Jazz are emerging as serious threats to sign Bojan Bogdanovic

[gregbroncs]

One thing I feel confident about is if Rudy goes down for some period of time Bradley will step in and probably outperform anything Favs was able to do as a backup.

If Rudy goes down, with Favs we were in trouble. Without Favs we are straight up ****ed. Bradley is not an NBA player. He's too slow and mechanical to ever be. I'm not sure why he is still on the roster.

Jesus I ****ing knew it.

Why are we using that twitter page as a legit source?



They tweeted this yesterday. We don’t even have 20m in cap space. Sounds like they are taking info tweeted from legit sources and guessing what the numbers on deals will be. They have 885 followers, definitely not a trusted source.

No, the Jazz can offer it. You just increase the salary yearly, like most contracts do.

Its not a legit source tho, you are right.

Right but 18M with annual raises of 5% puts us right about at 80M over 4 years.

Well that is good to know. So, essentially the first year has to be 18m. Then it could go up to 19.5m the second year and then 21m, etc?

5% raises is the max.

This kinda comes down to if the Pacers are serious about going hunting in FA. They have about $20 million in available capspace if they renounce everyone besides Bogdanovic, but if they plan on offering anything greater, then they can only sign him with whatever they have remaining.

We gotta hope they land DLo, basically.

Let’s say we’re not comfortable with Bojan at the 4 and Portis sucks/costs too much/shouldn’t be a starter.

What are our options?

Jamychael Green!

We could pick up assets by taking on Ilyasova’s $7 million. Gives us a believable 4 that shoots the 3 and has been a part of several very good defensive teams.

We’re ****ed if Gobert goes down period. We’ve been ****ed every time he goes down, even with Favors.

Believe it or not, this is a GOOD thing as it confirms that Gobert is so god damn ****ing good. Teams are worse when one of their pillars goes down, this idea of there being insurance is half-baked.

And Bradley is straight garbage. He might have a chance to prove me wrong this year, though.

18m, 18.9m, 19.85m, 20.84m puts a 4-year deal around 77.6m so I was right. It’s close to 80m but 4-years 77.6m would be the max we could offer Bojan without making any other moves.

But according to Marc Stein Rubio is a done deal. That means they arent looking to be major players for high cost guys.



The Jazz have to hope the Pacers arent willing to offer much more than the Jazz (because they will almost certainly offer more) and that Bojan prefers Utah.

That or hope the Pacers decide to go with cheaper guys to fill out the roster instead of spending all their cap on Bojan and Rubio.

If Rudy goes down, with Favs we were in trouble. Without Favs we are straight up ****ed.

If we have Conley, Donovan, Ingles, Bojan and Royce healthy, I think we can still beat teams. We are above .500 with those guys above. We are a contender if everybody is healthy.
