2024 NBA Free Agency Thread

His reporting never said PG was interested. It was more that we were trying to make our roster look attractive in an attempt to draw PGs interest.

My dude you don’t put a big offer in on a guy unless you know there is interest… there are ways to signal interest and teams tamper like crazy.
 
As this starts ramping up. . .

Are there any free agents that you would really want the Jazz to pursue?

I’m assuming they do something, but who and at what cost?
 
I don’t think the tone from the Jazz has changed on Lauri…despite the clipped/out of context tweets, the message has been the same.

Having said that, it seems as though the Jazz are striking out on all plans to pair talent with Lauri and have been striking out for years. Their desire to keep Lauri may be the same, but their options for moving forward with him are drying up quickly. Maybe not all the rumors were true, but there’s like 10 guys they were in on and besides John Collins they whiffed.

I still think it is overwhelmingly likely that Lauri does a R+E. But it’s looking more like a tank+Lauri scenario vs a upgrade team+Lauri scenario.
 
Clips: hey Paul I know we’ve been offering 3 years instead of 4 for 6 months but now we are offering still 3 years…

Paul: cool well I will meet with the sixers now who I have had no communication with whatsoever and have no idea if they will offer a four year max.

I agree, kind of. I think the R+E is happening. I think the Jazz will go super young in an effort to maximize their chances at a top player in 2025, but I still think DA will look to pair Lauri with another star player, plus all the young guys currently on the roster. If they don’t pan out, I think he churns it some more, but I think the long-term plan hasn’t changed.

I think there is chatter about it whereas in the past there was none. Lowe and Woj both just mentioning to watch it is meaningful imo. I think it’s like a 10% chance type of thing but I can see scenarios where outside opportunities and scenarios may have some influence.

Naji Marshall is the main one for me.
