Official Offseason Rumors Thread

[Thee Jazz Fan]

So it seems like just a pure personal speculation rumor, not a source based rumor.

Yep.

Thank god. Scared me for a second

Didn't think this was thread-worthy, so I guess I'll post it here.

It'll hurt to lose him before the 2017 draft. He could be a huge factor in why we keep crushing every draft

Nah, there is 1 man who runs the Jazz draft, that is Walt Perrin. Everyone else is just his bottom bitch.

Nah, that was Lindsey. I thought he was brought in to help work with free agents and I don't think it is unfair to say he gets an incomplete grade there.

After Jazz win the lottery on Tuesday we won't even notice Zanic leaving. But he ought to be careful, I wouldn't work around Jason Kidd unless you have got no other options.

The problem is Hayward doesn't need help he is the help. Any team trying to build around Hayward is asking to be mediocre at best. He's just good enough to make you consider whether or not he's good enough to build on. He's that level below the "that guy" he's at best Robin really he's best as a third banana.

Amen. Hayward is the glue that hold the stars together.

I remember reading a few weeks ago (likely on this board) that there are two potential trades DL was looking at and that one of them was supposed to happen at the deadline but didn't and it appears this trade is going to happen this summer.

I hadn't seen anything else about this comment since. Has anything been mentioned of it recently and is there any speculation of which players either trade involves?

Locke said that one of them would be a total surprise and that potentially the other one would be a free agent the jazz would go after this summer.

I think part of the reason the trades didn't happen is because of the burks injury. Had burks been healthy he would be a huge trade chip as he is on a good contract and is relatively talented. Locke mentioned numerous times that this was hampering the trade market for the jazz.

Awesome. Many thanks. And repped!!

DL needs to upgrade the roster. We're close - we really are!

My guess is one is luol deng. He has continued to mention that name.

Pau Gasol? All Star player that makes the Jazz more relevant in free agency if they get him. Badly needed scorer who can play with any of Favors, Gobert or Lyles. Good relationship with Quin Snyder. Won't have to play against Rudy ever again (except in practice.) Seems exactly like a move that the Jazz would make that makes sense to them, is worth the cost AND comes as a shock to fans.

I could have seen them consider him at the deadline last year.
