Jazz Offseason Plan

There is also a deal with NY and OKC where Favs goes to NY, Knox goes to OKC, we get Kenrich Williams we throw in the #30 and take back a second from NY or OKC...

If Mike bails I would look at other deals where we take back more salary but for now I'm guessing the savings are what we'd be after.

I mean it represents like 25% of his lifetime basketball earnings... so I'm guessing it still matters. I'm sure he doesn't need it... but not many guys will turn down 25% of their career earnings for a one year effort.

I’ve heard him on many occasions and interviews on the radio that he only has interest in playing for the jazz. I’m guessing if he got traded mid season he’d probably finish the year, but in an off season trade, I think he would just retire and move back to Australia where he would probably be able to continue his bball career. Just listening to him and my opinion of him, I think he’d have zero issues leaving Money on the table in the nba. I also know for a fact he won’t play for anyone but the jazz.

Moving Favs would be the most ideal. At least we could see what Dok has and Favs is the least contributing of the three to the team. He is making 9.72M this year so that would help the luxury tax considerably. We’d basically be running it completely back with Dok in the rotation instead of Favs.

Absolutely on board with Dok replacing Favors. He's underrated here considerably.
 
Moving Bogey or Favs right now would yield us the smallest return. Might as well wait another season when they become summer expiring and trade them midseason 2022/23.

Kuzma

Lakers get a more athletic big who can backup often injured AD. They also get to save a few million this year and down the road on Kuzma's deal.

We get more quality depth that can play during the playoffs.

So we’re gonna wait 3 years before we even try to play our 1st round draft pick from last year?

Bojan would get us something...

The issue is the crazy tax we will pay next year if we keep Mike. So trade Favs for a small return essentially gets you the small return plus the ability to bring back Mike or use the taxpayer MLE.

Favs may get you something different. He's not a bad player... he's not a guy you want to play a ton in the playoffs. He would improve several teams significantly at the center position.

Doke's gonna get moved. No question about it. The moment DL brought in Favs it's basically game over for him.

It would be dumb and vindictive to move Udoka right now. Unless we got a high second rounder I wouldn't do it.

I only want Kuzma if its all we can get for Mike and Mike doesn't want to come back. In this scenario we could trade Bojan but I'd want that return to be pretty good.

i'm at the point where as long as we don't dump any more second round draft picks to get his salary off the book i'm happy. no point of holding onto a guy who has zero chance of cracking the rotation, especially after watching the way Rudy got exposed in the playoffs. I want no continuity from that whatsoever.

Trading both now would probably get us something but probably not something that would improve this team in short terms. I don't want us to make trades that would cause the team to go backwards just for salary reasons as we've seen how that **** went down last year.
