Point Guard Musical Chairs

Join the movement. I wanted him at the deadline. I’m definitely intrigued, and I don’t think his stock is too high.
One thing with Kris.. he met the starter criteria so his qualifying offer went from 4.6M to 7.1M. The Bulls might take another guard this draft so they may not want to put that qualifying offer in front of him.... long story short - he may end up being unrestricted which might make him gettable at a reasonable price.

This is exactly why I thought we might’ve been able to get him for a 2nd at the deadline. Maybe Chi was still trying to make a playoff push, but who knows I guess.
 
Is Mudiay coming back ? ( would like to see what another season with our staff could produce )

I would rather have Mudiay than Conley, provided we could get equal value on the open market for what they are both paid.
 
My short list of FA targets:

If Shaq Harrison and Justin Holiday were about 20-30lbs heavier they would be perfect. Both are very heady defenders and would contribute in a playoff rotation. I don't think Poeltl wants anything less than a starting role. Bertans probably wants too much $$$. DJJ could become a 33% 3pt shooter even. But enough with their flaws. I'd be happy if we got any of 1 of them.

No reason to bring Mudiay back unless Mike is gone. If we have injuries I'd rather throw JWF some spot minutes.

Shaq is the number 1 dude I want based on what I think he'd get and our needs. He gets a ton of deflections and steals... two things we are at the bottom of the league in. I think he might be a diamond in the rough and if his 3p shooting can hold up I think he's a steal. Pretty flexible positionally (another thing we really need).

I will be somewhat devastated when a team gets him on the cheap and it isn't the Jazz.
 
Combine this with the other Hayward thread. Anyway we can send out Conley and take back Hill and Hayward? Use the MLE on Favors and then we can have our 2017 team back but now + Donovan, Bojan, Clarkson and Royce.

Let's not be silly now...

Then again that would be pretty fun to see 2017 with the additions.
 
No on the Bledsoe trade idea, he has had issue with injuries, not playing in the playoffs and he has 3 years on his contract. I do not know enough about Shaq Harrison but he is undersized. I think the Jazz major weaknesses are at PF and SF. Joe and Royce moving to the bench would instantly improve our bench. We need another rebounder to help Rudy out. We got killed against Denver on the boards. I do think the Jazz need to add some ?oung talent. So we get Bogey back, re-sign Clarkson and then find a long athletic SG/SF who can play Defense. I read an article about a kid out of UW called Isiah Stewart. Does any one have an opinion about him? Is he worth the 23 pick or early second round pick.
