Jazz Offseason Plan

Probably. That’s what the Jazz do — overpay for players that no one else wants. I doubt Niang has any other suitors.

In other summers yes... this summer no. Since the tax is here in a big way I expect we play hardball with Niang... Mike has us over a barrel though. So I’m guessing it’s either like a 3/60M or he walks to ring chase.
 
I wish we could bring prime Jerry Sloan onto our team. JS on this team and we would kill it.
 
Go back in time and not sell the farm trading for Conley? Trading young players and draft picks for an aging veteran was a bad move.
 
Alright... here’s what I’d try to do.

Sign Rudy Gay with full mini-MLE 3/18
If that doesn’t happen then give Batum the same offer. My worry is his motivation seems to waiver a bit. One of those guys needs to replace Bogey...

Trade Bogey to Dallas for Kleber. Saves 9M and now we can play 5 out when we need to... if that doesn’t work then...

Trade Bogey to Charlotte in a three team deal... hayward to Indy... Turner and Bojan to Charlotte... we get Washington (my preference) or Bridges and take Lamb in the deal. Saves us a few million in salary and helps us play 5 out. I think I prefer this deal to the Dallas one. Lamb is perpetually injured but a good player if he can stay healthy and he is expiring.

Then you see what you can do with Favs... can you get a smaller deal in... can you get a different player type? Saving a few million would really help with the tax.

We have to keep Mike to have any hope so cut salaries around the edges. I think we lose some shooting with Bojan but get better basketball players and can move to 5 out lineups when need be.

Sucks we have to bench our highest paid player at points in the playoffs but there are scenarios where we just have to do it.

Probably isnt fair, but Rudy Gay in Utah gives me big Jeff Green in Utah vibes.

Me too a bit but he’s been good in San Antonio... he also rebounds and is still getting blocks and steals. I think he’s in the same mold and had some disappointing stops in his career but is overall a much better player.

Yeah, but I think SA's offense is a natural fit with him. I just think he's too old to give a 3 year deal at that price. I'd rather do a higher 2 year deal if signing him was a guarantee.
