Hell of a regular season team. Doesn't win a chip though, as constituted, and you'd know that going in.

Nah, not at all. Every team needs luck to win at the end of the day. The Bucks only won the Chip because Durant's big *** foot stepped on a line.

The Jazz have enough talent to win it all as constituted.

I respectfully disagree, unless a much more significant amount of luck were to strike, than what the Bucks got.

Running this back makes you the belle of the regular season ball, is all..........................IMO.
 
No trades. We draft McBride then overpay to keep Conley.
 
Jazz have scouted the living joy out of the 2nd round this year. Makes it seem likely the Jazz will make moves in the 2nd round again. Remember, the Jazz co-hosted a 4-day Combine in Minnesota where they helped recruit 40+ prospects and helped run the workouts.

BTW, Vrenz was part of that Combine, and he did well enough there to add 10 more team workouts to his itinerary.

Bogey for draft pick and draft pick + Favors for a useful player is the dream for me.

If it’s one or the other, I still prefer Bogey because I think he is overvalued and will yield a decent return.

My dream as well.

A straight salary dump where we trade Derrick Favors and No. 30 for nothing would be so, so, deflating. How the **** do you spin that into a positive? Attaching a first round pick to get off a guy that’s only making $9 million and has been a starter or solid rotation player his entire career seems pretty ****ing stupid to me. He is definitely overpaid, but if it comes at the expense of our first rounder with nothing useful coming back, that just doesn’t seem to be a good move.

I’d much rather move Bogey. He is a big contract, but should be moveable for a positive return and really helps luxury tax concerns.

I think we need to just take the Derrick Favors medicine and see if he can redeem himself a bit this season. Trading Derrick for nothing and attaching a pick also just creates another roster hole to be filled by a minimum guy. I am scared rolling into next year with Doke as the backup.

Bogey is the move. Trade him for his younger, cheaper replacement. Or, if you’re feeling lucky and risky, trade him for a pick in the middle of the first and draft his replacement.

The jazz like to show their depth of scouting by drafting obvious second round picks in the first round.

It’s definitely pick your poison type of situation. I agree with a lot of this. However being a huge Favors homer I’m not blind to the fact his contract is terrible for a back up center. But we don’t know how good Dok is at defense. It could be a nightmare and make us way worse on the defensive side of the ball.

And then you have Bogey, he didn’t have his best year, but a full off season could do him wonders and put him back to his 20 points a game. Which could help us big time during close games.

Glad I don’t have to make this decision.

His contract is fine for a backup center. It's just not fine for a backup center to a max center.

I mean if this is true I m not sure why we have to attach a pick to convince someone to take him.
 
backup center money is BAE level or minimum … low end starter would be around MLE. Could Favs be that again? Maybe.

A few backups are worth MLE like Ibaka but they are really timeshare starters.

Now if you have a max salary center is it dumb AF to use MLE on a backup? Yup… especially when you have a huge salary crunch coming.
