Which Free Agent veteran players will we go for?

Really liked McRoberts last year. Also PJ Tucker or Jordan Hill seem like Jazz guys.

Yeah Jordan hill is the only one have any real interest in. The others would be like adding RJ. Another poor year is still needed and then we can start filling in gaps to make some noise.
 
We should not be targeting short-term rotation players, that is set.

Jazz will use cap space to trade for future assets, matching cap space with high-character "insurance" players (injury protection), not 2014 rotation players.

It will be a mini version of 2013 Golden State move, minus RJ coming in and taking minutes.

Guard: Exum, Burke, Burks,
Swing: Hayward, Burks, Hood
Bigs: Favors, Kanter, Gobert, Evans

Why take minutes away from these 9? Development time, and no talk about tank, try like hell to win but we we won't win much and land a mid-to-late 2015 lottery pick.

Still think we didn't improve our defense much this off season. Maybe Quin will be able to coach up some guys, specifically Kanter, but PJ Tucker would be a needed perimeter defender. I agree with everyone that we should make a Jefferson, Biedrins deal again this season and then worry about adding the pieces around youth. Our core needs as much playing time together as possible.
 
While I would understand if they used the remaining cap space in a way similar to last year, I've kind of been hoping they go after role-playing guys they want. Give them something like two-year deals at slightly inflated rates so they're motivated. Something like what Atlanta got in Millsap and Carroll would be a dream. (In fact, maybe we can re-acquire Carroll; he and Snyder have a great relationship.)

I think guys like Tucker and McRoberts fit this bill. I'd be willing to pay Mills for longer (especially given the Aussie connection). And Diaw definitely earned 3 years. Prying those guys away could be hard. Marvin Williams also fits this description.

Shaun Livingston, Mike Scott, Wesley Johnson, Kirk Hinrich.
 
One other argument against a GSW-type deal:

I think we have a lot of good assets right now. It's time to start establishing winning habits -- especially because we have a new coach. Go get him a couple of players who can help him. I'm suddenly really into the idea of trading for Carroll. What would that cost? A couple second-round picks? Jeremy Evans and a second rounder?
 
Too be honest with you, I think we need some solid Vets that have been winners. I'd do this and call it an off-season

You all might hate this but, I'd gamble on the following moves (will have to overpay on both)

Paul Pierce (3 year deal) 10 million, 9 million, 8 million (t.o half guaranteed)

Pierce brings toughness, will make the other players try harder and push them to do there best.

Paul Gasol (3 year deal) 12 Million, 11 Million, 10 Million (t.o. half guaranteed)

Gasol would be a perfect fit next to Favors, Gobert, Kanter. help them work on there mid range shot and passing. Both Players want to win and would help our young talented team take another step. I think the Jazz could also make some noise in the playoffs if everyone is healthy.

My 8 man rotation would be

Burke/Exum
Burks/
Hayward/ Pierce
Kanter/ Gasol
Favors/

Both contracts would fall off in time, to resign Exum/Hood/Burke
 
Gortat would be nice. Maybe McRoberts. This isn't a good year for free agents we can potentially sign.

Lots of PGs which we don't need.

I bet there will be a trade.

There is no chance in hell those players would sign here. ZERO.

LMFAO, two HOFers coming to Utah to finish their careers off the bench.

Stop playing 2K13. Now.
