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

A) the Jazz aren’t close to having a max slot

A/B) The Jazz would have to move Ingles' contract to open up a max slot.
C) The Clippers will need to move Gallinari's contract to open up a 2nd max slot.
 
You know what? I'm in... lets do it. I'm sick of watching people blaming players for not fitting, coaches for not having the balls to bench players that supposedly don't deserve to be on the floor. I'm sick of this constant search of the perfect fit BS. We fixed the PG fit... I don't want another year where we scapegoat a player that doesn't deserve it. Let Favors go and lets see what this team can do without any excuses and without scapegoats to blame. Lets see what this team can do with the perfect fitting players that are supposed to solve all/most our problems.

Waive Favors. Get Mirotic for as little money as possible and lets go.

Oh there will be another scapegoat. You can bet the farm on that. And I agree with you 100%
 
Here's my thing. The Jazz have some very good analytics guys. The more data they have, the better they seem to be in nailing which players will be a good addition. They may miss on a mystery like Tony Bradley, but give them a few years of data in the g league or euroleague, they seem to know what's up.

That being said, the Jazz have always been lukewarm towards Mirotic. They have all the stats, all the analysis, everything they need. It tells me right where they value him. That valuation is probably pretty accurate.

I think if we get Mirotic by dropping Favors, it will be because he is the b-side of the deal they really want. He will be the second player. I don't think his salary and playing demands fit into that model. We aren't dropping Favors in a situation where Mirotic is the meat of what we get back.
What are the analytics they’re seeing on Exum, then? IIRC, he’s the worst analytics player ever.

Now you’re talkin’!
 
Here’s another wrinkle to Niko: if you sign him, Udoh can be your primary backup C. Dead serious.
