Jazz Free Agency Summer of 2018

Also of note — after bringing in Chandler and Bjelly, the Sixers probably have no interest in Jabari.

Poor Jabari. Sign for the QO with the Bucks?
 
After we brought back Thabo, Favors, Neto and Exum, the smart play was keeping Udoh, waiving Jerekbo, and signing Niang to a Royce type deal. Jerekbo nor Niang would play much this year. Better to spend $1.5 on Niang (with future team options) than $4.2 on Jerekbo.

I think we should offer the MLE to Jabari just to see what happens. Maybe send a second rounder for them to not match.

It’s better to negotiate a one year deal over the QO so he can still possibly be traded and his new team can use his Bird Rights next year. I think I read that signing his QO would eliminate both of those things.

I actually think that’s a great idea if he’s all out of options. If they match - cool. Whatever. If they don’t match - cool. Whatever. No risk either way.

I think this is a good move. We already have our roster set so if they match then we carry on as usually. If they don’t match, then awesome. We can trade Burks or waive Jonas.
 
The risk is that Jabari could be miserable sitting behind Favors. Ironically, its too bad Jabari isn't on the same timeline as last year. If he was hurt and could take his time to get better, get integrated to the team culture, etc, it could be a good fit. Instead he wants a 1 year deal to prove himself so he can earn a big deal in the 2019 spendfest.

Even if we could trade Burks to Sacramento for Skal, that would be a good move.

Burks is the biggest wildcard right now. Can we really not trade him? Seems like the only odd man out.

Even if there was a team that would absorb Burks into space for nothing (which there isn't), it honestly doesn't make a difference. We still would be over the cap. All it would allow us to do is keep Udoh and Jonas and still have the Non-Tax MLE.
