What's new

Jazz Sign Rudy Gay

He's a good defender and rebounder at the 4. I'm not a believer in him as a stretch-5. I think he plays 15 - 20 minutes per night, or a bit more if matchups call for it.
 
From what I can tell the roster is now

Conley-Bridges
Mitchell-Clarkson
Bogie-Ingles
Royce-Gay
Rudy-Udoka

end of bench, I think:
Oni (not sure if this year is guaranteed yet)
Brantley
Hughes

That makes 13. I’d say grab Frankie Smokes and a backup C on a minimum, then we’re set.
Grab James Ennis or Justice Winslow, Ntikilina, and Jock Landale. Win title.
 
What a great pick up for the Jazz. They were targeting two players for their TPMLE and they got one of them, great work by the front office. The Jazz have had a very successful offseason in my book, re-signed Conley and added Butler and Gay. I would love to see them make a couple of good vet minimum signings and call it an offseason. No need to trade Ingles, if our championship window is now then he helps us far more next season than guy's like Moody or Paschall would.
 
Signing Gay should take some pressure off Butler to come in and be the savior
Butler will have some go to guys on the floor with JC Joe and Gay
 
Despite OPJ being a better theoretical fit, I think, this is a far better bet given the two players' respective injury history.

Maybe OPJ moved on from us once again because we were still pursuing our first choice?
 
Love it. I honestly expected absolutely nothing for the rest of this offseason, and he is a good vet who fits the team nicely.
 
A legit stretch 5 would be a nice tool to have in the belt. Would be a hedge on if Doke ain’t cutting it, too.

Time to try to rectify the mistake of leaving Bjelica in the cold three years ago.

bJelly signed with the Dubs. What stretch 5’s are out there?

I’m cool with absorbing Paschall with TPE and flipping them a few seconds to keep Don happy. Or they can have Miye Oni and a second rounder if they like him. I wouldn’t give up anything else for him.
