One could argue that the Jazz are an Exum, 3/D Wing, and a back up center away from a playoff birth. I think you go after Leonard, Butler, Matthews, Middleton, Green, and DMC and hope you land one of them.
Potential and Realistic Offseason Moves
- Thread starter Chris
- Start date
I could see them go after Danny Green, Tobias Harris, Jeff Green, and maybe Bargnani.
I actually like Bargnani as a third big, to stretch the offense and open the middle for Favors/Gobert. He could easy help the 2nd unit with scoring. Mix in Danny Green and the Jazz just added scoring and some d with Green. I really like Green decent shooter and can defend his position.
Exum/Burke/Nato
Green/Burks
Hayward/Hood
Favors/Booker
Gobert/Bargnani
mixed in the best player avble in draft.

Couldn't agree with this post more.
So much depends upon how big a step Exum is able to take this summer and next. My prediction: he'll be significantly (20ish%) better next year, and then blow up in year 3.

Bargnani? Seriously? He blows. He can't shoot anymore (around or less than 30% on 3s the last few years). He can't defend either (and he is dumb). He is done as a player.
Green or Harris could be solid additions though

Would everyone hate the idea of going after Lin in the offseason? If he signs for a reasonable price, (which he should) he'd be a good bench player who can help Exum. Lin is a good shooter for as much as people say he sucks this year he's way better then Burke. Lin shares the ball, he's still young, he has good size, and he can play the 2. The best part is he would make Burke expendable
I'd rather have Burke for 2 more years of rookie contract than Lin.

We need to go after Portland's players. Give them some payback for Millsap and Matthews. If they max out Aldridge and Mathews, will they be willing to max Lillard the next year?

Portland will not be getting into a bidding war to keep Matthews - in fact I think he's already been written off to keep those two. Picking up Afflalo cemented his fate.

Despite all of Trey's faults, I agree with this. He seems to have settled into his role and Quin likes him. If he can improve his shot or pass more, he'll be a solid contributor down the road.
With that said, I'd have traded for Lin and gotten a 1st and 2nd round pick from Houston over taking on Novak for 1/2 a season for a 2nd from Toronto.

Affalo is going to opt out after this year, right? I don't think either guy is a sure thing to stay or go.
