This was a very fun listen if you want to see what type of FAs are on the market and what type of teams would be willing to pay them. If you don't want to listen to it all, here are some bits that involved the Jazz:

For some reason they put our free cap space at 13M, if we are willing to get rid off Booker, which in fact should be about 16M.
Jazz GM made an offer for Reggie Jackson - 4x13M, I absolutely hated this one. I think it's a terrible fit and if we wanted Jackson we would have simply made a deal with OKC for him on the trade deadline. Thankfully there were other GMs that wanted him more.
Luol Deng! This is who Jazz GM Danny Leroux zeroed in on after the Jackson thing didn't happen. He offered him 3x10M with the last year being only partially guaranteed. Miami didn't want to go higher and the Jazz got Luol Deng for the next 3 years on a very tradeable contract.
Interesting bit about Kanter - no GM really wanted to go high on him, he got 4x10 from OKC and 4x11 from... I don't remember anymore, but the Lakers thought they could steal him if they gave him a short deal at the max 2+1 max deal. OKC matched reluctantly.
