So What Position FA?

I am really liking most of this team and would like them on the team next season.

Withey and Lyles are solidfying their spots as the back up C and PF. Johnson and Ingles should remain with the Jazz but be end of benchers. Also next year with the return of Exum i think we are set at PG. Exum and Burke and Neto seems like a good PG rotation.

So I am thinking that a starting SG would be ideal.

Possible 2016 SG FA targets:

Bradley Beal - Restricted
DeMar DeRozan - Player Option
Evan Fournier - Restricted
Eric Gordon - Unrestricted

Then flip Lyles and Booker.

This would give us a rotation (in my head) of:

Gobert/WIthey/Pleiss
Favors/Lyles/Booker
Hayward/Hood/Ingles
FA/Bruks/Johnson
Exum/Burke & Neto

I'd like Beal but I doubt Washington will let him go. Thoughts?

If not this then something more severe like a trade.
 
Not a big fan of DeRozan, but otherwise I think the guys you listed would be the main targets. Maybe Afflalo for a bench guy?
 
Maybe we can sign and trade Beal for burks if wizard don't want to max him. They both have injury history, but I like he has three point range. I like your idea. Thank you.
 
Laso Beal has potential to be star and I remember Curry onetime was that kind guy who everyone say..If he can only be healthy! One day Beal might be healthy and reach full arsenal! We still need number one guy one way or another.

I really like him too. I wonder if he gets more minutes he can breakout? his per 36 pretty good. Give him 5 more shots a game on that 36, can he be a 20 point scorer and focus of offense? Maybe?

I see that Joe B was right about you, now that I am paying more attention to what you actually are writing, Vermin.

There are dreamier options than Bazemore, but Kent is realistic and fits really well, IMO. Has become pretty clutch, and can defend wings and guards. Coming from ATL, he'd have a seamless transition. The jazz FO had interest in him before he signed with the Hawks, so that's encouraging history, too.

I really like how he can help take the defensive burden off of Hayward -- who, I think, should be given the luxury of drawing an easier defensive assignment down the stretch of close games than he is right now.
 
Bazemore huh?

Decent age for our group, he's 26. Rebounds well for a SG, 4.6 rpg. 2.4 apg is average. His career 3% is 37% but he is at 42.5% this year.

Might not be a fluke has his mpg is up and as a result he is up in APG, FT%, 3%, RPG, PPG, SPG. He is taking just over 4 3s a game. Plus he is a Hawks player so Snyder would be comfortable with him.

He would certainly fit the team.

Gobert/Withey
Favors/Lyles
Hayward/Hood
Bazemore/Burks
Exum/Burke(Neto)

That looks like a 4th seed to me.

In this line up, Burks and Hood would get too few minutes. We should trade Burks and do a 3 wing rotation, with Ingles and CJ getting filler minutes.

My dream is to see Lyles become a legit stretch 4 threat and Favors develop his three-point shot as well. Every single player on the Hawks can basically shoot the 3.

If we can get Baze, then I think we should shop Burks, Withey, and our 1st-round pick this year.

I'd probably be more interested in trading Burks, Lyles and our 1st. Really good defensive 5's like that aren't easy to come by and to have him behind Gobert gives us 48 minutes of legit rim protection. Burks, Withey and our 1st for Ryan Anderson or something.

I think Withey is a perfect backup for Gobert, and can probably be retained for relatively cheap. Booker shouldn't be resigned. So I think perhaps we get Bazemore, and package Burks +1st for salary + improved 1st round pick?

Trading Lyles at this stage would be a mistake (and it's implausible that they would do it anyway). He doesn't have much value at the moment, but does have much higher potential value down the road. I would rather see how he develops over the next couple of years.
 
Out of our top 6 players Burks is the one that I would be willing to trade first.

As far as Hood and Burks not getting enough time in my lineup. So? Don't we want that problem? So many players worthy of more minutes than they get. When we get to elite status that is a problem we are going to have. You need to have a bench that is worth mor eplaying time than they get but is OK with it because they bought into the system and you're a contender.
