Jazz Roster (Updated for Collins Trade)

Think I’m out on big free agents and fully trying to compete. I want a developmental year. I want Hendricks starting with Lauri and Kessler day one. Keyonte regularly getting heavy PG minutes. Clarkson, KO, and others should be on the block.

Would be awesome to exceed expectations again. It would mean Hendricks and George are legit early. And if not, we can probably keep our pick.

Just like we should have done last year. Play the youth and let the chips fall. If we are great then fantastic. If we suck. Then cool.

Can't believe we didn't do that last season from day 1.

The weird thing for me is with the draft i don't know how strong we"ll really be able to push for competing next season.

Don't hate any of our picks, but George and Brice look more like a season or two of development before being real contributors (maybe before If other guys moving away between THT, Sexton and Clarkson). Don't hate a longer course for a rebuild (even If It looks like we better don't fool around keeping Markkanen), but for all the talk around wanting to convey the 24 pick to OKC, our current group sure is missing out reliable playmaking really bad.

Whoever we target (and those we actually land) at free agency gonna be key at clearing that.

Trades too
 
The roster is a little wonky right now... even if JC is let go i think we have a weird fit thing with George/Sexton off the bench. I'd imagine Dunn or THT might match with George off the bench.

Maybe George doesn't play much this season. I'm just curious what the next move is for us. George theoretically causes some fit issues but I guess we worry about that if he is good?

Feels like we may need some sort of consolidation deal, which is why I pitched Murray... Dunn, LA pick, Cleveland pick for Murray? I'd want to know if he would extend before doing it. Hawks may find a better way out of the jam. I also wonder how cheap Morris or Jones would be with the Wizards. Wouldn't be giving up a first there.... hmmm... the next move is kind of a tough one to nail.

Pretty sure they've said they drafted him fully intending him to be a PG. Whether or not that happens is a different story. But think they'll give him the chance.

they did? ok well I guess I am clueless about what they are thinking now. I mean if they were going to draft a pg JHS was right there for the taking.
Keonte can be our pg I guess just like Sexton can if he has to. But neither are floor generals in the traditional sense and both are probably best as score first microwaves imo
I think if they can play together it might be an interesting offense anyway
 
Not sure if GS does this, but if I was the Jazz I would offer KO and a future first for Kuminga. I think KO fits great for them and Kuminga is a high risk high reward gamble that could have a Lauri type breakout. I am higher on him than wasting cap space on Kuzma.

I feel like KO for Kuminga and the bad contract of Payton would work. KO would fit perfectly with GS. KO feels like a very Dunleavy kind of guy.

Think they will want a bunch more for Kuminga.
 
I believe (very strongly) in the theory of team building from the top down. Get the best players you can and let others get pushed down the rotation.

I know everyone’s rankings are going to be different, but I base mine on athletic ability, talent and skill level and readiness to contribute.

01 - SF/PF: Lauri Markkanen
02 - C: Walker Kessler

03 - SG: Jordan Clarkson (if he returns)
04 - PG/SG: Collin Sexton
05 - SG: Ochai Agbaji
06 - PF: Taylor Hendricks
07 - PG/SG: Keyonte George

08 - PG: THT
09 - PF: John Collins
10 - PF/C: Kelly Olynyk
11 - SG/SF: Brice Sensabaugh

12 - SF: Simone Fontecchio
13 - C: Damian Jones (possible trade)
14 - PF: Luka Samanic (50/50 - maybe 2-way)
15 - C: Vernon Carey, Jr. (likely cut)

I want the Jazz to prioritize a free agent that will fit into Tier 2 and push other guys down. I also would like that guy to be close to Lauri’s age so the time frame works well.

My free agent list is small and strategic. I want guys that can come in and contribute, but won’t be hard to trade if I have to move them down the line.

Kyle Kuzma checks off a lot of boxes for me and would fit this team really well. I think he’s obtainable and would be a great fit on this team. I’d offer him a descending contract and then try to extend Clarkson as well.

It will cost us an unprotected KO and THT imo. Kuminga doesn't fit the timeline in GSW at all, and wants more usage. We might not be the best spot for him now either after drafting Hendricks so.
I think it might be smarter to go all in on Grant WIlliams as the reserve big and if nothing else force Boston to overpay him. I am sure they would love having KO back as well in a s/t
