2021 Free Agency

I have a feeling we may end up with Marcus smart

And how strong a feeling? Greater or lesser than @sirkickyass and his feeling that we’d draft Enes Kanter?

Unfortunately, you kind of are describing a rare type of player. Nance is interesting because he's not high-profile but theoretically checks off all those boxes at a modest level. I still think that would be a massive boon to the versatility of the roster. I should note that I don't think the Jazz can get Nance. If they could've traded that 1st they send to OKC (I don't think people are understanding how brutal that move was; thanks DL), maybe there was a shot.

Really? All four things I can see, but is perimeter defense and rebounding too much to ask for from the PF position?

Millsap is okay with the MLE....

NBA rumors: Paul Millsap 'amenable' to Warriors' mid-level exception

The taxpayer mid-level exception is worth about $5.9 million. Is Paul Millsap a serious candidate?

Just read the report from Tony Jones about Conley returning. This is better than the alternative, but still not sure it's enough. I also was reading Otto Porter and Rudy Gay are leaning toward BKN and Lakers... it's really hard competing with those big market teams when they get all the best bargain bin players and we have no way to outbid them.

We might have one advantage with OPJ. He had a rough year and will probably be looking to improve his stock again.
PT is likely more limited for him in BKN, whereas he would definitely get burn here. Odds are we can pay him more too.

Seems like we’d need to include Clarkson in any package for Smart. Playing time wise it just doesn’t make a lot of sense to have Mitchell, Conley, Clarkson, Smart, Butler, and Hughes.

I like Smart a ton as a player, but we need wangz. I’m not sure what need Smart fills. I liked a Bogey/Smart package as a Conley pivot (for a Don/Smart backcourt) but it sure seems we aren’t going to need to pivot.

I was prolly just hungry

I've never thought Gay would be a great fit, but that OPJ would. I think to keep him away from the Nets, you'd have to overpay, if you even can.
You could also guarantee he'd play more here. I think there's a decent shot.

But if and Gay are the two main targets, ain't gonna lie, that's disappointing.

Shouldn't be disappointing, unless you're thinking trades. Or unless you think someone in the Harkless/Torrey Craig range is better. That's all we can afford to pay, and what we have may not even be enough to entice either one of these two.

If we’re just left with the dregs at the minimum, I’d rather take a flier on an a couple “up-and-comers” playing across the pond on two year contracts with team options on the second year.

I’m pretty cool with signing a guy like Jock Landale with a minimum to be our backup center.

It's too bad we didn't get to see much of Ilya... It would be interesting to see what struggles the team had with him in the lineup. I guess we wont know and I doubt he would want to come back.

He was unemployed before the Jazz picked him up, so I'm not sure he'd be against coming back. Just don't think the Jazz will bring him back.
