Do you think if I started "Tomic's Countdown to become the best Jazz backup center of all time!" thread the karma would be enough to get him here? Cause I want him in the mail pretty bad. . .

Where did the Gobert thread end up? Was I just not paying attention or didn't he pass anyone up since your last update in that thread?
 
I just realised this offseason's gonna be especially tough ... considering how good our team is, can't wait for the season to start up again.

Such a long wait until June 25th!
After that a couple of weeks of excitement (summer league and free agency) and then boredom.

Hard to believe we drafted this guy seven years ago and people still believe he'll come to the states.

Here's some food for thought:
-
Cap this year = 62 million
-
Cap in two years = 108 million
-
Tomic could come over on a two year deal and potentially be set up for a big payday when his contract ends, as even mid-level players will be making silly money by then.
 
I would love to see Tomic back up Rudy and I would like to see Booker back up Favors. Hopefully the Jazz can get Tomic over on a great contract, three to four years.
 
Sounds like he would work well with what the Jazz are trying to do. It's going to take a pretty lucrative contract to pry him from Barcelona, it seems. From what I understand, he's quite happy making okay money over there and isn't overly concerned with coming to the NBA. So I think using money as a lure would be a wise expenditure this offseason.

He's been overseas (from our perspective) to work on his game and get better. That time has come. Time to pull the trigger and get him integrated to Quin's system.

If Tomic was going to come over, now would be the time. Sign a two year deal, be solid off the bench in Utah, in two years sign a big deal with the Lakers or NY. Every Euro's dream scenario.
 
I really like Tomic. There are some things to consider. He's not coming here to be a 4th big and the Jazz have enough of a spacing nightmare with Favors and Gobert. Tomic isn't a floor-spacer or a defender and that's always a gamble when you could really use at least one of those things (you usually do). Also, is anyone worried at all about how thin the frontcourt is in terms of body type?

Anyway, I really like Tomic. He's a piece that could fit. But maybe someone else would fit better (Kaminsky [scrapper, high-IQ, floor-spacer]? Porzingis [tantalizing perimeter skills and mobility which has translated and could translate into strong help D]?)???

I like Tomic a lot.
