Yea....because the fans are the reason he didn't sign with Utah.

Not the fact he got 5X's more than Utah could pay him.

Pretty sure his deal was $20 million, 2 years. That’s not unreasonable at all.

I don't trust him either but... chances are if you are fielding a min player he won't be much better than Bradley. Like when Gruden asked long-time Colts OC Tom Moore "why don't the back up QBs get more reps in practice?", Moore just told him "If Manning is down we are ****ED... and we don't practice ****ED" ... the point is... if Rudy goes down, we are ****ed either way... a center for the minimum won't change that, IMO...

I don’t think we have to be ****ed. Davis is really solid and he could play 28 minutes. I’m just scared for the other 20 minutes. Basically I want to be able to withstand anything. Green would give us that insurance at the 5 and the 4.
 
I said PF. We have 3 that can for sure play C. Davis, Gobert, and Bradley/Reed. At PF we have one for sure player at that spot Green, a guy who is undersized a bit maybe in Bojan, and a guy who is probably too slow for PF in Davis. I'd love to get one more SF/PF if it's a player on the larger side of the SF position or one more true PF. If it's the SF/PF variety then they would also get a little more depth at the wings which I think they also need in case Donovan is needed at PG for a stretch.

I think that solves most of our minor shortcomings with one player. Then use developmental players for any spot left. Who knows might be another Royce/Mathews out there.
 
There is no security for when one of the pillars of your team goes down. The Jazz will be much worse when Gobert goes down as it has been, even when we had Favors.

@stitches is right. It’s the 4 by a wide margin. I still think the idea of closing with Bojingles is kinda shaky.

I like the idea of closing with that lineup most nights. But worry about them on the floor together for long stretches.

I like the idea of closing with Bojingles. BUT I don't like their chances to survive to the playoffs if we regularly put them against bigger 4s. That's why I liked the Jeff Green signing - just get another body to throw at opposing 4s in the regular season to absorb some of the punishment. This team should be good enough to get to the post season without having to over-rely on our optimal lineup and risk having one or both of the Bojingles brothers getting injured or bruised up before the playoffs.

I generally agree. But I don’t know, it just feels like a soft-spot over the course of a long season.

The Jazz could offer a minimum contract. Either nobody wants Exum, or the Jazz aren't trading him. Either way they didn't have 10M this off season.

Thanks for making my point.

Why couldn’t we have traded useless Exum to free up the necessary money to acquire a useful player like Morris? And if we actually tried everyone and couldn’t get any bites, what does that say about Exum and the idiotic contract we signed him to?
