pg now. Assuming it’ll be a defensive minded player. How much can we spend now on free agents who weren’t on the Jazz last year?
 
I've watched Rudy dominate without shooting along with many others. Scoring is basketball. I don't care about a trend today. Play to your strengths.
In the playoffs? Rudy gets scouted and his effects mitigated in the playoffs every year. How do the teams that beat us every year score? They shoot better and in more varied ways than we do. It is one of the pillars of elite basketball.
 
Houston's gone. Golden State's gone. Maybe the Jazz think this can work.

The teams they need to beat have bigs -- Denver, Portland, LAL...
GS won't go anywhere with Oubre instead Kley they will be slightly worse. Minnesota emerges for good season - the competition on the West side is even stronger than last year

To many things here I disagree with to debate. I leave you to your usual pity party.

Right. Which we've done nothing to address. The only way to protect the rim against 5-out offenses is with athletic wings. We'll see what happens with Bey and Woodard but I think at least one of them will be in the league and make us sad they aren't here.
