Roster Addition Wish List

[jom2003]

I think picking up Love or Otto Porter Jr. are very much in the realm of possibility, perhaps even moreso than free agency.

Also, considering the rocky relationship between Porzingis and the Knicks in addition to his injury, and his pending restricted free agency, I would be ready to pounce in any way: Have the cap to give an offer sheet July 1, have a competitive trade package, whatever. He is as close to the perfect player as could be conceived of that is even a fringe possibility.

Love and OTJs contacts are way too toxic. Cavs and wizards honestly need to give away assets in order to dump them.

I hope the Jazz start winning more games. Partially because I like to see them win as a fan, but mostly so we dont have to endure endless LoPo trade ideas/FA moves.

Ill think about this when its the off season.

We are in a funk right now so I decided to start a conversation. Don't be such a crybaby.

Sorry you got your feelings hurt. I know you are sensitive and I apologize for saying we have to endure your posts about trades. Keep posting those awesome trade ideas!

No way I would consider Kevin Love at $30 per year.

Otto Porter is an interesting scenario. I think he fits what we need at a price we can afford. I'd love to know what our coaching staff thinks of his fit.

Porzigis would be amazing. If for some reason we could make our Jazz seem like the best fit in the world for him, maybe he demands coming to us. I don't see him leaving though. I think Durant joins NY and the two of them turn the Knicks into an East contender pretty much over night.

My feelings aren't hurt at all. I just get frustrated by crybabies. If I see something I don't care about, I either ignore it or delete it. I'm not so lame as to have to publicly whine about something that doesn't really affect me.

1 - Run from Favors.

2 - If the Jazz keep this **** up, you can kiss any chance of picking up a tier 1 or 2 free agent goodbye. All they have to sell is how great it is to play basketball here, but if the Jazz aren't good, every other argument quickly dries up.

3 - Kawhi Leonard is head and shoulders above everyone else. But realistically, Tobias Harris, Middleton, and Mirotic are on my radar.

I think we are in the running for Middleton and Mirotic. If we move on from Favors, I think we need to put all of our chips in on Mirotic.

Too lazy to look up free agent pg’s but is Rubio and Rozier the best options in free agency? If we upgrade pg we are set in my opinion. Is Favors too expensive to move to full time backup C? Can Niang and Crowder handle all the pf minutes?

 

[LoPo]

Spencer Dinwiddie
Julius Randle
Tobias Harris
Mirotic(him or Favors, easy choice by now)

Julius Randle really intrigues me. The guy is averaging 17ppg this year while playing less than 24mpg. He's still only 23 and plays with a high motor. He only shoots 25% from 3 and is not a rim protector, but is a pretty good all around player outside of those two things. He doesn't fit our needs perfectly, but he's a good player.

I think Randle is an upgrade over Favors.

Not a fan of Randle. Not sure he is a good fit in Quinn’s sophisticated offense. He’s got that tunnel vision and a bit of a black hole.

Make Favors the backup center and roll with Niang and Crowder at the 4

As for PG's, the best options are Rozier (restricted), Bledsoe, and Kemba. Honestly, I think I'd be okay keeping Rubio at a reduced rate and play Mitchell more at PG. Rubio would be a great PG coming off the bench.

Favors at $16.9 is probably too much for any position. For backup C, that is definitely too much unless we know Gobert is going to be out for a significant amount of time.

Crowder, Niang, and Ingles should be able to cover all PF minutes. Ideally, there is somebody else in that mix who is a better long term option should Niang prove to never be more than a bench PF.

I don't know why Randle gets such a bad rep for being a black hole. Favors has averaged 1 assist per game in his career and just half an assist per game this year. Randle averages 2.5 assists per game. Randle can handle the ball and attacks the bucket. He goes to the line twice as much as Favors does. He is shooting 7 free throws per game this year. He goes to the line as much as Gobert.

I have some major questions about Randle and he definitely isn't my top option, but if he keeps his current form all year playing next to AD and Mirotic, I think he could be a bargain signing should NOLA put all their money into AD and Mirotic.
