Cheap Roster Moves Jazz Should Make

I'm also wondering right now if NAW can be turned in to a pnr ball handler/spot up shooter. With a full summer to work with him, and a refined focus, I'm wondering what could be done. He seems like a really hard worker. I thought he showed some flashes of potential when he wasn't relied on to be the primary scoring option.

I would say he has a 10% chance of being playable next season.

Yeah, I'm not much higher, but these are the thoughts going through my head a far as moving forward with mostly the same group and trying to see some improvement. Basically it's very unlikely.

How about current GLeague guys that were first round picks or five of the Stars that averaged in double figures scoring there?

Lmao, "Hey Shai I know living in Oklahoma is awful and we are actively wasting a lot of your best years by being a trash team, but hey, here is your cousin to play with"

I'd give up NAW for any of those guys.

Hell no! NAW is a keeper with Snyder hopefully being let go.

Regardless of what the Jazz do with the main parts of their roster, they won't have any money to sign anyone of note. They will have to make smart moves to identify dudes who teams arent high on, but can make an impact for the Jazz.
*Some of these things might be unrealistic, I'm bad at cap stuff and knowing what we can do exactly*

The moves should be the following:

1. Sign Yuta Watanabe.

• Dude is 6'8 and can move laterally. His offense may not be very good, but he can shoot. There's potential there for him to be a solid end of rotation player. He's a dude who could really elevate the Jazz's ability to guard on the perimeter with his length.

Seems like Yuta signed with the Nets. At least there were tweets the other day where the team claimed they signed him.

Yup, Nets going to be an elite team next year if KD/Kyrie/Ben keep it together. Really like their roster.

I noticed the Blazers waived and stretched a player today. Is that something contemplated with Gay?

They have a monster roster crunch. I actually think you could get him for cash considerations or a 2028 second. Currently they have 3 firsts plus their own second this year which is #34. Say they consolidate one of those picks or do a draft and stash... they are bringing on 2-3 rookies on the low end... up to 4. They have 15 guys with contracts currently. They cut 2-3 of Vit, Ty Jerome, Theo, or Roby. Maybe they finally do a 2 or 3 for one trade with Williams, Muscala. Favs won't be cut until after the trade deadline... maybe he is moved and they waive the incoming player.

I think there is a chance Roby doesn't get picked up as they might prefer Hoard and they have a few incoming prospects.

Kind of crazy how the Jazz and OKC own 20% of next year's first round picks between them with the possibility of taking that to a little over 26% should the Knicks trade happen.

No. Just take the hit while you’re down. It would be better to basically bench him and then work out a buyout after the trade deadline that gets us off some of his salary next year. No point in stretching anyones salary right now.
