Danny Green?

green will not be a spur next season. they want LMA and have to resign Leonard. green would do best to let teams bid on the big players and he will be a consultation prize and get more then he deserves. I like him but with 4 wings that is a lot.

None of our wings can shoot and defend like Danny Green though. Having been in the San Antonio system further increases DL's likeliness to try and sign him.
Danny Green was the 4th best SG in the league by RPM the last two years.

They can fit him in for limit minutes his first year and have him learn the plays. Then Booker moves on next year and Lyles role increases. Jazz can afford to take Lyles slow. Not like the previous two years when the Jazz needed to do a little trial by fire.

The kid needs more than garbage mins. I guess they could send him to Idaho but that would be short term anyway. If Pleiss did come over than he splits 15mins behind Favors with Booker? I don't buy it. If Lyles covers that 15 mins it isn't exactly trial by fire.

I'm saying the Jazz don't need to rely as heavily on Lyles as they did on players like Ingles, Hood, Burke and Exum. 10-15 minuets a game for Lyles is ok this one first year. I'd take most those minutes from Booker tbh.

Could Lyles log a few minutes at the 3?

Only thing I could see is Lyles supplanting Booker as the season progresses.

So we are in perfect agreement then?

I think I'm ok with a few minutes less per game than you but no big difference. Especially if they give Lyle 5-10 mpg at the 3.

Can he play the 3 in the NBA?
 
We don't need Green nor need to overpay him. Let's go with what we got. I think people are discounting Burks and what he might bring this year, as well as the improvement of Hood, and we have Ingles and Millsap as the role players. We have two stellar players at shooting guard, who are likely to make great improvement in the next couple of years.

I'm starting to think that the Jazz bring over Pliess, match on Ingles and bring back Cotton and Millsap and call it.

Gobert/Pliess
Favors/Booker/Lyles
Hayward/Ingles
Burks/Hood/Millsap
Exum/Burke/Hanlan/Cotton

14 players. And pretty good actually. In reality they are adding Lyles, Hanlan, Pliess and Burks to last seasons group. That's pretty good. It'll allow the Jazz to push for the 7th or 8th seed this season and get some experience. Then try and grab a big FA next year when they start making a serious playoff push.

I agree. The 15th spot can then be used as a "wild card" to keep the best player from guys like Jerrett, Cooley, etc. I'm also intrigued by Wes Saunders. He could be a guy to keep and assign to Idaho.

Of course, any trade that strengthens Utah by adding a quality player AND shipping out Burke would be welcome. Yes, we're young, but that depth is pretty amazing!

If they bring over Pleiss when does their new rook play? How does he develop? I don't see us bringing over Pleiss and keeping Booker.

He doesn't play.
And that's ok. He probably isn't ready.
We are going for the playoffs, no need to play everyone on the roster

Or how about this? If lyles does well enough in practice then he will earn his time on the court at a different players (Booker) expense.
 
I wouldn't mind Green and we really need shooting. If we picked him up, though, we would need to move Burks. I'm not certain we could, however. It seems that a handful of people here believe we can pick up another wing and still have plenty of time for Burks, Hood and Hayward to all get minutes -- that ain't happening and we'd need to condense our talents.
