Jazz Offseason Plan

Supposedly the Lakers are completely done when Kuzma. Although I do have some concerns about him, I think he is a buy-low candidate. It's hard to play with LeBron and sometimes guys shine in different environments after playing with LBJ.

Our roster is so incredibly old and we don't have many if any young players Don's age.

There are two ways I would consider it:

Kuzma for Favors and a 2nd

Favors saves LA a few million and is on a shorter deal. He gives them a decent bench big so they can concentrate on issues elsewhere on their roster.

Kuzma, #22 and 2nds for Bojan

I'm not as high on this one, but it could work well for both teams. I think Kuzma could do a lot of the things Bojan does currently. He's cheaper and rebounds better. Maybe we could package #22 and #30 to move up or get a proven player.

I would do your first trade with Favors and Kuzma but there's no way in hell I am gifting Bojan to a rival team for a late 1st rounder.
 
Lakers working on a trade for R Westbrook
Kuzma part of deal
Cross Lakers off trade list
Cross everybody in west off finals list
 
Why isn’t we can’t do a sign and trade with Conley this off-season?

Edit: sorry, saw you answered this in another thread. I’m looking for the limits on this but not seeing it yet. I know the team that receives Conley must be under the apron, but am not seeing anything about the trading team being under.
I think you are right

Kuzma would be interesting at the right price. If you could get him for Favors and a 2nd I'd do it.
 
Jazz need to get younger, longer, more athletic while not losing too much of it's offense. If Philly loses tonight my first call would be them about a deal packaged around Bojan, Clarkson, Favors for Tobias Harris & Mattise Thybulle. Philly gets more shooting surround the inept shooting ability of Simmons while also breaking down Tobias' $35m a year for the next 3 season into more manageable contracts. Jazz lose some of it's offense but improves its defense. While it hurts to lose someone like Clarkson off the bench now could be the best time to potentially cash out on him. Thybulle is a big reason I do this trade. He improves your defense immensely and I fully believe with the right coaching and in the right system he could become a 10-15 ppg player. He's already an all nba defensive player while only average 20 mpg.

Interesting trade. Seems pretty fair and helpful for both teams
 
If we run it back with the same squad, and have basically no money, I want Rudy Gay or Aminu. Those are probably the most realistic possibilities given our cap number.

Something like this will make it interesting. The other thing that will have an impact is new coaches coming in and deciding players on the roster aren't prospects and waiving them or giving them away for pennies on the dollar. The Jazz could have an opportunity to upgrade the dregs of the roster by looking to see who shows up as the victim of the killing fields. There are examples of guys like this that got cut and headed overseas and had solid years. These players would be upgrades over the minivan, Oni and Matty Ice.
