Dennis Lindsey: We will be VERY active in free agency

[NUMBERICA]

I don't get what the Hawks are doing with this Horford/Millsap play. Doesn't seem like there's any upside to if it works or if it doesn't.

Unless they get a haul for Millsap, but still Horford/Howard just seems like a bad fit.

 

[Stifle Tower]

It will be interesting to see what happens next. Of the current guys who might be moved:

Ingles - free agent in 2017 restricted
Pleiss - free agent in 2018 restricted
Burke - free agent in 2017 restricted
Chris Johnson - free agent in 2017 unrestricted
Mack - free agent in 2017 unrestricted
Neto - free agent in 2018 - restricted
Withey - free agent in 2017 unrestricted

I think Withey will stay - he played well (when he actually played - mainly when Gobert was injured). CJ is gone. HOPEFULLY we trade Burke and Pleiss. I think we would keep Ingles unless another team was interested. And although Mack outplayed Neto, Neto has a great contract where he's a RFA. It was be surprising if we kept both Mack and Neto but perhaps they would keep Mack around to appease Hayward.

Thanks. I doubt Burke or Johnson will be back. From a basketball standpoint, Jazz can improve over any of those guys on your list. With 3 firsts next year, I'd expect Utah to try to combine a couple to move up. So perhaps 2 new prospects.

This is Pleiss last year as a guaranteed contract. He can be cut next year and only be paid like $80,000.

Think the same thing goes for Neto.

Agree. Millsap seems like a much better fit with Howard since he has an outside game.

They both have outside games, but Horford is a lot less mobile and has had his defensive game fall off a bit. Millsap much more versatile on defense.

With 3 firsts next year, I'd expect Utah to try to combine a couple to move up. So perhaps 2 new prospects. Jazz will likely draft a PG and wing to succeed Hill and Johnson. They'll need some good players on rookie deals by 2018 when all the starters get paid.

Furthermore AND more likely: If this doesn't work, you've pissed off/bummed out arguably your best player.

Rockets going to break the 3 point record

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojVerticalNBA 18s18 seconds ago
Free agent Ryan Anderson plans to sign a four-year, $80M deal with the Houston Rockets, league sources tell @TheVertical.

Interesting, but that's now two deadweight defenders, and no Howard to defend the paint.
