Free Agent targets

Favors Flave

Well-Known Member
Who should the Jazz go after this offseason? Its Bleacher but I thought they threw some reasonable targets for the Jazz. The targets were Tyson Chandler, Arron Afflalo, Jamal Crawford, Shane Battier, JR Smith, Caron Butler, Jason Richardson, Tayshaun Prince and Samuel Dalembert. Of those nine, I would really like Chandler, but he will re sign w/ the Mavs. I also really like Afflalo,Butler,Crawford and Richardson.

My favorite/realistic scenario
-Jazz draft Kanter at 3 and Biyombo at 12.
-Sign Richardson to a 3 year 21 million contract, HAYWARD CAN PLAY 3

PG-Harris,Watson,Hayward
SG-J-Rich, CJ, veteran/3 point shooter
SF-Hayward,Millsap,Evans
PF- Millsap or Favors(Who ever wins the job), Biyombo
C- Big Al,Kanter

Trade Bell/Okur for what ever
 
The only reason I would be OK with KOC drafting both Kanter and Biyombo is if they are somehow able to procreate and the Jazz become the first franchise to sign an unborn fetus to a contract.
 
Man I just want to say KOC has a tough job! I'd really like to see them draft Knight/Singleton and go after Wilson Chandler, while resign Fez. And agreed, trade Bell, Memo for whatever.

Harris, Knight
Hayward, Miles
Chandler, Singleton
Favors, Millsap
Jefferson, Fez

Gonna be tough, he is restriced, but he would be perfect.
 
We really have no idea who the Jazz could even target until the new CBA determines how much the Jazz, or any team, can spend on free agents.

I don't know how tough. Don't they also need to pay Wilson Chandler? They got a lot of good pieces and they can't afford to keep all of them.
 
The Jazz have no cap room to offer any contract except a mid-level exception. Richardson will probably have multiple offers from more championship built teams. Why would he want to play in Utah?

While true in the past. It is not necessarily true going forward. We have no idea if they will be able to sign anybody new.
 
I worked this out earlier, but if the new CBA has the cap around the same number, and Denver let's K-Mart go, they have PLENTY of money to sign everyone they need to sign. Forget about Denver's RFA's. They are staying in Denver.
 
Found it:

Denver's situation:

Under contract:
PG - Felton, Lawson
SG
SF - Gallinari
PF - Harrington
C - Anderson, Mosgov, Koof

Who they need to resign
Nene - his contract puts Denver at around 45 million. That gives them plenty of $$$ for Affalo and Chandler and they have a need for both players. I see NO scenario where they are interested in letting either one walk unless you completely overpaid one (ie 8+ million per year). Both are pipe dreams.

So they let Kenyon Martin and JR Smith walk? And they look pretty weak at the 4 I bet they might be willing to do a sign and trade for Millsap. Chandler for Millsap who says No; Jazz or Denver? It really helps both teams.

Denver will still have Gallenari with enough money to resign Smith/Affalo, while adding a starter at the 4

Utah get a Defensive sf that can knock down the 3 and makes it possible to add Kanter at 3 and Jimmer (hopefully at 12) Seriously this deal makes both teams better.

I definitely wouldn't hate that trade. Denver is in a good spot now, as we will be next year. They have cap room, and tradeable assets. Any team would love to have Affalo, Chandler, Lawson and/or Felton. The point was, if they want to keep Affalo and Chandler, they will do it, and they will definitely match our offer if for nothing else, to try to get a big from us.

That being said, I strongly consider Millsap for Chandler. Wow, that would be awesome.
