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

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.

They aren't the brightest front office. They continually waste picks.

They also have a rookie GM and may have been planning on letting Jimmy leave... the playoffs may be a bit eye opening there. I think there is a chance they throw 5 year max there... but it’s not a given.

Same could be said about our front office. Lindsey has wasted a ton trying to get a PG and sold a few others.

Right name all the misses but none of the successes. And there were plenty. There is not one gm in the league that can say they have more wins than fails.
 
Trying to think out of the box a little. The moves I’m thinking of makes us super deep, we don’t get that max level guy everyone wants but the moves in proposing, covers most of our weaknesses. Gives us athleticism, shooting and more perimeter defense. Only problem is we may not be able to afford these moves. Cap Gurus, please chime in.

Mitchell. Exum. Allen
Danny Green. O’Neale
Bojan Bogdanovic. Ingles
Crowder. Niang
Gobert. Dedmon

Can we afford Bog, Green, and Dedmon if we don’t resign Rubio, Favors, Neto, Udoh, Thabo?

If so, does this make us a contender? On paper I love this roster. My one concern is can we afford this, is this a practical offseason haul?

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.

I’m not sure I follow you. The Jazz shot the most wide-open threes of the entire playoffs in that series and just clanked the hell out of them.

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.

It also means jack **** when you can’t play lineups with 4 or more shooters because you have to give minutes to Rubio and Favors. It also means jack **** when everyone misses their open shots for basically an entire playoff series. I don’t think that happens to teams that are legit with their shooting.
 
I hate to bring this up again, but what in the hell was Dinwiddie doing signing a $3 year/$34 million extension this year?! I get that he was healthy and wanted to lock in the deal, but I have to think someone like the Jazz would've given him a $45-$50 million deal over 3 years. The Jazz could've done that and still had space to retain Favors for those who love him (or sign someone else like maybe Mirotic). That seems like that would've been a great route to go to add two impactful players.
