We may not be able to get an elite free agent, but I think it's very possible that we could get someone like Khris Middleton, Tobias Harris, or Niko next offseason.

you really think they'd move the meter ??
I’m reading all these names people are throwing out there and I’m frankly just not interested.
Jazz have the role players they need. Now it’s time to strike. Go after that big name. Sell the pair of Gobert and Mitchell, the player oriented coaching staff, the strong FO commitment to winning, how they watch and care for their players families, the rabid fan base...
Either sign a big name like Paul George or bring back this exact same team (Sign Exum and sign Favors to a 1 year deal). Then try again next year for the next group of big names. It’s time to compete as a true contender.
A Beverly or a Harris won’t push us past the Rockets or Warriors. But a George might.

I think they could, especially Middleton or Harris. They could give us a reliable second scorer to go along with Mitchell. They both shoot around 40 percent from 3 and would give us great spacing on offense. I would definitely rather bring one of them in than sign Favors to a multiyear deal and keep him as our starting 4 for the foreseeable future.

God I wish Favors would agree to be a nicely paid backup center and ‘certain lineups’ guy. I’d give the dude 5 years if if was only $8 million annually. Become a lifer who is modestly paid. Not a bad end for Favors career, he’s smart, won’t go broke, still make millions, and he knows he’d be happy in Utah. Nothing would make me happier than Favors coming along for the championship quest. But that quest would be massively held back if you keep trying to make Favors a 4 and pay him to be a high end starter. $15 million? I mean if no one ends up coming I’d give him that for a year I guess. But I’d want that cap space in 2019. If Favors can get a multi year deal where he sucks up 15% of all the free agency money available in the whole league then he should go for it.
Both otherwise come anchor the defense in Rudy’s bench minutes, be ready if there is an injury, and start working on your bench hype celebrations. We goin places

Those guys are all about the same tier as Favors. I guess its arguable they fit in better because they are better shooters but they also all lack rim protection and rebounding that makes Favors good for us. Niko is probably the only one I would trade Favors for if contracts were all equal. Harris I would have to think more about.
I understand your point of view. I just always prefer the route that gives us the best chance to make the moves that will lead to winning a title. That's the goal. If we re-sign Favors long-term we'll be okay. We'll be very competitive. But we'll probably never get over the hump. We won't ever have the cap space to attract a big fish because once Favors deal expires we'll be paying Donovan big money. We'd be totally reliant on internal develpment and drafting to get us a chip.
I honestly believe that Donovan can recruit a big fish. Players really like him and they are going to want to play with him.
I agree with this. Either get Favors on a good deal or get him on a 1 year deal or 1 and 1 with a team option and over pay him. It would be best if it was a good deal that started higher and went down by as much is allowed each year. I dont know all the rules on that.
