Who Will Be on the Roster Opening Night?

A lot of who will be back depends on whether or not we make a trade that brings a 10-12M contract in or sign somebody in free agency for 12+M. If we do, that almost certainly means Booker and most non-guaranteed contracts + Jerrett are gone.
 
Exum/Delon Wright(trade Burke and/or our future assets to move up late 1st)/Cotton
Burks/Hood/Ginobili
Hayward/Ginobili/JIngles
Favors/Booker
Gobert/Pleiss/Poeltl(1st pick)



Then we sign someone Bookeresque style that will fill any void we feel we have left.

Which is one reason I want Carroll back. He brings that same hustle, attitude and fight that Booker does. Plus he is a hard worker and good locker room guy. Just imagine the aggressive craziness of this line up on the floor:
Gobert
Booker
Carroll
Burks
Cotton

Oh man...they will come at you 90 miles an hour and bust you in the mouth. Then stare you down as you are on the floor. Relentlessly

While I would absolutely love to get Carroll back, do you think he would leave a starting position behind in Atlanta to come back to the Jazz where he's by no means guaranteed a starting position? Plus, if we bring him back and start him, Hood drops to 15-20 minutes a game.

I just don't see Carroll leaving the situation he's in right now--unless Jazz offer him a butt load of more money, which I doubt they'll do.

Stranger things have happened, I suppose.

Carroll is the one guy I'd really want. But just not sure it works in terms of having enough minutes. DMC and Hayward start, but do Burks and Hood then only get 15 minutes each? Also not sure Utah could fit DMC under the cap AND bring over Tomic without declining the option on Booker

You've got me there. Dang it... Either way I expect 1-4 new players on the Jazz next year. With 1 of them being a starter or regular rotation player.

I don't see Burks fitting in with that group. The other are players that go all out on both ends of the floor. Burks is not. Just saying. Plus when would that lineup ever play together? 2 Starters (maybe)a 3rd stringer and 2 backups. Seems unlikely they see the floor together at all let alone for any real time.
