What's new

Guess the remaining roster moves

I would rather say what I want to happen....

Trade AK to New Jersey or New York for a trade exception and a 2nd round pick.
Match Matthews Contract
Sign Matt Barnes
Sign Jeremy Evans for the year
Sign Shannon Brown
Resign Fesenko
Sign Louis Amundson

D-Will - Brown - Price
Matthews - Barnes - Hayward
Miles - Barnes - Hayward
Millsap - Amundson - Evans
Jefferson - Okur - Fesenko

I would love for this to happen...... will it? Probably not, but It would be amazing if it did. AK is great but moving him is better.
 
-Matthews is not matched.
-Brewer is signed
-Fesenko is signed
-Gaines makes roster
-Evans makes roster
-Jeffers sticks due to his defense, barely beating out Gardner

Not too original, but Sloan likes to reward players who have "paid their dues." That's why I give an edge to Gaines and Jeffers. And Evans showed some hops in the OSL. He's too good an athlete to not just keep around as the 13th man and see if he can gain some weight.

^^^ and maybe a Collins brother or 2 if Memo's recovery runs into any snags
 
Interesting stuff from D news again:

"Los Angeles Lakers free agent guard Shannon Brown, in whom the Jazz have shown serious interest, and Roger Mason, the ex-San Antonio Spurs swingman.
Like Brewer, Brown also is a possibility for Chicago if Orlando matches on Redick. Also on the market: Matt Barnes (last with Orlando), Eddie House (New York), Rasual Butler (Los Angeles Clippers) and Ime Udoka (Sacramento). "

Jazz have serious interest in Brew crew and Brown and finally barnes name is mentioned. Get 2/3 of these guys and Amundson or Tolliver and we are contenders IMO
 
mostly a dream scenario but hell it's not being a fan without wishful thinking. Right?

Sign Mike Miller to MLE or just over using TPE.
Resign Fessenko
Sign Sign Brown from the Lakers
Have 2 of Augustine, Gaines and Evans make the roster. Whomever earns it in camp. Call it an off-season.
 
The Jazz will sign Fesenko and expect him to continue to make strides. Trading Koufos gives Fess the back-up job.

The Jazz will think hard about matching Matthews if they think he is an asset worth keeping and trading in the future. A SG who is young, plays hard and plays both sides of the ball has value in the league. Roger Mason isn't a substitute. They'll simultaneously explore a few trades for other players in the league they like, hoping to make one rather than swallowing Matthews' luxury tax hit.

The Jazz can sign Matthews and look to move either AK or Okur during the season if the right deal presents itself. Gordon Hayward isn't ready to start at SG and should really pick up Korver's 20 mins. per game.

This inverted approach of trading players for picks and trade exceptions, and then using those assets to get players for teams that are restructuring, is a good idea for a small-market team like the Jazz that needs proven talent in order to improve the roster.
 
We match Matthews. We then trade AK and Matthews to NOLA for Chris Paul. Chris Paul plays PG Dwill at the sg. F U Portland. :P

Okay for realz

Trade AK
S&T for Al Harrington
Sign Shannon brown
Match Matthews
Sign Fes
Sign Evans
Sign Brewer.

lol.

Okay for real for real

Sign Fes
Sign Brewer
Sign Brown
Sign Evans
Sign Jeffers
 
I agree that backup PG is an overlooked spot. We need to definitely get better there.

I see the biggest remaining needs as

1. 4th wing, who can shoot a bit and defend
2. backup PG
3. 3rd string center.
 
Sign Ronnie Brewer (part of MLE), Jarron Collins (veteran minimum or biannual exception), and Shannon Brown (part of the MLE)
