Offseason - Tomorrow Begins Today

[Handlogten's Heros]

Cavs aren’t in a hurry and he played very well when he came back.

Instant cap-relief is what the Jazz have to offer. Period. The Jazz might be able to include some salary somewhere... I just don’t know who. If I’m any team in the league, I hang up the second I hear Ex-.

*click*

He sucked when he was healthy... I don’t think it is a priority for them to get off that money but he’s one foot or knee injury away from being completely unmovable.

There are some iterations of things we can do with Favors... a smart team would want us to exercise his option and pick him up... he’s worth what his option is and maybe more. I think his value has gone up and he isn’t just an expiring contract.

I’ll throw some things up later... but we are in a position to offer slightly more to Memphis for Conley by parlaying Favs to a team for dead money that gets routed to Memphis... like would Charlotte trade Biyombo and 12 for Favs and the 23? If so you expand it to three teams and route 12 and Biyombo to Memphis... they get a better pick than we were offering and expirings (plus Dante).

I hope Love is not who we pursue and if we do then dear god don’t give them an asset to take an obviously bad contract off their hands.

Love has 4 years left. I think they gladly trade that for two years of Exum and one year of Favors (they could possibly flip Favors... maybe). But I'm also really down for Conley + Jabari.

Love would be an okay gamble if Exum is in the deal and no draft assets are used... then you sign Beverly around MLE and hope Love has a renaissance and our system gives him the good looks it produces for bad shooters.

If we did the Conley deal I’d rather sign a Jamychal Green to provide some stretch options at the 4 in a traditionally sized 4.

Like you said, this is going to be funny either way.

I think getting both Love and Beverley opens the door for a Ricky return. I think we get both those guys 26-28 minutes (between Beverley playing some 2 and injuries and such).

I do think we should chill a bit... Houston was a pretty overwhelming favorite. We shot so poorly... even for our standards... it happens. We were closer in this series than the result but if a few things break our way we might even be up 3-2... the Rockets are a top 4/5 contender.

Look at last night... if DM shoots 33% from three we win... if Gordon doesn’t bank in a three, Nene is a little late on that tip, or Gobert tips it a fraction of a second earlier it changes the game. There were 2/3 calls that could go our way that change things... i understand some of the doom and gloom but we should really chill.

According to the players net rating. The only 2 plus players for the Jazz were Niang and Favors. They both should have played more.

If we don't get the big names I want Conley + Jabari. That would be a successful off-season imo.

 

[LoPo]

We need to extend Favors at 3 years and $36-39 million. If he declines, then we can trade him with a clearer conscience. Favors at a lower number opens more options.

Korver seems like a decent trade chip. He is only guaranteed $3.5. If a capped out team like Charlotte traded for him during the draft and Kemba bolts, they could just drop him to save money.

I'm with you there. That was my biggest fear with running it back, is that we needed a strong argument to make to free agents, which we don't have. I think we're completely out of the free agent equation (in terms of any significant pieces). We could land a Jabari or Beverley guy, though.

Woo.

Favors not playing more last game was baffling.

Players and agents don't give a **** about such nuances. And if we're looking at this thing honestly, you HAVE to include getting blown out by a combined 52 points in the first two games as legitimate information.

If you can find some way to parlay Exum into Love and not spend actual assets, that's a home run. I don't see that happening.
