You paying the bill?Is this really a 3 year luxury roster? It's gonna cost us $150 million in 21-22.

Yes. We pay for it in all the time we’re watching a team that’s financially handcuffed, and watching those ads that drive revenue.You paying the bill?
The rooks will be fresh.well maybe they are done because the guys we are interested in want more money they we have left. Or maybe they want to give some of the young guys a shot a making an impact or maybe you are right and the Jazz front office has no clue. What upsets me is that after the season ended all DL talked about was the need to get more athletic wings who could defend and not mess up spacing. So what happened? we got bigger which i think needed to happen but not on the wings. So unless Brantley or Oni or Morgan make a huge leap we haven't really improved much. Favors helps in some ways but we still have the problems we had before when you let him go. I have a small hope that perhaps could be a surprise off the bench guy but he and Udoka are getting a raw deal having to jump right in NBA action after 9 months of not playing. So they may not contribute at all.
Brantley probably gets signed to a two way so that's all folks. Time to take the kak out of the oven and start frosting it.So it's
Conley - Clarkson - NWG
Mitchell - Ingles - Oni - Tucker
Bogey - Royce - Hughes
Favors - Morgan - Niang
Gobert - Udoka
So I guess it's down to NWG, Tucker, and Brantley for the last two spots?
Oni is the new addition... it’s the classic DL rope a dope... AB and Dante were big additions 4 seasons in a row.Maybe they are done because the guys we are interested in want more money they we have left.

We got bigger but not at the wings. So unless Brantley or Oni or Morgan make a huge leap we haven't really improved much. Favors helps in some ways but we still have the spacing problems we had before. I have a small hope that Hughes could be a surprise off the bench but he and Udoka are getting a raw deal having to jump right in NBA action after 9 months of not playing. No summer league and a shortened camp. So they may not contribute at all.
Like we will be better but it’s the opportunity cost and the assets we used to get there.Watch Rudy get supermaxed to cap things off.
I like Favors and Doke as players, but adding Doke and Favors as the two “big” offseason additions really made little sense to me.
If minutes are the issue, I really think we should have moved Joe Ingles and replaced him with someone like DJJ. Joe’s best days are behind him.
I dunno. I don’t necessarily hate any of the moves individually, but the sum total doesn’t make a lot of sense.
Yeah but the goal is a title... not just beating Denver.Here’s the thing — Add a healthy Bogey and add Favors to last year’s team and I think we beat Denver.
We should have beaten Denver anyway. It looked to me like the Jazz had guys who didn't want to be in the Orlando bubble anymore.Here’s the thing — Add a healthy Bogey and add Favors to last year’s team and I think we beat Denver.
Yeah - and I think we give the Lakers a tough time as well. AD is going to have a hell of a time vs Rudy and Favors. This team is DEEP. But we still need one more piece. A wing.Yeah but the goal is a title... not just beating Denver.
At least with Tucker you can make an upside argument. NWG is just not an NBA player.There a chance that Brantley comes back on a two IIRC. If he doesn’t get a real deal from another team, his choices are to take the two way from us or play in another league....which I’m not sure is possible given the times.
That means 14 and 15 could very well be NWG and Tucker. Personally, I’d be pissed if I was Brantley and I see these two getting paid so much more. We should really cut one of those two and give Brantley a guaranteed year with two non guaranteed years after.
Yeah...maybe Tucker can make things work when he’s not terrified to play NBA basketball. He’s got the talent to potentially be an NBA player, I’ll give him that.At least with Tucker you can make an upside argument. NWG is just not an NBA player.
I love the 2nd unit. If Conley is in it.Our 2nd unit should be good this season -- Conley/Clarkson/Ingles/Royce/Favors.
