Jazz Offseason Plan

Would Bogey, #30 and 2023 1st be enough for Wood? I don’t see any reason the Rox do that…but…

I mean, I dont think anyone thought George Hll would ball out so hard in the first 15 games or so to the point where he got super contract greedy.

Then it was the whole weird thing were he fired his agent and hired some random person who had no NBA clients.

I would plan on moves being successful... wouldn't you? They ended up negotiating late and being really far apart... that doesn't happen if you do your damn homework.

Just like I wouldn't sign a backup center to a full MLE deal if I thought I was going to need to retain my starting point guard... like believe in your plan and execute it rather than letting it play out. If we had not signed Favs to a multi year deal or at least avoided the luxury tax (and starting the repeater tax clock) then it becomes A LOT easier to retain Mike. This is the sloppy work DL has done on the details consistently throughout his tenure.

So in your proposal, we re-sign Conley.

We either keep Conley and play him next to Lillard or there is a trade out there that makes the team better by trading him.

That is a ton of assumptions and we would be trading Donovan for what reason exactly?

Because Damian Lillard is a better player and your contending window is the same regardless of which of them you have. Reality is written in the contracts, the rumors, etc. with what happens with Donovan in the next few years. I’d much rather have the better player, and it’s Damian Lillard over the next few years.

This interview with Tony essentially says as much, he actually says there’s only a 1 year window with this team, and if you want to think Donovan makes you have a better shot the next 2-3 years than Dame, well, you’re just wrong

Dude, he fired his agent mid-season. I dont know what you want Utah to do. GH was being insanely unreasonable. I get making the FO accountable, but the GH situation just isnt one of the ones I would be upset about.

That's fine to be unreasonable... then you use your excess cap space in some other meaningful way and table the discussions... we waited... and waited and did nothing. I'm sure Hill would like to have that one back too.

I ain't mad... it was a little bit of a dodged bullet. Its an example of his ****** planning. He wouldn't make a decision until the clock was at 11:59 cuz he wanted "all the data" the problem is by that time your data is ****... because your options become limited.
 
Listening to Tony Jones on Checkett's show, he said the Jazz basically have a one year window to win a championship. He thinks this roster has one more chance at a championship, say's this is such an expensive roster that is aging and if we go out in the second round again or even in the western conference finals there are major parts of the roster going to be broken up next offseason and the Jazz would likely take a significant step back the following season. He thinks they will try to add a couple of wings and a small ball center.

Essentially, there’s zero chance Donovan’s staying. So why not just throw every chip in and upgrade to Dame.
