Jazz trade John collins

Both Anderson and Love are high bbiq players who can teach our young players how to run a play in a slow, half court setting. I think there's a pretty decent chance we keep them around just to serve as mentors.
 
Who else we going to pay in the next 4 years? Walker is the only upcoming RFA we have to worry about. He's 22 coming off a career season. Seems like the kind of smart risk to take. I just dont think it's really realistic given teh Bulls will probably just match whatever we can come up with.
I think the Bulls will hold their nose and match the contract. Still think the Jazz should kick the tires and see what happens.
 
Kuminga and Giddey are basically in the same boat as players/prospects. Think I’d prefer Giddey just because of the type of player he is. We are over indexed on prospects with low IQ and want to score.
 
Yeah, from what I read the Bulls want him at or under 25 per, and Giddey wants the Suggs contract (like you said 30 per year).

I think I would be OK with paying him 30 per year. He had a 3.0 BPM with the Bulls, and I wouldn't call his teammates great. Averaged 20-10-10 in the last two months of the season (obviously the least impressive time to do that, but still impressive). Was also the only player on the Bulls to show up for the play in game.

Just think he's kind of a perfect fit given the lack of playmakers we have, and he's become a reliable wide open shooter. He just kind of makes everyone the roster make more sense together in a way not a lot of obtainable players can.
The problem is is defensive suckitude….
 
Im not smart enough to know all the rules regarding S&T's, but I would give up Collier/Sensabaugh to make it work.
I think if the Jazz want him, they’d have to work out some sort of sign and trade deal with Chicago. Otherwise, I agree that the Bulls match. Not sure what they’d want back, but they’d almost certainly want to get back more than they gave up to get him.
 
Yes, but we got to roll Gay,s salary into Collins instead of paying them both.
We wanted Collins though... he wasn't a means to get out of Gay's money. It was 100% about getting Collins the player and not a salary move. We could have paid Gay and used like 20M+ in cap space that offseason. Might have even been at the floor.
 
Kuminga and Giddey are basically in the same boat as players/prospects. Think I’d prefer Giddey just because of the type of player he is. We are over indexed on prospects with low IQ and want to score.
Just get them next year when whatever team pays them regrets it and is willing to attach an asset.
