Maybe the jazz want to keep their players happy. Rudy and donovan might be the type of guys who are happiest when they are winning.
So the jazz got hill to keep hayward happy. Maybe they should get Mirotic to keep gobert and donovan (and everyone else) happy by being a good team.
Has a plan like this ever worked out for the Jazz?
Say you're the Bulls and it turns out the best Mirotic offers are:
Jon Leuer (10.5M this year, 10M next, 9.5M the following) and a 2018 Pistons lottery-protected 1st; and
Alec Burks (10.8M this year, 11.5M next) and a 2019 lottery-protected Jazz 1st
Which do you take? Or do you just say, "screw it; we'll keep Mirotic and see what happens"?

Thanks, I totally forgot about the difference between Bird and Early Bird, and was thinking there was no advantage if the player didn't have a three year contract.
Yeah, we can offer him more, but we also have a cap which is nice and honestly I don’t think there’s any way anyone offers him more than $20 (of even close to that) with the cap crunch. I also would find it hard to see him find a better basketball situation with his front court partner that allows him to do what he does best. Of course, you could have said this about Hayward, but I don’t believe he’s a guy being chased on that level and I think the odds of retaining him are very high [this has nothing to do with reports of him being “intrigued” by Snyder, as alluded to earlier, as I was the first skeptic saying that that report doesn’t necessarily mean anything].
**** Mirotic I'm on that Kemba/Wet Bandit/Lamb feeling.

I like Lamb and Bandit. Keep your Kemba, or send him to Detroit.
In other news....George Hill to the Cavs after a buyout?
I really don't like guys who chase the money then force their way out of town. I also don't like that the NBA rules allow it, then allow the super teams to sign these guys on the cheap.
I wish the NBA had a system that allowed the Kings to waive Hill today, and every team in the league could have a chance to bid on what percentage of his contract they would cover. If the Jazz were highest at 47%, his contract would be transferred to the Jazz and the Kings would pay the other 53%. Maybe someday when I rule the world.

Buyout? What the **** are you talking about?
Pls shut this thread we are past Mirotic and on the Kemba train.
That team had a winning record.
I don't think the Jazz move anyone. I remember the last time the Jazz had a couple of expiring deals they were going to move to allow the team to grow....
Um, what? Not according to what you just posted.
Wait, he's 27?
**** yes, get him now then. IDK why but I thought he was about to turn 30.

Basically DL just confirmed they are still looking at a Niko trade.
Thank goodness. I’m fine with him playing the long game as long as he’s prepared to not be outbid.
