Ok...Now what?
- Thread starter oyster
- Start date
He's not, but he would fill a lot of that scoring void left by Hayward. Signing him makes us a solid playoff team next year.

We have to stop the belly aching over Hayward. The guy took 5 years to be relevant and bailed as soon as he became an All Star. He never had the backbone I desired. We would have regretted $35 per year.
Back to the thread purpose: what now?
What now is we make calculated moves for the future. I would look towards the following:
#1 - do not sign Rudy Gay. Please no.
#2 - we have to see if we can get Boston to salary dump to us. When Smart, Crowder or Bradley is dumped, let us hope it is to us. Hell, I would s&t Hayward and send our 2018 1st for Jaylen Brown. We know how Boston loves picks...http://hoopshype.com/2017/07/04/expect-the-celtics-to-make-more-moves-after-signing-gordon-hayward/
#3 - Look for salary dump deals. We can gain valuable assets through salary dumps. If we are playing the young guys anyway, pick up another asset. Players teams want to dump - Ryan Anderson, Noah, and Deng come to mind.
#4 - Jabari Parker. This is a pipe dream, but we have to explore it. I would trade the farm for this guy due to fit, etc. Any asset we can send and take back any contract we have to.
That is my short plan. Still work I'm gonna do to provide clearer plans.

Extend Exum and Hood... July 9 (or whatever the first date is).
Send a message of faith in the young core.

Yep, especially if the rumors for what Hood is seeking are true(15-18M)...

The one piece of solace I take from this, is that about 18 months ago I was honestly unsure whether Hood or Hayward had the higher ceiling.
I remember a few other posters mentioning similar things at the time.
I am going to try to believe Hood has stalled a little due to his injuries and his stifled role with Hayward being here.
It is not a long shot that Hood will respond bigly...

Yep. Based on production he might deserve something around 15 per.
Exum prob doesn't deserve more than 5 per.
But I would offer something like:
Hood: 4/62
Exum: 4/45
Jarrett Jack also had this injury 2 years ago at age 31 I think. He has hardly played since.

I say extend Rodney Hood now! He has proven himself to be an efficient scorer and a great player. I know some of you Jazz fans dislike his streaky shooting but he will improve and will have more opportunity, now that GH left.
No one on the free agent list that I have seen/heard about does anything for me.
I'd rather go into this season with mostly the roster we have or make a big trade.
Give Hood, Exum, Mitchell and Burks a chance to shine. Then at the trade deadline start making trades and set the team up to make a splash in 2018 free agency.

Why i agree with most what you said. I would rather have Tatum then Brown. If the Jazz are helping them dump salary then why are we giving them a pick.
#4 Jazz fans can't get over their love for Jabari. That isn't happening.
