Jazz Free Agency Summer of 2018

[Ineptimusprime]

Let’s lock up Bjelly and Exum by the close of business today and call it good. Great day to be a Jazz fan.

IMO if Lindsey gets Bjelica and re-signs Exum to a decent deal, he'll have hit this offseason out of the park. With having maintained big time flexibility next offseason he maximized the team for this upcoming season.

If you figure in Dante at 8.5M and Neto at $2M (guessing he only get vet min, but never know)... we can waive Jonas and Epke and still use full MLE and stay a few million under the tax.

This figures in Favs at 18M.

I think Belly at 7M ish gives us a little more play... we can use the Jonas NG as leverage to take a little less than full MLE... not sure who we are even negotiating against at this point... not much money left.

I'm hard on Favors, but I'm okay with this deal. One big year is fine. Good input here.

If we have a healthy Thabo back, better crowder, improved DM, healthy improved Exum, and a better version of Jonas (in Belly) plus whatever Allen gives us... that aint bad at all. Plus, we have fantastic flexibility.

Is Belly really better than Jonas? I haven't seen him play so can't be the judge, but I saw stats showing they are similar players and I also think the board seriously underrates Jonas. I actually think he should've gotten more minutes.

I think we have a legit chance to get Bjelica

Based on my eye test, Bjelly is a better defender and better 3 pt shooter across the board (not just corner threes like Jonas).

Here's why I think Bjelica is better than Jerebko. Jerebko can't do this

BJelly is probably a better passer and I think has more beef to him. But the passing is critical due to the playmaking potential and fit with Utah's offense.

Yes.
