True Hoop Podcast on Jazz

They spend about 20 minutes talking about the Jazz starting around 4 minutes in. Basically a two part discussion of how legit the Jazz are and the upcoming decisions they have to make in FA.

Interesting tidbits (mostly coming from Macahon):
1. George Hill's agent is extremely confident there will be a max offer on the table for Hill
2. George Hill rents a home D-Will owns.
3. Dwill is "desperate" to return to Utah
4. Windhorst says Hill fired his old agent this year and hired a new one. Didnt want to discuss details. Says same group was hired by Allen Crabbe (after he fired his former agent) and Tyler Johnson, both who were offered contracts by the Nets. Windhorst thinks Brooklyn might max Hill.
5. Burks will be easy to move if it comes to that to make cap-space.

Was interesting... I like McMahon a lot. Kind of get the impression Hill is taking the max deal from a bottom feeder and money will be the biggest factor in the decision on where he plays. Not sure he'd stay here or Go to SA for 4/80-100 if the 4/130 is on the table in philly or BKN.

Sounded like most think it will be UTA or SA with other teams driving up price.

Do they discuss what the basis is for Deron being "desperate" to return?

 

[dipship31]

If Deron really is "desperate" to return and we can't work out things with Hill I'd be fine with bringing him back and along with Exum's development it'd at least give us formidable options if one of the pieces isn't panning out at a particular time.

I don't think either team pony's up though. Think he should be prepared to choose between money and a great situation.

If deron is desperate that's great... we'd get a motivated dwill. Just not sure how much he has in the tank.

If Hill gets the max, the Jazz need to target one of the Suns' PGs to replace him. Can you imagine Bledsoe on this team? I feel like if Phoenix gets in the Top 3 and gets one of the PGs at the top, they'll trade him. Jazz need to be ready with an offer of Burks, Lyles, #26, and next year's OKC pick for him.

 

[Game6Conley]

Brooklyn makes sense I think I deduced that one around the extension deadline.. They can comfortably max Hill.. and play him in the backcourt next to Lin. They can also afford a few other decent pieces. That'd put them around $95MM for 14 players including the 2 first rd picks and a 2nd.

**** if they got real lucky maybe they could sign Danilo Gallinari with him.. Thats a team that could make a big turnaround.. That'd be the best team they put around Brook Lopez..

He wont come cheap tho, he;s on a very affordable contract for the next 2 seasons.. Brandon Knight could be an option but his contract is a bit inflated..

Let hill walk. Get d will. Develop X. Neto and burks as 3rd string insurance.

Pretty much every NBA podcast today has a ton of Jazz takes.

Bill Simmons did 10 minutes w/ Zach Lowe on the Jazz and the Vertical have a Jazz portion on their podcast today with Bobby Marks.
