Wing targets next summer?

I'm targeting Burks, Hood, and Winslow (cause that is who will be there when we draft.)

This.
We have Hood and Burks returning from injury. Ingles is a decent backup, too, with his pass-first mentality. I'd include any guard not named Exum (too early to give up on him) and/or a future pick to move up for Johnson or Russell. But that's unlikely to happen. So re-sign Kanter to keep our dominant big rotation intact and go after a wing or PG with our pick. That could be Hezonja or Winslow.

DL will certainly kick the tires and give a call to Matthews and DMC. But it's unlikely either would give up their current gig to come to Utah.
 
Depends on who we draft. We ain't getting Kwahi he will get max from San Antonio. The guy I might pursue is Danny Green. He's going to get paid big time as well but is unrestricted and I think SA has big plans. I won't say what I think it would cost to get him because some (prolly the loud minority) on jazzfanz don't understand what is going to happen to the cap and the premium teams are paying for shooting and good wings right now.

Burks' contract stopped us from signing two max players? K.

Hayward's contract is the one to be compared to those other 2, not Burks'. The point is which one of those 3 players you feel better about paying the max? Hayward, Butler or Kawhi? You're not getting the 3 of them lol.

I said I was dreaming.

Yes, without Burks' contract the Jazz would have been sitting at $38mm, giving them $28.5mm in room. They could get rid of Novak's one year as easy as they got it, putting them right at two max contracts if not damn near there.

I would have preferred not extending Burks and keeping their options open like San Antonio did with Kawhi. A cap hold is much lower than the current cap hit, if nothing else.

We need a reliable shooter who can play.

What about the dude from Golden State? I doubt they'll be able to afford him now. I hear he can guard all five positions and he's shooting damn well. That might be a product of the GS system getting him wide open catch n jacks though.

Golden State can afford him. The owners are very good, will go into LT I bet.

They are keeping him... They may look to move AI or Barnes though for money reasons. Barnes doesn't do much for me though I'd like to see him on a team that gave him more opportunity.

They may try to attach assets to Lee to alleviate the burden, but there is no way they let Green go. I hate Green so much, but if he was on our team he's be one of my favorites fo sure.
 
A healthy Kawhi on the Jazz. Holy ****! Exum, Hayward, Kawhi, Favors, Gobert=best defense in the NBA. I would max Kawhi so fast it wouldn't even be funny. Kawhi is a 3pt threat, lock-down defender (who creates steals), superb rebounder, finals MVP, and a great competitor. It's a pipe dream because SA will max his ***.

And there is no way SA is going to let him go.
