Jazz Offseason Plan

I still think the one wild card above any single player is Ryan Smith. What type of owner is he going to be? Is he going to be the type that goes out and make the necessary changes within the organization that probably need to happen or is he just going to sit back and tell the current FO not to go too overboard so he can rake in as much cash as possible.
 
Will someone verify I have this correct? All the Jazz have available this offseason for free agent contracts will be the partial MLE of $6mm up to 3 years (for being in the luxury tax) and then veteran minimum deals, correct? I just want to verify they do get the MLE each year.

Side note. Giving the full MLE to Favors last year was just brutal. Backup Centers in the NBA are a dime a dozen. Ol' DL used the valuable resources the Jazz had last offseason (the full MLE & the draft pick) on backup Centers. Yowza.

Every transaction the team has made from the last offseason until now has been GM malpractice.

My hope for a bright Jazz future will be basically gone if DL and co aren’t shown the door. We need a new vision.

You forgot the seconds he used to clear salary of some ****** backups centers he drafted and signed in previous years.

Yes taxpayer MLE is all we have but... if we bring back Mike we are deep in the tax... deep deep deep in the tax. So I doubt we use it unless someone crazy good decides to take that money... it would only happen to a glamour market.
 
Go back in time and slap the **** out of DL and Zanik on draft day. Tell them their ‘model’ is absolute trash and trust what your eyes tell you.

Don’t get fleeced by the ****ing Knicks. Make the super obvious draft pick (Bane) that a bunch of message board schmucks know is the right move (Lyles/Booker 2.0).

Remind them that when the trade deadline comes around that if a guy is unplayable in the regular season, it’s safe to assume he also will be useless in the postseason, and maybe look elsewhere.

Unfortunately, this was the year. Maybe next season we get more healthy, or things break our way a bit. But this year was about as close as the Jazz can get to the stars aligning. It’s a bummer.
 
I say trade Rudy and build around Donovan. Rudy has been exposed and small ball is now the way to go. If Rudy could stop creating and causing so many turnovers, we would've won this series by now. But he is just so inept offensively that he hurts the team and stops momentum. The question is what can we get for Rudy.
