Jazz Offseason Plan

Jazzbot said:
Yeah, when he said it I didn't hear exactly what he said, he did say "don't worry y'all" Not much. Plenty to be determined, I think it'll probably mostly depend on what the Jazz want to pay tax wise, because re-signing him is a huge bill.

I’m feeling less understanding with Ryan not paying up. Listened to a pod about the Clippers $700M tax loss… i didn’t know they got to write off the purchase price over 15 years which creates a huge no -cash “expense”. I figured most teams operated at a loss of tens of millions which saves a bundle in tax… didn’t realize it was hundreds of millions.

So I’m joining the group that says… Ryan cut the damn checks… the tax savings you are already getting for amortizing an appreciating asset are already subsidizing this ****. It would be like if we got to write off real estate purchase prices over time because the utility is being used up… even though it actually increases in value over time. The game is rigged.

Do you have a Twitter you could post all this stuff to? It might help us consolidate it so we don’t miss anything important, then we can not post this here because we don’t want JFC making ad money off all your hard work that should be recognized in Twitter likes and follows.

There's a reason why sports franchises of all kinds are selling like hot cakes. Steve Ballmer is paying a smaller percentage on his income than I did when I got my first job as a teenager. The ironic part about paying luxury tax is that it will continue to allow owners to avoid real taxes.

I agree 100%.

I could be okay with a Bojan trade if we bring everybody back. He just makes the most sense. Clarkson is on a fair contract, has a defined role and plays that role really well. Bojan is becoming more and more of a one trick pony. I would argue we need defense, rebounding and athleticism over his shooting.

I don’t disagree. The catch 22 is that we may very well also lose Conley which means we’d be losing about 35 points a game, and have a really shaky offense next year ala three years ago.

This is definitely something to keep in mind. When we had Rubio, Crowder and Favors (the first time) we were great defensively but just didn't have enough offense to compete in the playoffs. Now we've sort of overcompensated and have a great offense but not enough defense. What we need to do now is add defense without sacrificing too much offense. We already have two below average offensive players in our starting lineup in Rudy and Royce, so we need to be really careful when we start talking about replacing someone like Bogey with a defender. If we lose too much offense we'll be right back in the same position we were 3 years ago. Finding a two way wing would obviously be ideal but those are very hard to come by.

If it’s evident Conley isn’t interested in returning, I wonder if the Hornets would be interested in Rozier for Bogey. Rozier scored 20 a game last year, can shoot the 3, defend, pass, rebound. He’s well-rounded and significantly younger than Bogey and Mike. He’d help replace much of the scoring we lose, the rest of which could maybe be replaced by signing Batum or Gay. Then sign Caruso on some super cheap deal.

Rozier-Caruso
Mitchell-Clarkson
O’Neale-Ingles
Batum
Gobert-Udoka

That’s nine plus our 1st rounder, etc.
