Jazz have a lot of options to get some decent-solid players going forward. Here are some of the names
PG- Re Sign Watson, let Price walk and pick up a 3rd PG if needed

SG- Jason Richardson, Jamal Crawford, Aaron Afflalo, Wilson Chandler, Shannon Brown, Mike Dunleavy, Nick Young, Marcus Thorton, Michael Redd.

SF- Caron Butler, Thaddeus Young, James Jones, Tayshaun Prince, Rasual Butler, Shane Battier, Kelenna Azibuke, Reggie Williams and of course AK

PF- Probably don't need 1 but there are a couple for back ups, Big Baby, Jeff Green, Carl Landry, Troy Murphy

C- Might need a back up or could move Big Al to PF and Millsap to the bench- Nene, Tyson Chandler, Kendrick Perkins, DeAndre Jordan, Ryan Hollins, Alexis Ajinca, Theo Ratliff, Nazr Mohammed

Say Fes, Elson, Miles, Price are gone, what 4 guys would you add? I'd take Afflalo for SG, Butler for SF, Jeff Green for PF and Jordan for C. I think AK will be resigned anyway so he doesn't count
 
Look at my salary thread for realism on what the Jazz can do.

Jazz control 10 players. 7 are on guaranteed contracts. Miles has a team option. Evans has a non-guaranteed contract, which I believe basically ends up being a team option. The Nets' pick is the tenth player. Jazz can be guaranteed an eleventh player if they finish low enough to retain their own draft pick. That would be eleven. AK could be the twelfth man. I'd wager the thirteen man minimum will be retained in the new CBA. I will bet Miles will be retained. 3.7 mil is pretty cheap.

So, there's really not much the Jazz will do. Roster as I see it to start the year.

PG: Harris, ?, ?
SG: Bell, Hayward
SF: AK?, Miles
PF: Millsap, Favors, Evans
C: Jefferson, Okur

Add Nets' draft pick, Watson, and a third PG, and that's thirteen players.

I don't see the Jazz doing much either. AK will be resigned unless another team offers him something crazy. Miles is not good but he is cheap, so will be kept. Richardson, Affalo, and Thorton would nice options at shooting guard, but we would be outbid badly.

Afflalo is restricted, too, I believe.
 
Now that you bring up the situation, I think it would be better to trade our second lottery pick for future picks.
#1 reason- Draft class is weak
#2- Cheap decent options on the market to add a player
 
I wish we can somehow trade Okur for anything in the offseason like the Clippers did with Marcus camby awhile back. I'd really like to see the Jazz get DeAndre Jordan as a back up C. Imagine DeAndre and Favors in at the same time, the defense would be insane

And the offense insane to watch.

So how much money were you planing on spending for these players. If I'm wrong say so but I think the Jazz are over the cap for next year.
