Jazz are emerging as serious threats to sign Bojan Bogdanovic

[Udidthizz]

Let me guess, U did thizz.

It was not my fault

 

[Coach Ellis]

Is there a path forward to sign Bojan and also retain Favs?

Yes, but it’s complicated, and would require assistance from Indianapolis and Memphis.

Step 1 - work out a sign and trade deal with Indiana for Rubio and Bogdanovic. This should be pretty easy and strait forward - as long as the numbers work.

Step 2 - adjust the deal with Memphis so you don’t have to use cap space to trade for Mike Conley.

Three parts to this - A.) Add Exum to the existing deal. B.) Get Memphis to fully guarantee Korver’s $7.5 million contract. C.) Improve the draft compensation to make it worth their while. Best way would be to give them next year’s pick (without protections) and then leave the current protections on the 2022/23/24 pick the same. Maybe throw in some cash to offset them buying out Korver.

Conley $32.5 million vs. Exum, Crowder, Korver and Allen ~$27.5 million.

Jazz would keep Favors, add Conley, add Bogdanovic and keep the full MLE of $9.2 million and the Burks trade exception of ~$4 million. But it costs them Exum and another draft pick to pull it off.

Conley, Mitchell, O’Neale, Bogdanovic, Jingles, Favors, Gobert, Full MLE free agent, Neto, Niang, Burks trade exception, maybe Bradley, the three rookies.

Any advantages to doing S&T's with Bojan and Bricky?
Assuming Exum is not traded.

i don't think we can according to the rules. we've already cleared Ricky through the Conley trade

They are for sure waving one of Niang or Neto. To get to 80 over 4 years all they have to do is trade Bradley, which shouldn't be hard/

For some reason I’m under the impression they need to waive Neto to make the Conley trade happen.

Nice.

Yeah, all it took for the Raptors to win was season-ending injuries to two of the Warriors' All Stars.

The point is that you don’t quit just because the odds are stacked against you. You put together the best team you can and try to knock them off.

2004 Lakers and 2011 Heat were supposed to win the Finals too but lost to better teams not better players. We are going to be a top-3 team in the league.

If they can pull this off, this is one of the better off-seasons in Jazz history IMO.

Nothing is official until July 6 - there’s still room to maneuver to get over or under the cap - depending on what you’re trying to accomplish.

Sign and trade Rubio works if you’re not using cap space to land Conley. Otherwise, you waive Favors and bring Bogdanovic in using that freed up space as well.

Absolutely. Cultural shift is in full swing.
