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

Just noticed that the Lakers guaranteed Caruso. That kind of sucks.

Do you mean extended the QO?

 

[idiot]

Yeah, cuz they’re not trading Ingles.

By the way, I’m calling out Tony’s double-speak: ‘Bogdonavic is the only guy the Jazz would waive Favors for.’
‘The Jazz are very interested in *a bunch of free agents that are worth the full MLE or higher*’

BOTH. THINGS. CAN’T. BE. TRUE.

I read it initially as Tony meaning that Bogdonavic is the only guy the Jazz would consider waiving Favors for if only one player was coming back. If the Jazz got Mirotic, for example, I think they'd expect that also they'd be able to get someone else with part of Favors's vacated salary spot. But they'd consider Bogie on a 1-1 salary swap.

Where did he say they would only waive Favors for Bogdanovic? I missed that.

In his Q&A today, he said that the Jazz have interest in Mirotic, Bojan, and Thad. He said if they let Favors go for one player, it would be Bojan. But for Mirotic and Thad they would only let Favors go if they signed additional players for depth using that 18.8mil in space. Not sure where the double speak is.

Q: Would the Jazz pass on Favors if they could get Bojan?
A: I believe he's the one guy on the market they can get for 17 that would make them do that

Cool.

If you could get Portis for 10 to 12 million, that would be amazing. I think 15 is the magic number that chases Washington away though.

My thought would be to trade for Ilyasova and a pick from Milwaukee. Then, sign Portis for about $11 (which is the space we will have after trading for Ilyasova).

To me, Ilyasova + Portis > Favors. Plus, they would both be on more than expiring deals. Passing on free agency this summer to keep expiring Favors could be risky. O'Neale will get extended and we won't have much money next summer. We need to get long term value now that we have made the bold move of getting Conley.

Cool.

That's a fun way to say, "I was wrong."

Fun read. This is such a great year to have cap space, playing time and a shot to compete to offer....

Odds of the FO rolling into FA without any meetings set up because they’re still paralyzed by this decision?

I mean don’t you have the meetings in order to make that decision?


I think they have it backwards. Like trying to figure out if you should quit your job before setting up the new job interview.
