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

[infection]

Wtf you smoking! Favs was our best player in the playoffs this year.

He said he couldn’t get off the bench on the playoffs... he played as much as Favors did in the playoffs. Look it up.

 

[Christian]

Trade Exum, get a stretch 4 and roll with favors and our new stretch 4. Favors is a talent we are very lucky to have. He’s consistent, loyal and doesn’t complain at all. He’s a great teammate and he puts up good numbers. We should clear up some money by trading guys that are always injured. I don’t hate Exum, I just feel like he could maybe start over with a different franchise. We need to seriously think before we move favors. We already have a potential Big 3 (depending on how DM plays and if Conley can stay healthy) we should think about adding to what we have, and not put our effort into fixing something that’s not broke. Stretch 4 who can sub in and out with favors, back up pg and maybe a cheap wing. We have Favors for very cheap. If we feel crumby about losing Crowder, imagine how we will feel after we lose Favors. We have the starting lineup, now let’s focus on our depth.

I accidentally left Brooklyn off. My bad.

I'm just not sold every guy expecting max this summer is gonna get max. If Brooklyn gets Kyrie and KD, I don't think NY is spending max on anybody. I also think Indy will keep their many parts rather than let them walk for one guy like Tobias.

I don't think we can predict anything this year which is why I say it's possible Tobias might come here for slightly below the max. So many variables.

Harris is getting he max somewhere. He ain’t coming to the Jazz for less.

 

[Stoked]

I trade for Conley, keep Neto for depth, keep an eye open for Favors for depth options. Then I pray to God/Shiva/Buddha/Allah/BBallGod that the Jazz are blessed with team wide health.

Jazz in 6, NBA champions

I wouldn't call $17 million "very cheap", especially when you consider he only plays 23 minutes a game.

I enjoy the anti-Niko takes...
Couldn't get off the bench in the playoffs

-Played 21 minutes per game in 14 games... playing SF a handful of nights on a brand new team. He had a slump at the wrong time... it happens.
-Also, played 36 minutes last year in the western conference playoffs averaging 15 and 10 with 48/43/79 shooting splits.


Favs played 20.6 minutes per game in the playoffs. He was really good. You can argue swapping the two guys straight up makes us worse... but Niko will make less and we can sign him to a long term deal... people acting like he worthless... he's a viable option and would be our 5th best player in the starting lineup.

Niko had a bad playoffs, it happens. Mitchell set some record lows on PER himself in the playoffs and we aren't bashing him. Niko is worth looking at if his contract will be at a discount. If you're always buying high and selling low you will never win anything in the NBA.

 

[Revolution 9]

What about a combo of Jeremy Lamb and Trevor Ariza. We'd have room to give Lamb approx. 4/51M with 5% raises and Trevor a 2/15M and change... if we found a taker for Bradley and waived Neto.

Lamb could be the super sub and is young so he can grow with the group... could finish games if we need creation or be a quality starter if any of Conley, DM, or Ingles are hurt. Ariza becomes your starting stretch 4 and gives the 3 and D elements we need with the 5th starter... not as good of a shooter as we'd probably want but he's as good as crowder.

Royce/Niang provide the backup stretch 4 minutes. Use room exception on backup center.

Decent additions for sure! Can they both be had, or just one? We only have the MLE, and pocket change right?

If they keep Favors they have the ROOM MLE (not the full) and the BAE. Each is partitioned and worth $4.7 million. The scenario above could only happen if they waive Favors.

 

[TheStormofWar]

The jazz should have done a sign and trade with Rubio for Sabonis and a pick. We could have gotten some key pieces if we did that with Rubio! And save a ton of money!

We don't get Conley then. Jazz are taking Conley into some capspace and needed to release Ricky's hold to make the trade happen.

 

[LoPo]

As of today 6/25, I think our remaining off-season will be...

- keep Neto
- keep Favors
- sign Carroll or Green (Room MLE)
- keep Thabo

We will probably sign some other minimum contract type guy. Deng, Jerekbo, Caruso, somebody.

Favors isn't a lock, per Tony Jones. I figure the Jazz can generate close to $26m by releasing Neto, Thabo, and Favors if I'm understanding the situation right. It literally depends on if the Jazz can find players in FA that will come in a team friendly contract that are better.

I understand. I was just making my prediction as of today.

If we waive Neto, Favors, Rubio, Thabo, and Udoh, we have around $18 million after the Conley trade.
