Sources: Bobby Portis significantly interested in Utah

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Breaking news...
Per Tony Jones, everyone has interest in Utah.
Tony just going to keep throwing names out there until the Jazz sign someone. Then he can bump the applicable tweet and say, "see, I was right." Tony has about as much credibility as a certain poster who does the same thing here with draft prospects 4 years in advance.

What did Tony do to you?

I'm all for signing Portis but I don't see why Washington would let him go?

Cap hell. They can't (or shouldn't) retain both Parker and Portis. They must decide on Parker's 20M first. And even then, it will cost them a lot to retain players like Satoransky or Portis

They already declined Parker's option though, and I think that Portis would be a better bet than Jabari going forward but I know that's a point of contention.

Any base for questioning Tony's credibility? Has he done something like Chris Broussard?

Thanks, I wasn't aware they already decided. Even now, their salary situation is hell, and for a team that it's not going to make the playoffs.

What is portis mindset? I mean is he a good teammate? Since his fight in Chicago, I don't really have a good opinion of him. Just don't want him come to destroy the chemistry and make a mess!

Is Jamychael Green the only UFA 4/5 with legit size who can hit the 3?

 

[Jack Strop]

He's restricted people...it ain't going to happen.
There is absolutely ZERO chance Dennis would waive Favors in order to make an offer to a restricted FA. And Portis is different, but not better than Derrick. WAS will be keeping Portis and negotiating a lower per year deal with Jabari, but for more years.

They seem to like Parker and they drafted another 4 man with I think the 9th-10th pick. So they probably like him too Portis could be odd man out.

Heard they both have mutual interest in each other

Horsecrap. Jones is the most reliable Jazz reporter of personnel moves.

First, it's impossible to get Tony to say anything about potential players and scenarios. If he's saying something, he knows something. If you follow him, you know how he operates. He hates putting names out there and refuses to do so.

Second, anyone still uttering the words 'Jabari Parker'... did you want to sign Jimmer, too? He's never happening here. Ever.
