Jazz Free Agency Summer of 2018

If we decline Thabo, let Favors walk, and re-sign Exum before July 6, we would have the ability to make some deals using the space + Burks. We could take $25 million in a deal.

We can't be as opportunistic if we dont have cap space. We would be in the same boat as everybody else who is capped out.

There isn’t a lot of guys I’d want on long deals... Ariza and JJ are like a 1-2 years away from being done... I like Rudy Gay but only on a 1+1 deal.

Not really because most capped teams won’t use the MLE or BAE. We can shop without a huge need. Collecting that value and the differing contract amounts allows you to do in season trades... easier to pull off and where there will be more bargains... if clips suck there is a chance you could get Harris... same with Niko... Magic have buyers remorse on Gordon... porter get moved. Having the depth allows us to facilitate deals and not fit the roster.
 
Good teams are going to feast on these cheap deals. The Warriors, Houston, etc are going to be ridiculously stacked because really good players are going to take a cheap one year deal to chase a title then get paid next summer.

This is our opportunity. Take advantage of the arrogant Lakers

Maybe... I think they’d be better off stretching him... they can get to 67M that way... can sign LBJ and PG... might hamper them going for Kawhi next year. We also don’t have space to just take him... so I’m sure they’d call Atlanta, Sacramento, and Indiana first... maybe Chicago

I’d offer Ball as the sweetener instead of Kuzma.
 
LA would be wiser to trade Deng than stretching him. $7.5 million a year for 5 years is a lot of money. Sure, they would be able to give LBJ his $35 and PG his $30, but like us, but they wouldn't be able to add another full max guy next summer. That money would torture them for years.

Deng....what a horrific contract they signed him to. A reminder you need to be super careful signing players over 30 to big deals. They can turn into albatrosses that haunt and cripple you.
 
I'm telling you guys, if LA gets LBJ and PG, either Kuzma or Ingram is expendable. LeBron wants vets and that team desperately needs depth. They would love to trade Lonzo, but his Dad and his injury issues make him untradedable as a good asset.

Guys like Tobias? Hell no. Lets just run it back with our old team.

Tobias is a really good player and would be a great fit on this team. He would be the stretch 4 the Jazz have been looking for and would easily be our second leading scorer. He's a great 3 point shooter and the spacing he would give us on offense would be huge. I would take him over Favors any day of the week.
