Jazz Offseason Plan

[NUMBERICA]

The dream would be to do the Bogey trade and have Duarte fall to 19. That way you're at least getting a pretty safe two-way rotation player in exchange for Bogey.

Virtually every mock I’ve seen has Duarte still on the board around there unless this has dramatically changed in the last week.

Yes, the overwhelming thought now is that he goes 14 to the Warriors or soon after.

Oh he will go either 14th to GS or 17th to Grizzlies (based on the rumors). There is a chance he's there at 19 but I'd say its less than 50%.

That NY trade will create a trade exemption for over 12 million too. Sign Markannen?

Great post.

Bojan for Knox, #19 and #32
- We save $12+ million in salaries

Use #30 or #32 to dump Favors (sucks but saves a ton of money)
- We save $10 million in salaries

Try to flip Knox to a rebuilding team who likes him
- We save $4 million in salaries

Then sign Batum to start at PF (wishful thinking but maybe he takes a little less money since he'll be a starter)
- We add $5.9 in salaries

In a perfect world, we lose Bojan and Favors, but we gain Batum and #19. And overall, we save around $20 million in salaries.

If you put it all into one deal... so Bojan to NY, Knox to OKC, Utah gets 19, 32, and Williams from OKC... then the trade exception gets bigger and could be pretty useful. I hope if we pinch pennis on Bogey we don't give up value to drop Favs too. You'd have an 18.7M trade exception to play around with. You can wait until people see they need a center after FA and make maybe a better move to drop Favs... then you could hunt at the trade deadline with a big trade exception to make any kind of deal work. Most likely it goes unused but you have the ability to make a medium sized deal if something good comes up.

A lot of folks wouldn't want to hear it here... but you could also match a reasonable offer on Niang (under 5M) if you wanted to.

I think DeRozan might be the guy the Lakers swipe... either for MLE or in a sign and trade. I think it is part of the reason they are really trying to move some salary to clear enough room under the apron to use the full MLE or complete a sign and trade.

I’ve long thought that moving Bogey for a pick was the best way to cut salary. Hopefully the Jazz do that instead of dumping 30 to off Favors.

I think the NY deal makes a lot of sense for both parties... they have more space than they can use responsibly. Bojan fits a big need for them. Helps them be more more appealing (maybe slightly) for vet free agents.

It also clears more salary for next year and opens up a lot of maneuvers. If they nailed the follow up moves we could replace his production and add some flexibility and young talent that we desperately need.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Of course if you mess up the follow up moves and the pick sucks then Donovan sits there and says "we traded Bojan for this rookie huh?"

I agree. The Bojan deal, which makes so much sense for NY really, could open the door for a lot of ideas.

Bojan to NY
Knoz to OKC or Cleveland
Picks to Utah

The Knicks are notorious in the past for making bad big money deals. But I do think they are changing their ways. Bojan provides them with much needed shooting and his deal is fair. He fits next to Randle.

There’s a threshold to keep an eye on: what percentage and what volume would a Bogie replacement need to shoot without the offensive system breaking down?

35% on 4 attempts.... is that safe? With Rudy, this **** really matters.

where’s the line?

I’m fine with trading Bogie (even though I slightly prefer a JC trade), but the replacement better defend his *** off, since I think the odds of him being the pickle on offense are super high.

I’d also hope that if we trade Bogie for defensive flexibility, then we finish the job and trade Favors for the same reason. A 4/5 combo is just as important, imo.
