An Olympic Gold or World Cup win would mean more to Joe than an NBA title.Who cares about winning some dumbass FIBA ****? Jesus, get healthy and try to win an NBA title, please.
I would gut the team to sign Tobias Harris. From the 4 spot the only player more skilled is KD (Lebron and Kawhi are 3's). I would also do it to "win the press conference". Sometimes you need to shatter the myth that max free agents wouldn't sign here. That would be a HUGE benefit in the future. Also, I think we can get 3 more good bench players with our exceptions - Room MLE, Exum injury exception, and the AB trade exception.
I don't disagree with your point about shattering the myth, but we lose the AB trade exception as soon as we fall beneath the cap (which we will, to make the Conley trade work). And what is the Exum injury exception you're referring to? I don't think such a thing exists. We only have our cap space, plus the Room MLE, plus whatever else we can do with trades (probably would be Favors and/or Exum if anyone else gets traded).
The more I think about it, the more I want the Jazz to go all in on Randle as Favors replacement. He is only 24 and will be a much better fit and can grow as a core player with Rudy and Donovan.
I think he gets more than Favors and is still shaky from 3. If we are dropping Favors, we need a stretch 4, right?

Aussies are going for Gold.An Olympic Gold or World Cup win would mean more to Joe than an NBA title.
Tony Jones has said a few times on twitter that the Jazz aren't interested in Randle.
I haven’t run the numbers, but I’m skeptical that move does it. If it does, then that’s something that should seriously be considered.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.
He’s probably going back to Europe. As he should. I would love to keep him, though.I've also been thinking that people have been overlooking Udoh as a primary backup center.
If there’s a way to do that, I’m in. I just don’t think there is. Especially if Jimmy doesn’t re-sign and they have nothing else to spend the money on and he can get his shots.I would gut the team to sign Tobias Harris.

I would also rely heavily on the developmental staff to rebuild our depth. And not only that it gives us 5 years (if Donovan and Rudy resign) of being in contention. We kind of build momentum for next year too, because it gives us a fantastic base.

It's not a question of having room. Is that since the Jazz are planning to add Conley into existing cap space (as opposed to doing a trade where the Jazz are over the cap, where salaries have to match to a large extent), they do not get the TPE at all. They will be operating as an under-the-cap team, and under-the-cap teams do not get TPEs.i didn't realize that's how the TPE works; would we be able to add someone with it and still have enough room to add Conley?
Yes, that’s precisely why the room MLE exists (there’s room under the cap).If we waive Favors do we still have the room MLE to use in addition to the $17 million in cap space?
