I think Tony Bradley will be fine. Just send him through P1. Knock some of the blubber off.

He's a project. Its going to take a few years.

Exum and Bradley are the Core of the Jazz's future.

I just spit diet pepsi out my nose.
 
Bradley doesn’t have anything close to the skill or athleticism to survive today’s nba. His athleticism makes Jokic or Kanter look like a young KG or Amare.

For Bradley his ceiling is something around one of the Collins twins. Not good.

Add another to Lindsey’s ever expanding wasted pick list. .
 
I see nothing wrong with giving Bradley Udoh's role from last year. Udoh played in 51 games playing 6.3mpg. I'm fine with Bradley doing that. Considering we paid Udoh $3.36 million and Bradley is set to make $1.6, seems like we have a few million we can spend elsewhere.

In order to give Udoh's role to Bradley, we'd need another backup center.

Furthermore, the point of this idea is to use the room exception or BAE, which means it wouldn't affect our cap space.

That's exactly what I'm saying.

2018-2019 Center rotation: Gobert, Favors, Udoh, Bradley (TOTAL COST - $45 million)
2019-2020 Center rotation: Gobert, ?, Bradley ($27 so far)

If we waived Favors and re-signed him to $13 million or less, we would actually be spending $5 million less on the center position in 2019-20 than we did last season.

?

That's not a discount. In no universe is paying $13 million for 12 minutes a game a discount. And he's not signing for that.

For the purpose of CAP, you don't have to spend ANY of it in acquiring a backup C. That is literally the point of this thread.

And the thread didn't prove the point. There are plenty of people on this thread who have said that none of the guys presented could replace what Favors provides.

Favors is not the idea PF next to Gobert. HOWEVER, there are opponents which would allow him to play the position. If we played Denver or Portland, he would play more than 20-25 minutes per game. Against Houston and GS, he's not going to stay on the floor as much.

And once again - if we waive Favors and Favors doesn't accept our fair terms ($13 or less), then bye bye Favors. I don't see a team in the league who is going to give him a long term deal making $13+ other than us. Rebuilding Hawks? Why tie up money long term? Dallas? Maybe, but they have bigger targets.

He definitely should have been able to beat Udoh for minutes if he was good enough for us to plan on giving him the full back up spot next season.

The Jazz liked Udoh because of his defense. The Jazz wanted to develop Bradley in the g league. He was never given an opportunity to play minutes in the NBA and it's by design.
