2023 NBA Free Agency Thread

Player A is 26 year old Gordon Hayward - which was an All-Star season and the year that Danny Ainge gave him a 4 year, $128 million contract.

Player B is 27 year old Kyle Kuzma coming off his most recent season with Washington. I personally think he should be the Jazz #1 target in free agency this year. Lots of similarities to Hayward when the Celtics went and got him in 2017.

Player C is 28 year old Fred VanVleet a year removed from his All-Star season. I’m not as big a fan of his, due to his size and age, but I can see why others would want him.

Player D is 30 year old Khris Middleton two years ago, which was his most recent All-Star season before his injury riddled season last year.
 
Whoever we sign, I would front load the contract heavily and drastically decrease it each year. That works if we get a player on a supermax and it makes the signee increasingly more valuable in the trade marketplace the later two years even they become average.

I never want to see Hayward or his wife around the Jazz again. Hard pass.

I don’t want him either. I was pointing out how his numbers during his All-Star season, right before DA signed him to a big contract aren’t all that much better than Kuzma or VanVleet. I definitely prefer Kuzma over all of the other options i mentioned.
 
I’m surprised at how much everyone seems to want Kuzma - I don’t really want someone who is going to inhibit Hendricks growth. I don’t want to have a situation like the Knicks, where they still don’t really know how good Toppin is because they’ve had Randle in front of him for his entire career. I’d much rather use our cap space on a vet PG that can teach Keyonte the ropes for a year or two

Actually this is partly why I thought drafting 3 players in this draft was a waste. Maybe the first guy is going to help us, the others very very likely won't. So why not bundle them for better assets later or a trade or whatever. I mean to be fair maybe they tried that, but it sure didn't feel that way. I think if they tried Woj would have at least been saying there was some buzz with the jazz about possible trades, but nope, nothing. So I'm really disappointed in our 2nd and 3rd picks for that reason.

To be fair, I don’t think Woj really deals with the rumors at this point… he’s about breaking news that is imminent. Multiple other national guys (Fischer on draft day, Windhorst on the broadcast) talked about how the Jazz were in discussions to trade one of the picks (Fischer) and trade for a power forward (Windy)
