I like the idea of signing Redd to hopefully a small deal (how much can he really get with his injury history?).

There's actually a few options at SG I really like but I don't see it happening. Thanks to the market Utah plays in, they're never going to build this team through Free Agency. Easily the 2 biggest FA signings in team history are Boozer and Okur and they only came here because 1 was a Euro who doesn't mind the climate and wasn't getting similar offers from anybody else and the other was a liar who was in the middle of swindling a blind man and found Utah as more than willing to help.
KOC really only has 2 ways to build this team: Drafting and Trades. That's why getting something for D-Will was so huge. You just don't reload with FA's after Deron leaves if you're the Utah Jazz. That's why I was such a big fan of the trade. Now we have a decent PG who may consider staying in Utah now that he's already here, a young PF/C who has as much upside as you will ever see and 2 draft picks that have the potential to be Top 5.
The only thing that may change all of this is the Sloan factor. While I think most players in the league respected Sloan, I don't think they were lining up to play for a guy who was the very definition of old school. Now with Corbin, Utah has a younger coach who just happens to be black. I doubt players still line up to come to SLC but it will be interesting to see if it does have an effect in Utah's favor.

This is my ideal off season-
1. Get the number 3 pick and draft D-Will. Wouldn't that be ironic to get another D Will at number 3.
2. Assume we don't make the playoffs, trade the lottery pick for future picks
3. Sign Afflalo to MLE or give Young or Thorton a similar contract, but less money
4. Trade Okur for anything to free up money
5. Re sign Watson for 1 year deal and re sign AK 3 years 18 mil, let Miles go
6. Sign DeAndre Jordan to a 4 year deal 20-25 mil
Harris, Watson, AK
Afflalo, Bell, Hayward
AK, Hayward, D-Will
Big Al, Millsap, Favors,Evans/D-Will
Jordan, Favors,Big Al

There's no way the Jazz trade Okur for nothing. You'd have to include a first round pick to unload Okur, which would be short sighted, in my opinion, to get rid of a draft pick to save one year of Okur.

Was looking at this scenario today. Draft barnes with the 6th pick the grab fredette withnthe 12th pick. Do a trade for Flynn maybe swapping picks in 2012. Pick up the option on miles, resign elson, and bringmover tomic.
Offer a deal similar to Matthews for afflalo.
Harris, Flynn, fredette
Afflalo, miles
Hayward, barnes
Millsap, favors, Evans
Jefferson, okur, tomic, elson
I think that is a pretty darn good team a little weak at sf but I think barnes is the real deal. fredette gets a chance to develope and if he does we dump flynn. Tomic can learn.

That team still is'nt a contender by any stretch of imagination. Just a collection of some nice players. Better than the current team. But that doesnt say much, does it?
Where are the big stars? who is the go to player?
And Fragilenko is still on this team as the starter? FAIL
Harris and Big Al are good but not great players. The Jazz need an all-star or someone close to that at one of the wing positions in order to be a contender. Until they get that they will just barely make the playoffs and get bounced out in the first round. Which they were already doing, anyways

I just want the Jazz to finally get a legit, bonafide SG who is an actual threat to score! Don't care where he comes from, FA, Draft, doesn't matter, just get whoever it is signed up and fitted for a Jazz uniform. Sooner rather than later would be nice too...
