Jazz are emerging as serious threats to sign Bojan Bogdanovic

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.

Mitchell still needs to emerge as something like a 26 or 27-pt scorer in the league, but he'll have the right pieces around him to do it, if we pull this off.

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.

“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.

To be fair if cousins Thompson Klay Draymond and curry were healthy then that first paragraph still holds true

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.

Agreed.
I love favors. His is one of 4 jerseys I have (his is my favorite since it's green).
But for himself and for us, he should go elsewhere. I will always root for him
