Do you give them a call if you're the FO?

Funny ....Utah has more fantasy threads than any other NBA realgm forum....always fantasizing that the top players will come to Utah.
Jazz best opportunity for getting top players is to follow the blueprint of when they got Carlos Boozer and Mehmet Okur before they blossomed.

Resign Dante Exum (22 yrs old) and go after Mario Hezonja (23 yrs old) and let them grow with Mitchell (21 yrs old and Gobert (25 yrs old)

If LeBron wants to come to Utah, then he’s already cleared some pretty significant hurdles that something like “can’t offer a full max” would be a much less significant hurdle.

Lebron has said he isn't taking less than the max.

This is fantasy ****, but if you can land Lebron, you might consider rolling with Favors at C and trading Gobert.

That's the one scenario I can think of that you entertain the idea of dumping Gobert for Favors. This would also solve the cap issue lickety-split.

Only if Lebron would commit to a multiple year deal, which he wouldn't do.
 
This is actually one time where I don't think its completely out of the realm of possibility that we could land Lebron and PG13. If its ever going to happen this would be the year.

Look at the possible destinations for Lebron and PG13.

Im just going to list where they would play by preference to win. Then scratch off who probably cant afford them.

1. Houston - Lebron and PG would probably both like to play there. But thats probably not going to happen because of cap issues. There would have to be some serious compromises on salary. Thats if they want to keep Capella and Paul.

2. Lakers - I could see both Lebron and PG13 signing here. The Lakers have the best salary situation out of anybody, and they could still get better if they could unload Deng. Probably one of them end up there if not both.

3. New Orleans just because of Anthony Davis. But thats a tricky salary situation.

4. There current teams OKC/ Cleveland. But doubt they want to return.

5. Philly - a definite possibility for one of them to go there.




Thats a very short list of teams for them to go to. So why not Utah after the season we just had and all the hype surrounding Donovan? I dont think it would be all that hard to make cap room. I dont think Burks would be hard to unload.

Narrow those down and its really only out of Philly, Lakers, and Utah. I just cant see Houston finding a way to do it and it being worth going there. Is Chris Paul going to decline his last real chance at that big deal? Are they going to let Capella go? Well, thats less enticing to play there.

My guess is Lebron and PG go to LA. But man, Utah really would be close to getting one of them

Lonzo Ball
PG13
Lebron
Kuzma
Ingram

Thats an interesting squad.
 
What better way to stifle Donovan's future than to bring in an aging superstar?

Like, I don't know a comparison, but what if the Bulls brought in one of the league greats the season after Jordan's rookie season? Does that make any kind of sense?

This is Gobert and Mitchell's team. You bring in talent that compliments them. You DO NOT bring in talent that puts them in the back seat.

These hoes ain't loyal!
 
If Lebron and PG13 go to LA they really could challenge the Warriors because of that length. They would match up great against them and just go with a center less team like the Warriors.

Thats where they go right? It makes the most sense I think.

Haha. Oh brother.

Lebron or PG wouldn't interfere at all with Gobert. And Donovan could easily have the same year he did this year plus more. There are plenty of points to go around for two dominant scorers.

Yes, you most definitely bring them in. You would be an idiot to decline because you think it would hinder the growth of Mitchell. It would actually be great for Mitchell.

I think you're wrong.
 
I don't want a mercenary team. We don't have the building blocks for that. We have a real core now. We've talked about our core for years, but now we have one, a legit one. Something you build on, not something you jam a superstar into and tell it to work. The strength of our team is our team. You don't scrap that for a year or two rental of a superstar that will absolutely and unquestionably demand that our "team" (our strength) take a back seat to their superstar show.

Even thinking of that makes me want to puke. Puke hard.
 
PG is good but overrated. Does he really play all out all the time?

Lebron top 3 all time, but do we change our offense for him? Give the ball to Lebron, and let him run the offense?

It's too tempting to pass up, but there are some big question marks about the reality of them here.
 
Sure, you make the call, to at least try and put Utah on the map somewhat slightly.

Realistically though, you aim for about 4 years from now, when hopefully the warriors are no longer ridiculous, Houston is weaker, and LeBron has declined.

have to hit pretty big in the draft at least 1 more time and it needs to be within this draft or the next, and hopefully significant internal improvement from somebody (Come on Dante!).

That's the road map for a team like the Jazz. Of course you don't stop trying to get a big FA just in case one of the 'stunners' says yes, and that changes the Jazz landscape.
