Roster Building From Here - FA and Summer of 2023

[Handlogten's Heros]

With how good Lauri is now, the Jazz kind of have to be in win now mode.

I could see DA pulling off some magic and recreating the Boston Allen/KG trades. Steal Dame away from Portland and Derozan from the Bulls?

Dame
Ochai
Derozan
Lauri
Walker

That would be a super team.

If you got Dame why get Derozan. I think Dame stays put… he seems like he is very much just gonna die on the loyalty hill in Portland. Derozan, Beal, Lavine… are all guys I think will be available this offseason.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

No lol… come on lopo they ain’t giving a pick in that deal. Doubt they’d do it straight up.



This is a solid plan… other than the trade value portion it’s cool. We’d still need an absolute home run in the draft to become a contender.

I wouldnt be so sure.

Sexton probably has some big time fans in the NBA. He was offensively great this year and his defense showed improvement. The Nets dont have a single PG prospect on the roster. They are using Dinwiddie currently. They have a big glut of wing types. I just think it makes sense, especially given DFS struggles. I would say straight up Sexton should have more value.

Just get as much talent as possible. Just looked at the ****** teams who could possibly be interested. I would love to get *insert start SF name* but I just dont know how that would be. I love Derozan's game. He has fit well with Lavine. Lauri/DeRozan/Dame could definitely work IMO. 3 super high IQ guys who have pretty different games.

And Dame has publicly said he would go to Utah as part of his "loyalty" from his college days, so he has an out that fits his image/

Nope. DFS is the type of player that will have like 25 teams interested. Sexton may only have a few. They do need passing/playmaking but that’s not the type of pg Sexton is. Sexton also has missed a lot of time. We’d be the team adding something.

DFS is shooting 34/28 splits in Brooklyn. I dont know which way it would be, but I dont think it's 100% clear either way. Sexton isnt a playmaker/passer yet. but there arent a lot of PG's available and he's might be their best option at something.

Which is why I had a hard on for the tank. We have assets coming out the ears for hell sakes. It’s not going to be hard to add talent, then imagine adding a top 3 pick to that. That’s why you tank in Utah’s position. That’s why I pounded the table and preached for the tank. It would’ve been so easy to build a contender considering the state of the franchise. And now we have to tank next year so we can build a bonafide title contender. I don’t have time for some of YALL’s pride of winning a few games so we can continue to be irrelevant the next 7-10 years.

Good luck building a top team utah and I hope all you none tankers can live with just being good with no hope of significantly building an improving team being a small market that has no assets and can’t convince star free agents to come to Utah.

They can cash in DFS for a first instead… I doubt they’d be in on sexton as Dinwiddie is already kinda dribble shoot happy pg. if they were I think straight up is the best you could hope for… sorry. A couple months of bad shooting doesn’t mean DFS stock drops. I bet we’d be adding a sweetener

That’s the Rob Pelinka Lebron GM method… get talent but get talent that builds on each other… not that just plays alongside. If you can get FVV and trade for Derozan I’m cool with that. You don’t need Dame and Derozan both out there getting cooked on defense.

I started the Dame to Utah parade… his most recent comments throw all sorts of cold water on that. Things can change but he seems more dug in than ever.

Pelinka win a ring. None of these guys are Russ

they won a bubble ring by not doing the Pelinka Lebron method… then offloaded role playing three and D guys for a “more talented player”. Derozan has some similar flaws as Russ and we don’t have Lebron. We have to build a team that is better than the sun of its parts if they are going to be a contender. Cashing in teh picks for two guys that are best with the ball in their hands and are bad defenders ain’t it boss… especially since Derozan doesn’t space the floor.

Demar isn't that bad on D. You're way overstating it. Positive D Raptor
