You're the GM this offseason. What do you do?

David Locke tears apart the Dlo Russell idea in his podcast with Tony Jones. He's incredibly inefficient. He's in the 13th percentile at finishing at the rim and never gets to the free throw line. He had a 98% usage rate last year. He thinks he wouldn't help the Jazz.

He's right, and i don't like the idea of Russell either for the same reasons, but devil's advocate would point out he's 23, so far from a finished product, and has improved every year. TS% was 53%- not good. About the same as Mitchell. If he can get that to 56% 57%, we might have something.

Ha, that's actually a pretty good trade idea. Seems like a win for everyone. I'd be surprised if Memphis could get a better offer than 2 1st round picks and an expiring contracts.

Brooklyn could keep Russell and sign a max free agent
Memphis replaces Conley's $32 million with only $22 million in contracts and they get 2 1sts
Utah gets Conley for Korver, a 1st and cap space

I'm not really excited about Conley, but I could stomach it if it happens for a trade like this.

If we were to guarantee everyone (including Favors) and renounce our three FA, we'd have about $13 Million in cap space. We could sign Jabari and then trade Favors+Korver+Niang and maybe another first for Conley. That could be a really good offseason for us.

The Royce, DM, Ingles, Crowder, Rudy lineup was a +21 per 100 possesions this year in 100+ minutes... sub Jae out and Tobias in... it's over.

This ^^^

As much as I LOVE Favors, it’s an imperfect fit. I’d try to keep him first (and move Exum instead) but the priority needs to be trying to convince Tobias Harris to come to the Jazz.

Not only does it give Utah a versatile forward (and a near All Star caliber offensive player to team with Rudy and Donovan) but it would also go a long way towards showing that Utah is a good place for free agents to consider down the road.

Mitchell, O’Neale, Jingles, Harris and Gobert is a great (young) starting lineup to work with. If Harris takes a jump with a stable situation and a bigger role and it could be something special.
 
Seems to me like most of these trade ideas have us trading mediocre players for other mediocre players! However, our mediocre plays know our system in and out.....come cheaper and are improving from year to year! Plus they want to stay in Utah and play for the Jazz! They are "comfortable" with our system and coaching staff and just need a few better shooters on the squad to make the next step toward the top!
 
My bold prediction: Harris will be re-signed by Philly. Lindsey will try like crazy to salvage his legacy by trading for Conley - and will fail. Zanik steps in and signs Jabari. If you can't build a champion, at least ensure a full arena and record-setting merchandise sales. Zanik continues to "win the press conference" by signing Jimmer to the room exception.

As for PG, the return of Shelvin Mack will be glorious to behold.
