2021 Free Agency

After reading the Tony Jones article on Favs I am absolutely friggin convinced we could have gotten Favs for like 2-3M less per year. Sounds like he really wanted to be here and that the whole year in NO he was looking forward to coming back. We offer 3/21 after how he was talking… no way he turns it down. If we get him at that number we duck the tax last year and his contract is maybe low enough to stomach it this year. I’m not sure we negotiated at all… I think we had an opportunity to get a hometown discount for once… and passed it by.

The Jazz parting ways with him the first time sounds like a DL screwup plain and simple. DL kept saying "we need to find a sniper." They flirted with a guy that went to Spain and we ended up with Bogey but in doing so had to Move Favs, not resign Neto and then things really turned weird with the Davis, Green, NWG, Howard and Kidd signings. It seems if you needed a sniper go sign the top three point shooter in the GLeague, Australia or wherever or draft him.

Sounds like Lowry is headed to Miami once conversations “allowed” per Woj. They exercised Dragic option for next year to use in the trade. Can’t wait until he is bought out and joins one of the LA teams.

Dinwiddie sounds headed to Washington in a sign and trade.

I’m a little worried NO overpays you get in the Conley game and we end up with a Deandre Jordan situation.

Boston seems to know Fournier is headed out (prolly to NY).

Detroit is up to something… planning another Jerami Grant type signing that makes everyone say “WTF he went to Detroit”.

Speaking of Detroit… Josh Jackson is not a Jazz DNA guy but he’s improved and is a guy worth taking a shot on. He’s a big time competitor and a big time ***… we need an *** but is he like Cousins or more towards the Jae side of the spectrum. He’s owed like 5M this year and if they want a smidge more space he’d fit in the trade exception, a great option imo if we miss on our MLE targets. I think he could do quite well with some actual guards and a center like Rudy. The off court stuff may have just been a kid making dumb mistakes… or he might not be a pro… he’s not been my cup of tea but IDK.

The Jazz went after Portis before and he's not your every day "Jazz DNA guy" either. And in all fairness, we really should've signed him. He was solid for the Bucks in their championship run.

I don't get the "Jazz DNA guy". Every single sports franchise seems to think they have have special DNA. What's the "Jazz DNA"? A franchise that has never won an championship and generally blows in the playoffs? If so, sign me up for some non Jazz DNA guys.

Jackson had some pretty bad ****… Portis got pissed at a teammate and broke his face. I’m 90% certain there was a racial slur thrown out because none of Niko’s teammates really backed him.

Just google some of the jackson stuff in Phoenix… he seems to have strained himself out… maybe.

I agree… I use the term tongue in cheek… we are generally really conservative when it comes to taking on guys that have had checkered pasts.
 
Whatever our moves are I hope we combine it with grabbing Darius Miller on a minimum deal. Shooter with good size and passable defender. No idea why he didn’t get picked up last year after the thunder released him. He would have been an upgrade in the Oni spot and may have been able to hit some shots when Niang went cold.

Miller also had his best year by a lot (doubled his career PER previous to last year) on a putrid team. It's worth a look at the minimum, but he had an outlier last year and that should be kept in mind (he ain't gonna shoot .685 TS%, not that he has to... but that would be crazy sick).

Career 38% 3 pt shooter on good volume… he was coming back from Achilles but is a great value play now.
