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

The wizards value favors over Portis which is why they tried to get him in trade talks with jazz ultimately breaking down and sending him to Chicago instead for Portis. Portis wants about 16 mil cause he turned down an extension in Chicago which is another reason for him being traded to Washington. Wizards don’t want to pay that much and are about to lose both their forwards for nothing. A sign and trade gives them two decent forwards in ingles and favors to replace the guys they are going to lose either way. It’s not a gamble on whether or not you get an RFA if they do a sign and trade. Maybe get them to throw in a pick and we got three young forwards to replace an aging one and one that is great but doesnt fit.

Satoranski, portis and first round pick for favors and Exum

I think we should offer the wiz a sign and trade sending Favors and Ingles for Portis Parker and Rui (10th pick). Then use our room exception on Wes Matthews and keep Sef and Raul.

Conley/Exum/Neto
Mitchell/Mathews
O’Neal/Niang/Sefolosha
Portis/Parker/Rui
Gobert/Bradley

That would be dope too! I like satoranski and Washington may not pony up the cash for him so voila sign and trade. I like the rookie they picked up Rui and would love to snag him as a side chip in a deal.

I dont think that Ben Simmons will ever improve his jumper significantly. He doesn't think he needs too. He has the attitude that he's great already and doesn't need to improve his weaknesses.

From Tony Jones' Q&A on The Athletic

Just so I can sleep at night and not have too much FOMO. If this trade had never happened, what would you have said the Jazz’s percentage odds were at landing D’Angelo Russel? Or Harris?
Very good for Harris. I would go far enough to say the Jazz were frontrunners for him. Less for Russell. I think the Pacers lead there. But the Jazz would have had a nice chance for him as well

So was the jazz the leader for Harris?
I think so

You just quoted Jones saying what he thinks, not Harris saying it?

The player isn't gonna say what he thinks before free agency starts. But I think you're underestimating the stuff that good reporters hear from agents, players, and teams. I don't think he's just guessing randomly. There has been Tobias to Utah smoke for like two years. Either way, Conley was Utah's #1 priority anyway.

Something like that makes sense. The Wiz are in cap hell with no hopes or improving or even retaining their guys (especially if they pick up Jabari' s option).

If you can get Bjelica with Exum (and a nominal asset?), then maybe Philly would be remotely interested in a Favors/Bjelica S&T since they need a stretchy 4 pretty badly.

Was Philly the team he committed to last year before bailing?

It's the room MLE, which is about 4.8M

Ok, sorry, thought you had in mind the regular MLE.
