Conley Officially a Jazzman

[infection]

That is certifiably horrific.

Keep in mind he did say the #1 guard "off" the bench. Dante doesn't get off the bench, though, so it's not technically correct.

 

[infection]

Gonna have to fix it. Given his injury history and never really proven himself jazz would be crazy to go into season with Exum as first gaurd off the bench.

Tons of guys we can put there. Payton and Caruso, to name a couple.

If only we hadn't wasted 2 more 2nd round picks for 3 months and 30 playoff minutes of Korver...

 

[stitches]

Kevin Love, Jabari Parker, Nikola Mirotic, Jamychal Green, Aminu, Harrison Barnes, Rudy Gay, Bjelica, etc. are all available and attainable if we're willing to move on from Favors. There are only two guys on that list that I'm not sure if they're a better option than him.. and even then it's more of a wash.

None of those will make the FO release/trade Favors. At least I don't think so...

Basically, if all were healthy, this would be our playoff rotation:

Conley
Mitchell
Ingles
Favors
Gobert

Exum
O'Neale
Niang
Bradley
Neto

No doubt that second unit is not up to par and needs some chlorine. Hoping we can try and add a couple solid vets to get ten deep and in a good position for a run.

In my opinion this team will do nothing without some added outside shooting from the bench and the forward/center position.

I love the fact they're actually being aggressive at this point.

 

[Coach Ellis]

They didn't avoid including Favors like the plague to release him. Favors is here to stay. Locke has been celebrating Favors not being included in the deal almost as much as he's celebrating acquiring Conley. We didn't keep Favors to let him go.

Favors isn’t going anywhere. Jazz still need to add more to this team though.

Conley, Mitchell, O’Neale/Jingles, Favors and Gobert is a great starting lineup - but there’s no bench help. They need to fill out the bench now.

The Jazz need to continue to be aggressive this offseason. They have a two year window to contend before it’s time to try something different.

Use some future 2nd round picks and cash to move up in the draft for a player who can help add depth to the bench.

Use the Room Exception and minimum contracts effectively to fill some of the holes that losing Crowder, Korver, Sefalosha and Udoh will create.

Consider additional trades with Bradley and Exum - especially sign and trade possibilities for a free agent or two.

 

[Avery]

If I'm DL, I'm working the phones with PHI or ATL and trying to buy an early second round pick and looking at someone who I might have drafted at 23 to slip. There's no way ATL keeps six picks or PHI keeps five.

 

[yamers]

Need to upgrade ingles and move ingles to a bench role.

Also upgrade the bench, period.

celtics wanted conley?

 

[green]

Why do people want picks this year so bad? The odds of drafting someone who can help are minuscule to none.

We need bench help. The draft won’t give us that.

 

[Eminence]

7 deep now, with guys like Neto/Niang playable at the end of a rotation. Really just need 1 more guy. Hope we can get them on the MLE, but every team hopes that.

Could see buying into the early 2nd from either ATL or PHI (please Grant Williams drop).
