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

[infection]

I'm honestly don't understand why someone would be in full support of getting Conley and be so utterly disappointed with Love. I admit I haven't watched either one of them play all that much, but to me it seems like acquiring either one should be viewed pretty similarly. Conley is older and more expensive, he might provide a little more defensively at his position but the Jazz are giving up significant size (because of the loss of favors and they are likely starting Crowder at the 4 and DM at the 2). They both have the kind of game that should age okay, but they both have also missed a significant amount of games over the last couple of years. If I'm giving up Favors and filling in so much salary I think I'd rather have Love, because hes's younger, cheaper, and I think he fills a bigger need. I just dont want another old PG rental especially at Conleys price.

I think the biggest issue is that Love has two more years on his deal than Conley. I do think there are some serious advantages to Love that people aren’t recognizing. I think people are concerned about him not being as much of a creator. Bringing him in would probably increase the chance of Ricky coming back, but if you could grab Beverley with the MLE, I think you’d be looking at a top three seed next year.

Everyone is going to be so disappointed when no big FA comes to Utah. I'm prepping myself for it now. It's still going to be a fun and while FA period though!

New dream scenario... The math is very close, but I believe we could trade Jae and a 2020 1st for Dinwiddie and the difference in salary would be enough to give them room to sign KD and Kyrie. They are currently just a couple million short and Jae makes 2.8M less than Spencer.

If we waive Favs, waive and stretch Korver or just waive him and neto, we then have enough to sign Tobias to a max deal. I'm not sure its the ideal fit and we could do other things with that space (maybe just keep Favs and sign another $10-12M FA), but if we could get Brooklyn to agree ahead of time or on July 1 we could then go shopping.

Adding Tobias AND Dinwiddie would be one hell of an offseason

It’s about contract length but moreso type of player. Conley can play alongside basically any starting group... won’t be targeted on defense... can create with the ball in his hand... has good offball value.

Love has defensive issues and isn’t going to create from the perimeter. Shooting is good, passing is good, but he’s not going to provide the thing we need most. If Conley has a 4 year deal I’d have some reservations too but I would probably still think he’s worth it the next two years. Loves production already is well below his contract number imo and that is going to get exponentially worse in the last years of his deal.

It’s okay to get your hopes up and get disappointed... that’s like a lot of life... can’t walk around like Eeyore all sad and gloomy. Agree it will be fun... enjoy the ride all.

I’d settle for one or the other... but yeah it’s a beyond rosy pie in the sky thing I wanted to throw out there.

The Sixers had dinner with Tobias last night. https://www.crossingbroad.com/2019/...last-night.html?amp&__twitter_impression=true

Interesting. You would think that if he was comfortable staying they wouldn't feel the urge to be wooing him.

I think it means Philly knows they need to keep Harris.

Obviously. But it wouldn't be necessary if they felt good about their chances of keeping him.

You can't be let down if you don't expect the world! And you're right, life is definitely full of disappointments. I know that all too well trying to make music my career, lol.

I’ve gotta think that the chance that Tobias stays in Philly goes up significantly if Butler doesn’t (re: Butler going to Brooklyn).

I don’t know... I think they throw out a 5 year max either way. Tough situation to read.
