Play GM for the Jazz - What would you do?

You know we are arguing based on your GM plan, which is to take Luol Deng off their hands, right? Or did you just completely forget the frame of reference for this entire conversation?
Its simple logic. Philly has everything they need to be very relevant in 2-3 years.

The Lakers failed. Even after the Mozgov and Deng signings, they lost patience. Kupchak was brilliant. His contracts were crap, but they were intentional. Those big contracts forced the youth to develop instead of rocking the boat with delusions of grandeure. They heard an agent story and pounced. They dumped a massive piece to the puzzle.

PG Lonzo
SG Russell
SF Ingram
PF Randle
C TBD
6th man Clarkson

Thats a contender only lacking a defensive rebounding center rotation. But they lost patience. Since they dumped Russell, they HAVE to get PG and dump Deng. Because instead of going the Philly or GS route, they went the get rich quick route. To dump Deng, they have to use Ingram. Once they do those deals, they have to pray a big fish joins them even if GS will still woop their ***. Lonzo, PG and old LBJ wont beat GS. Lonzo, Russell, Ingram, and Randle would have battled with Boston and Philly in 2021.

They played their hand too quickly. Had they waited 1 year, they would have still had a more developed Russell, easier to trade Mozgov and Deng because less years and then lured George. If they don't get George, oh well. No biggie because they have 5 young players at need positions.

Now do you see?

You are derailing your own thread. Why are you so obsessed with the Lakers?

Lost the argument then you change the subject. Pretty piss poor buddy.

I'm obsessed with the Lakers because I want Ingram. They have to deal him to get PG, and I want to pounce.

I want to win titles. I want to be the Celtics and use assets to manipulate others who are in disarray. We have $14 million in cap that expires in less than a week. It is a massive asset. We have to pounce. If we lose Ingles because we use the space to get a first rounder in 2019 that might be franchise shifting, then do it.

We were arguing about how bad your plan is to assist the Lakers in clearing cap-space then you switched it to reviewing the Lakers decisions for the past two years, which I dont care about discussing with you.

Really. Then what you been doing? If you want, we can discuss how badly Chicago wants Alec Burks.

1) Offer Favors, Diaw & 1st-round pick for Paul George and Kevin Seraphin
http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=y9acwcc8

2) Offer Hayward his choice of a 5-year max or 2+1 max contract so he can pursue the designated player exception

3) Sign Teodosic for 3 years / $29M

4) Try to match Joe Ingles in restricted FA


If it works...

Gobert / Seraphin / Bradley
Johnson / Bolomboy / ??
Hayward / Ingles / ??
George / Hood / Mitchell
Teodosic / Exum / Neto
 
Utah an Westbrook should both be put in straight jackets if Jazz do not acquire him for Bolomboy, Donovan, Hill, Favors, Exum, Hood an every unprotected pick Utah can offer.

OKC would be more even mental.
