Jazz Free Agency Summer of 2018

I think with Booker it’s if we elect to waive thabo or Jonas... a 1+1 at 3-4 M would be great... if Favs tells us to kick rocks bring him in.

Booker could play in the playoffs... not sure Jonas can.

Trade Burks and Favors for Parker and Delly, then sign Booker.

I think a Parker S&T falls under the BYC provision. If so, a trade gets very complicated. Whatever a player in that category signs for is counted 100% in incoming salary, but only 50% for the team that trades him.

I don't get this at all. I thought he was great until the statistics were shown over and over again about how Gobert took an awful team and made them better when he came back from injury. In other words, we didn't play like we wanted to play with Favors as our 5. I would bet that our defense ran more normally when Udoh was at the 5. Regardless, every single stat said we were amazing with Gobert and awful without him.

We struggled without Gobert during his second injury last season. During Goberts first injury when Favors moved to the 5 we actually played better than we were with both of them early.

But yes when you lose a starter and a really good one your team does not play as well. Favors filled in at the 5 but we also had to have bench players fill in the starting 4 spot and the backup 5 spot.

Even more importantly that was during the hardest stretch of schedule any team had in the NBA during any stretch. When Gobert came back that was our easiest stretch of schedule for the year. That makes a huge difference.
 
I think Booker is a backup plan if we lose Favors. Like it's mentioned so many times before, we are fine with Crowder, Ingles, O'Neale, Jerekbo and even Thabo at the 4. Booker would just provide a little more size. I would expect it to be a 1+1 about the size of Udoh's deal.

Booker shot 24% on his 3's last season. He really CAN'T play alongside anyone the Jazz put in at the 5. I know we love Trevor for the volleyball shot, his hustle and his infamous quote about Enes, but he'd be a very poor way for Lindsey to spend his money. TBH, Jerebko IS a better 4.

Booker is 6'8" btw, I don't know how that is a little more size. Maybe more toughness than the Swedish Swish, but not more size. And Jonas has actually played some backup 5 in his career. If Favors leaves, Jazz need to use their money on a true 5. You can't play Udoh because of his offensive liabilities. I'm not sure how he scored in Europe. He has terrible hands and can't hit anything outside of 5".
