Jazz sign Bojan

[FalseFlagg K]

I wonder what his reasons were for not staying in Indy which seemed a good situation ???

Jazz have 10 guys under contract

Conley - Exum
Mitchell - O’Neale
Bogdanovic - Jingles
Niang
Gobert - Davis - Bradley

Plus 3 rookies competing for a roster spot or a 2 way contract. (JWF - Oni - Brantley)

Theoretically, they have 3/4 roster spots available and a HUGE hole at PF. Hopefully one of the guys still left (JaMychal Green) will see the opportunity to play their way into a big deal next year and round things out nicely.

we are legit championship contender if we have JaMychal Green, who embodies everything this roster currently needs at the PF spot. One of the seven players in the entire league last year who can shoot more than 35% from 3 on over 1 made each game, while having a more than 15% rebounding rate. but unfortunately i don't think he'll sign at the vet minimum. at this point the best min vet options we can hope for are probably Marcus Morris and RHJ.

Some people speculate Sefalosha might come back for the minimum, fwiw.

I still have my doubts about them playing together. Kawhi and Davis struggle to stay healthy and LeBron was injured last year for the first time in his career. Then they have to fill out the rest of their roster with 9 minimum players.

Coney Island is dead on like one of his hotdogs! Even if they all do stay healthy, (which is a long shot!) they are going to have to fill out there roster with "AND 1" players at best! Lebron is getting older every day, his outside shot is starting to fail, Kawhi is certainly way over due for an injury, and Davis can be handled or neutralize by Rudy!

we simply outbid Indy. it was a BIG offer both in terms of contract length and salary.

I have the weirdest Bojan...

So, legit question. Is Utah a Superteam now?

No one on the roster has ever been an all star so......

How quickly some forget. Someone bump the Gordon FA thread from that summer and let's see what the consensus was on giving him a max contract. Coming off a horribly inefficient year, Utah was willing to give him an identical contract to Favors.

Hindsight is great, isn't it? Kudos to Gordo for busting his *** to make himself into a star. He wasnt back then. He could have just as easily turned into Wiggins. It wasnt like he came into the league like Donovan. Theres zero doubt about giving him maximum he's eligible for. There was with Hayward at the time.

I didn't want to give him the max either time he got it

I don’t understand this line of thinking. Gobert is allstar caliber. Just because Conley was never an allstar because he wasn’t one of the popular kids doesn’t mean he doesn’t play at allstar level. The only reason Mitchell haven’t been an allstar is because he’s only been in the league 2 years. He’s allstar level as well. New players always seem to elevate their play in Utah. Bogdanovic was just below allstar level last year, how hi can he go in a jazz uniform?

I think the bench is underrated. People here are underrating Niang here. Ed Davis is a great underrated signing who will be able to come in and defend and rebound when Rudy gets a rest, O’Neale, great defender improved shot and can guard three positions, and I think you can stagger the rotation making sure one of Conley and Mitchell are in for most of the game, same with Bogdanovic and Ingles. Also, maybe one of Brantley or Foreman will make an impact as a rookie.

3 things happened back to back to back that led to us being able to acquire Bojan

1) At the draft the Suns gave TJ Warren to the Pacers for free basically.

2) Darren Collison unexpectedly retired. The Pacers were already in need of PG and this made their situation at point more pressing.

3) The big one. The Bucks and Malcolm Brogdon couldn't reach an agreement on a new deal allowing the Pacers the opportunity to pursue him.

Since the Pacers acquired Warren, Bogdanovic became less of a priority to them than Brogdon. DL and Zanik saw this and jumped at the opportunity to steal Bogey. Thanks Suns, Bucks, Pacers, Darren Collison and the Jehovah's Witnesses.

Superteam requires 3 or 4 all-star selections

Would you consider the 2014-2015 Hawks a superteam? Millsap, Horford, Korver and Teague were allstars that year. Allstar game selections can be moot considering which conference/division you play in. Sure, Toronto had Kawhi AND Lowry this year, but we all know Lowry wouldn't even be in the conversation if he played in the west.
