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

I'm about 80% convinced that Tobias Harris is coming to the Jazz after seeing what is going down in Philly. While part of me says "Great! Bring it!" another part thinks he isn't really our greatest need. I'm pretty sure I would rather have Jimmy Butler (if that were an option.)

I think it's all going to come down to weather or not Philly is willing to offer him the 5 year max, if they do I don't think he'll turn it down.

That is pretty easy. Philly is not going to offer him the 5 year max. Nor, probably, should they.

Tobias Harris is about as good a fit offensively as we could hope for in this system. He’s got skills in every facet of the offensive game that we could utilize

Kyle Korver: One of the best spot up shooters in league history

Joe Ingles: Career 40.8% 3 point shooter. 44% in both 16/17 and 17/18

Thabo Sefolosha: 43.6% from 3 this season

Donovan Mitchell: 36.2% from 3 on 6.7 attempts per this season. Could shoot an even higher percentage if someone else could create and score off the bounce/be an offensive threat.

Royce O'neale: 38.6% from 3 this year

Jae Crowder: Not a great 3 point shooter overall but he is very good on spot up 3's above the break

Hell even Georges shot 41% in limited time.

We have guys who can shoot. It just means jacks*** when the defense isn't threatened by anyone but Donovan going off on them.

Sorry but Jae Crowder isn’t “very good” at above the break 3s

Of course we didn't shoot well vs Houston. Because Donovan was the only one who is a threat to break anyone down off the dribble. He's the only one that they actually had worry about guarding. Other than that they could just stay in front and play basic defense on everyone else. One way to create spacing is to have players who can break defenders down off the dribble.

You can have 5 spot up shooters on the floor at once and they wouldn't shoot for **** if none of them can create their own offense off of the dribble.

You are discounting the fact that we lead the NBA in open 3 point shots per game in the playoffs. We didnt hit those open shots anywhere close to our averages. We created the shots we wanted and got in the regular season but didnt hit them, plain and simple. It is incorrect to say people could just stay home on their guy because they didnt. They left our shooters open and they missed.

The Jazz front office is bound and determined to pick up a shooter or two as they know that will take them to the next level. We don't want no head cases or ISO dummies, we need SHOOTERS, plain and simple. They are out there somewhere.

Agreed, which is why Rubio is such a bad fit on our team and not a winning player in the NBA ever in his career. He cant shoot and he likes to iso, shoot poorly, or run the pick and roll at low efficiency since he still cant throw a reasonable lob to a big.

I'm not so sure. I doubt they gave up two first round picks and Landry Shamet for a 3 month rental of Tobias. I think they'll be willing to do whatever it takes to keep him.
