NBA Free Agency Moves in General (related to the Jazz, but not just moves made by the Jazz)

My main problem with that is that you've looked at total pts when seeing what we've lost, but then when thinking about replacements you've looked at ppg. The issue is that those players will not play in all 82 games. You also need to adjust for expected games lost to have a realistic scenario.

Rubio isn't going to get 9 assists per game if he hasn't got anyone around to put the ball in the hoop. I really hope he and Rudy develop a strong understanding in training camp, could be awesome.

Yea, laziness. The main point stands. I can see us getting close to replacing the points. Also part of the reason I was being what I felt to be conservative for the most part with the ppg numbers to account for some amount of lost time. Hopefully not nearly as large as last year. I may not have accounted for it in the numbers per se, but just cut down numbers with a spitball.

I was looking at the big picture to see how likely we can replace points, and was not interested in getting deep into the nitty gritty.

This is a mediocre 3 point shooting team held up by the possibility that Ingles continues his league leading 3 point % and Hood and Burks being healthy and showing steadiness from behind the arc.

Where I see value the most in Rubio is that Rudy is the best rim runner in the NBA. If Rubio can hit a decent percentage of mid-range shots (he shoots reasonable well when he gets inside), then Gobert can hunt for lob after lob after lob. I have a feeling that Quin can figure out some good high-low action with Rubio, Favors and Gobert. Some good double screening into it by the wings maybe to hide Rubio's shooting and also to create commotion for Ingles to get wide open in the corner.

Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, 3 first round picks unprotected and cash.... And that is still probably not enough. Taking Deng's contract is a deathnail to this team. It would officially be wasting Gobert's prime years.

I don't think it's a deathknell, but I would extract a premium to do it... ball Ingram and three firsts is ummmmm extreme.

If the nets wanted to clear a little more cap space to make a run at KCP how would we feel about a Booker reunion. One year deal. A guy we love. Just a salary dump for them.

I would love it
 
Oh ****. A huge YES to Book.

I'm all about mother-****ers happy as a pig in **** playing D, uglying up the game, and proud to be a member of one the league's great franchises.
 
Another name I'd be interested in that I haven't heard anything about is Jonas jerebko... sign one of those types to fill in the gaps of the rotation.
 
I think I'm done keeping an eagle eye on twitter. Waiting for Jazz news every day only for there to be none is starting to drive me crazy lol.
