Jazz Offseason Plan

[Ineptimusprime]

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.

The reporting that no major moves are likely to happen is hard to reconcile with the reporting that Ryan is going to do everything to make Don happy and get a third contract. Go all in for one more year and then blow it up next year? Huh? How is that gonna help keep Don around?

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.

I remember listening to him on the radio just a few days before free agency started that year and he said that the Jazz did have significant interest in Mirotic...

I don't think Mitchell's 3rd contract will be decided next year. He will still have 3 more years left on his deal after. And like I said, there's not much you can do this year. The big change to save Don will be firing Quin after next year doesnt go well.

The problem is, I’m not sure what choice you have. It has to happen this year or next year. If you have Donovan/Rudy on the roster. You’re going to be a good team. To be quite honest, I still think it’s up in the air whether Donovan actually wants Rudy on the team or believes it’s to his greater benefit, right or wrong. They may know what will please Mitchell, and that may be trading Rudy, and revamping things for him. That will include FO hires. I’m not sure what it looks like exactly, but everyone from Andy to Windhorst seems to say Smith really really really wants to keep him. (We all know my opinion) But Wade and Smith want Mitchell around for a long time.

Also, I agree I don’t think they are mutual ideas, and I think people like Tony are talking out both sides of their mouth on it, but it’s the reporting.

He did change his tune the last few days, but for weeks leading up to it he was bagging on fans for having that idea lol.

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

I expect the coach to go first. Very typical with new FO's.

You have 2 seasons left before it starts getting uncomfortable. The summer of 2023 he will likely be super max eligible, if he doesn’t sign that extension, the Jazz will trade him before the 2023-24 trade deadline.

Quin isn’t going anywhere.

Right. That's not next year and like I'm saying for the third time in a row, there aren't moves available even if you wanted to make moves.

I mean this year, and next summer basically will decide the fate of it, so yes in 365 days it’ll start to be pretty clear where the boat is headed.

The only decision tree I see is if Conley resigns, we trade our pick to dump Favors. If he leaves, then we have the same team without Conley. I'm dying to make some moves, but I'd be kidding myself f I said I actually expected any. I just don't see who is being moved. Name any almost any player, my thought on that player is, "he's not being moved".

You can’t just dump the pick. You have to get some draft talent on the roster. It’s actually vital you hit on this pick if it’s possible. What good exactly are you doing just dumping Favors? Saving money? Who cares.
