Jazz need to take on a salary dump player

Is seems to me this is the PERFECT year for the Jazz to take on a salary dump.

The main reason being we don't NEED to bring in any free agents this year and we will still have a competitive team. It looks like we are going to stand pat in brining in any significant new pieces and i'm totally fine with that.

We have cap space and this is one of the last years thats going to mean anything.

We are close to making the playoffs and a decent vet backup thats a salary dump could sure up our bench and potentially push us into the playoffs.

I'd love to see us trade away our non guaranteed contracts and try to bring in a salary dump and a small future asset from a handful of teams trying desperately to move salary so they can sign one of the near max guys.

I hope the Jazz are out there talking with the spurs, rockets, heat, hawks, and whoever else might need to clear some room.
 
I disagree. This is the year to add a quality player to the playoff rotation. This trade deadline (or next) will be the time to move some assets for a star IF they can find one worth pulling the trigger on.

Next year, after solidifying the rotation and having the salary cap bump up and put every team on equal ground is the year to take on a cap dump and restock some assets. They key is that the Jazz are in a position to try to make a move at the deadline with all those draft picks.
 
Since they apparently refuse to even try anything else in free agency and this has always been the case, then yeah. Sure.

I'm going to take on the attitude of the Jazz organization with regard to free agency and just be a defeatist too. The Jazz aren't signing anyone that's even 4th tier (rotation player).

I hate to buy into Hack's free agency philosophy, but I just want to hear SOMETHING, SOMETIME, about them merely ****ing TRYING to add an actual good player when they have the chance. There's a point where patience turns into falling asleep and I get that feeling too often.

And who is that player?

Teams are not going to need to do salary dumps in the next couple years like they do now. Everyone will have space once the cap does the huge jump.
 
Danny Green just got a little over 11 million per year.

I wish we could have nabbed him for 13 per.

He took less to stay and help open the doors for Aldridge.
He could have found more money if he wanted to.

He could have got way more then 13 million, he just wanted to stay with the Spurs. Carroll just got 4 years 60 million. We aren't going to give out that kind of money to players that would fight to even start for us.

We don't know how much $$$ he was being offered. Everyone has a price.

Why Green would turn down 11 mill to go to a team to make slightly more with a crowded back-court and a worse-offensive system, when there's a good probability that he'll be playing with LMA, Kawhi, and Parker is beyond me.

Yep, he wanted to compete for a championship. Jazz are building a nice team, but Green probably has a bigger role on SAS and will win more. He'd be crazy to go to the Jazz even for a couple million more.

Because the history of the world shows us people like money.
 
How is playing with LMA a positive thing?

Do y'all not know how he plays?

He is a ball-stopper who just chucks midrange jump shots of varying difficulty level and doesn't play defense. I'm going to laugh when the Spurs can't teach him ball movement.
 
I am not in favor of a "salary dump" trade this year. I'd be OK with standing pat or signing a player that makes the Jazz better. Just no more dead weight.

Spurs, the team that got bounced in the 1st round this past year. Their days are over, I'm confident in that fact.

Every dynasty has their end. Spurs will make the playoffs for a few more years, but it will always be early exits.
