Dennis Lindsey: We will be VERY active in free agency

[NCJazz]

If we want the opposite of Gobert as a backup center Ioannis Bourousis says he wants to play in the NBA. He is kind of like A Sabonis was when he came to the NBA. Can shoot it very well plus score inside. However, defensively he is not what you would call a mobile indvidual. Spurs actually tried to get him to come over a few years ago but turned that down which he says he really regrets.

Andrew Nicholson is kind of intriguing... can play both big positions. Can shoot... never had a good coach. He is also now unrestricted because Orlando did not make his QO.

I like Muscala, but can he share the floor with Lyles? What would it cost to pry him away?

I'm definitely not against bringing back Booker. He may take a 1-year deal in order to prove that his drop off last year was a fluke (and then cash in next offseason).

Just tossing this out there, but what about James McAdoo? I know very little about him, but I like his physical profile as a deep bench guy on our team.

Pretty sure McAdoo couldn't shoot to save his life if memory serves.

A.) I don't see what the facination is about having Hill and Exum play together. Maybe some, but I wouldn't want to count on it.

B.) Love Burks and Hood both, but feel like you can possibly upgrade there. If you can get better from the top down, that's a good place to do it.

C.) There's room for another wing behind Hayward. Jingles is a great bench and glue guy, but he's gotten way too many minutes the past two seasons because of a weak bench, an abundance of youth and injuries.

D.) Favors should not play center until it gets to the playoffs and teams start getting smaller. He's average at C, and above average at PF. Plus, counting on him banging against the top, most physical centers in the league seems to lead to lingering injury issues for him.

All this talk of Dudley is ***********. Jazz fans are more afraid of striking out, than they are of even trying. Reggie White chose Green Bay because of money, Brett Favre and Mike Holmgren. Payton Manning chose Denver because of their defense and John Elway. I don't care how small our market is. . . winning changes EVERTYHING. Golden State would still be a middling playoff team with great shooters if not for Steve Kerr's death lineup and Draymond Green's emergence. Now everyone and their mom is trying to imitate them. The Jazz should sell themselves on their defense, depth and Quin Snyder. They screwed up by not doing this last year and adding cheap free agents like Lin, Casspi and Biyambo.

Great. Don't tell me. Tell the player that won't sign because of depth and talent on the team.

What about Diaw? He already comes off the bench. We have Gobert so there's the French thing. Quin coached in the Spurs system. More importantly, dude is skilled and can play a couple different positions.

Favors isn't above average. He's straight up elite.

 

[Coach Ellis]

Favors isn't above average. He's straight up elite.

You are correct. But he's better at PF than C and him playing the 5 a lot leads to injuries. I'd prefer they stay away from that until the playoffs if they can.

Too redundant to Lyles. I'd rather Lyles get all the mins he can.

So here is the new plan...

We move Mack to NO for Pondexter - They do it because they need cheap rotation players and have too many question marks health wise. We do it because if Pondexter is healthy he's basically the perfect fit for what we need. Combo forward who can also be a 3 and D wing on a smaller contract. If he isn't healthy we play Ingles.

Move Burke to whatever team doesn't get a pg in FA. Get a second or just get him off the books... I don't care that much.

Cut Johnson and sign a couple second round types or undrafted guys with decent potential. Give them the super long Neto 4 year unguaranteed deal.

Use $22M in cap space to renegotiate Favs and Hill. Giving Hill a deal that looks like $19M, $11M, $11M. I think he'd get close to $15M-$18M per year next year so this essentially gives him that.

Favs new deal would look like $22, $23, $17.5, $18.5.

Gets us to the floor... gives our rotation some more upside and diversity. Increases the value of both Favs and Hill if one needs to be moved later. Allows us to comfortably bring back all the main players the next year.

19/11/11 for Hill?????? No thank you. Dude isn't worth that much. 22/23/17.5/18.5 is steep for Favors too. We will already be in a BAAAAAD way going forward if they screw up and pay Hayward the max next year (which they will). On top of that they have to pay Gobert, Exum and Hood in the not so distant future. These contracts wouldn't help. They are front loaded but still way too expensive.

Go read the tea leaves... Prices are going to be crazy the next two years. Hill at 11&11 will be a huge value. Lin will get more than that and Hill is >>>>> Lin.
