Should Utah Look for Salary Dumps?

[Saint Cy of JFC]

This is in both ways, as a dumper and a dumpee.

Can the Jazz flip anyone on the team for a worse contract, but while adding either a young piece on a rookie deal or a future draft pick?

The Jazz have Joe Johnson, Boris Diaw, Derrick Favors, and Alec Burks as either expiring contracts, or (in Burks case) expiring in two years.

Allen Crabbe is an interesting name as Portland has some interesting assets.

Could Portland want Joe Johnson and Boris Diaw for Allen Crabbe and Zach Collins?

Can the Jazz afford to do that? Crabbe is wildly overpaid, but offers elite shooting that would fit a need for Utah with Rubio at the helm.

Unless they pull of a miracle move The Jazz FO should do Joe Johnson a solid and trade him to a contender.

Detroit. Porty. Cleveland might be looking to dump.

Tobias Harris. Harkless. Shumpert... not sure of cost on any. Deng is too long of a contract and too old. Anderson?

We have a limited pool now.

I tend to agree, but a very important part of next year will be learning how to play with Ricky Rubio and we need shooting to do that. Joe Johnson would have tremendous value in a Rubio lead offense.

He probably is our most valuable trade piece though.

Harris would be a good option since he can score. Unlike, say, Shumpert.

Sign Jamychael Green to be the stretch 4.

Man, I would hate to take Dieng. I'd rather get Crabbe, who can at least contribute and has upside to produce in the Jazz system.

Cleveland does have Cedi Osman. I really dont know that much about him, but he could be worth giving up Joe Johnson for.

No.

 

[Miggs]

No.

Yeah, why would we want a big who shot 38% from three last year. How stupid of me.

He would cost too much. Grizzlies let Randolph go for a reason.

Going after any RFA is just futile. Any fair deal would result in a match and at the current cap climate the last thing you want to do is overpay for bigs.

The Jazz get rights to Cedi Osman too.

You don't know that. Patterson went for less than 5.5 per.

Make Green an offer of 4/44. If he takes it, awesome. If we're limbo and then the Grizz match, so be it. I won't give a **** if we miss out on anyone else.

Only if DL receives an offer he can't refuse, whether it's draft picks or if we get compensation and a player or players who can actually help us win and don't have ridiculously long, bad contracts (and if they do, a generous amount of picks).

Patterson was a UFA, so he had free movement and his incumbent team was deep in the LT after signing Ibaka.

Grizzlies let go of Randolph so they could sign Green.

I just dont see Utah landing some big name FA anytime soon.

The big thing is keeping enough cap room open to sign Hood/Exum and not be in the LT next year. After that, the next batch of payment we have to worry about are Mitchell/Bradley/Gobert all in the same year.
