Jazz Offseason Plan

LoPo said:
I guess I'm looking at a lot of these deals as - what do we do if Conley just wants to leave?

If he does, we have to be desperate to find a PG who can defend while also being able to get Rudy good looks. Lonzo and Brogdon fit the bill.

It won't be easy, but we could do it. Maybe we lose #30 in the process. But if we end up with Kuzma and Lonzo instead of Favors and Bojan (because Mike just left), we had a brilliant off-season.

The options where he just up and leaves I think are pretty limited. Basically LA can't do it without our/someone's help. Dallas would need to lose Hardaway or have Richardson opt out... which I think is unlikely. If NY decides Mike is the guy and give him $25M plus you beg them to take a second to create a trade exception for you (I think they'd do it).

I think the best bet is just to pay Mike in the $20M a year range for 3 years... an in-season pivot is easier at that point and you can trade him then if you want to.

Frankly, if we make a move to get to #10, I’m cool with packaging 10 and Gobert to move up to get a stud in the top 6, and rolling the dice with Udoka and maybe Utah State dude in the second round at C.

Did you just say you would be cool with moving the #10 AND Rudy to get in the top 6? The three time DPY and one of the greatest defensive players of all time to move up 4 spots? My ****ing gawd people forget quickly.

Yes. The top six in this draft are that good.

Yes but number #6 could be anything... it could even be a guy who wins a DPOY!
 
Guys, it’s really totally pointless to speculate about this stuff. TJ has already told us we runnin’ it back.

The only way this offseason gets interesting (likely in a bad way) is if Conley bails for nothing.

I wonder what we’d do in that scenario. Honestly, we will definitely be worse next year if Conley bails. But may be better in 3 years if he does bail.

TJ has been wrong before.

He said we weren’t going for Mirotic when we got Bogey . Turns out…..DL went for Mirotic before Bogey lol. I do wonder if Jazz “connections” with local media are a bit different at the moment as well with Smith for the time being.
 
Regardless of the reporting, the Jazz have very little flexibility for any moves. I would personally look to trade Bogey and Clarkson for younger players, but that's probably not going to happen.

There's really not much the Jazz can do. You go all in during the last two years...it was the right decision, but Quin and the players failed miserably to perform. People are willing to tank decades for the chance we had. The reality is that we're going to have to eat some **** on the backend for our golden opportunity.

Judging by everything local and national reporters say, Smith really really really wants a 3rd contract from Mitchell. Every decision made revolves around that want. Do you go all in one more season? Or do you change course right now. The front office stuff will be interesting to see how it shakes out, how much Wades finger prints are on it, etc. Smith isn’t the Millers, and I bet Zanick and others feel a burning pressure right now to make the right moves.

So what’s the endgame? Blow it all the way up next offseason?
