That’s an interesting comparison. Johnson is more explosive but they have a lot of similarities.
You're the GM this offseason. What do you do?

If Locke is throwing around Cousins name don't be surprised if Cousins, King and Willie Reed make the final roster given the nice writeup in the DN today about Reed.
This is Tyler Dorsey. Still on the market, I think. He'd be a backup guard off the bench similar to an Austin Rivers.
Hi.
I’ve been thinking about a strategy about the Jazz signing the most-tenured, borderline NBA players so that their vet-minimum is substantial, and then down the road, they could be salary for a mid-season trade. I’ll do a deeper dive on this later, but a player like Jose Calderon might be an example.
As part of that plan, if you can trade Exum and whatever other salary for Marvin Williams, you could later trade Marvin Williams and whatever salary for, say Gallinari.
Anyway, goonight

Kyle Korver makes the most sense to me if that’s the plan. It’s interesting for sure

I wonder if Korver will come back. I think he feels a bit betrayed.
For players with 10+ years of experience the vet min salary is the same - 2.56M. But you don't really need that. Exum's salary is 9.6M and Marvin Williams' salary is 15M. All you need to do is get to 10M of outgoing value in order to make the trade for Marvin. Gallinari's salary is 22.62M... you need to get to 17.62M of salary in order to trade for Gallinari. So 1 vet min contract won't do it. You will need 2...
Yep. Except incoming salaries need to be 125% or less, not 150% (so you’d need 12m to match on Marv as oppose to 10m).
Is the maximum number of players 15 plus 2 two-ways? Cuz the Jazz only have 11, currently. I can think of worse ways to fill out the roster on the court without even considering the salary ballast.
Another game-changing, high salary vet out there is Iguodala. Also someone decent on the Knicks will shake loose as their experiment will obviously go poorly.
