Jazz are emerging as serious threats to sign Bojan Bogdanovic

[LoPo]

It is smart that the Jazz aren't renouncing him yet. The Jazz have done everything possible thus far to handle the situation the right way. They've allowed his agent to contact other teams before free agency so that they aren't trying to figure everything out last minute. And they are trying to get something done ASAP.

Yep. Hopefully, we can pick up his option and trade him somewhere. That way, he's guaranteed to make $17.7 million this year which is likely more than he would make on the open market. Also, the other team would retain his Bird Rights correct?

Writers have to bee freaking out right now.

Narrative - Free agents don’t value Utah as a landing spot. Draft and develop are the only options.

This year? “Why the **** are all these free agents mentioning Utah as a possible landing spot?”

Turns out having a good team with a chance at contention...is appealing to free agents.

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

Possibly if they do a sign and trade with Rubio as part of a 3 team trade re negotiating the Conley deal. But that feels unlikely to me.

“If the Warriors can add Cousins while still keeping Curry, Thompson, Iggy, Durant and Green. . . it’s all over. They’re unstoppable. Shouldn’t even try to compete. Nobody can beat them.”

Jazzfanz - this time last year.

Quit being whiny children and go compete. The Jazz are a top 4 team in the west AND they’re in the process of getting better this offseason.

Lakers don’t scare me - LeBron, Kawhi and AD are all injury prone lately. Talented, but there’s no sure thing that any of them are healthy at the end of the year.

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

Probably not. Word is the Jazz are going to offer in the neighborhood of $20M/year.

 

[jom2003]

hopefully we'll find out about the outcome of Bojan by the end of today so we can move quickly to other targets if it doesn't work out

 

[charcoalt]

If we get BOGO do we also get one free?

 

[Elizah Huge]

Probably not. Word is the Jazz are going to offer in the neighborhood of $20M/year.

We can’t. Unless we’re waving Niang + Neto and trade Bradley. Most we can offer as of now is 4-years 77.6m.

Agreed. No reason to part on bad terms if Bogie gets locked up.

According to wikipedia he’s already here:

And Ricky is already on the Pacers:

In all of my complaining about the Favors situation, I really hope it’s not lost on people that I know he’s a great dude and very good player. For that reason, it has been and continues to be ******** that we are stringing him along through all of this. Let him go get his payday, let’s shake hands, and go on our ****ing way.

While I get this, Jazz gave him a higher contract last year for just this type of flexibility. Him and his agent knew this was a part of it when they signed the contract. I hope it gets resolved soon too, but don't blame the Jazz for waiting until they are sure.

I just hope he doesn't go to the Lakers. That would suck.

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/
