Dennis Lindsey: We will be VERY active in free agency

[seattlejazzfan]

Right at the time it happened I wasn't a huge fan of the Hill trade because I knew one of the two guys I liked in the draft would be there at #12. However, as I've had time to think about it, I've become a huge fan of the trade. Hill is a great fit on this team.

Then they drafted Bolomboy who - I realize I have my Jazz glasses on - but honestly I feel JB is a first round talent. I can't think of a 4 in the draft (other than maybe Simmons) that is clearly a better player than JB right now. There are guys who have more upside, of course, but put them on a court right now, he may not be better, but he's not worse. and the Jazz want to win now.

Johnson - never been a big fan, and at 35 he's older than dirt, but he's exactly what the Jazz needed - a 3/4 combo who can switch and can shoot the three and has done it consistently for 5+ years.

Hill
Bolomboy
Johnson

That's a really good off-season even if nothing else gets done.

It will be interesting to see what happens next. Of the current guys who might be moved:

Ingles - free agent in 2017 restricted
Pleiss - free agent in 2018 restricted
Burke - free agent in 2017 restricted
Chris Johnson - free agent in 2017 unrestricted
Mack - free agent in 2017 unrestricted
Neto - free agent in 2018 - restricted
Withey - free agent in 2017 unrestricted

I think Withey will stay - he played well (when he actually played - mainly when Gobert was injured). CJ is gone. HOPEFULLY we trade Burke and Pleiss. I think we would keep Ingles unless another team was interested. And although Mack outplayed Neto, Neto has a great contract where he's a RFA. It was be surprising if we kept both Mack and Neto but perhaps they would keep Mack around to appease Hayward.

I like the JJ pick up. If anything he makes our bench better than last year. And just adding that should = more wins.

I assumed we'd have more coming in by way of picks or something with the outstanding details of the Hill trade, but I'm starting to wonder if we don't lose a player or two once that gets done.

FWIW, I'd love to pick up Gasol to back up Gobert. I like Withey, but Gasol would obviously be a great upgrade off the bench with instant offense.

 

[NUMBERICA]

Do the Jazz have enough cap left to make a run at Meyers Leonard that would force Portland to let him walk or **** them over?

 

[NUMBERICA]

Gasol ain't coming off the bench.

 

[Goodluckchuck]

I would love Gasol. That guy has heart and plays balls to the wall. Never understood why he wasn't liked in LA. I would sit any of our five to start him on our team.

Still 50, 60, maybe 70 free agents left
Still a long way to go to sign them all
Some will be out of jobs to rookies though

 

[Joe Bagadonuts]

If Utah is a turnoff for minorities, Boston has to be as well. Especially for a guy from the Dominican republic who played college ball in Florida.

Have you ever been to Boston? It's an awesome town. People who like urban environments will love it there, regardless of skin color.

 

[Joe Bagadonuts]

I sure as hell don't want to live in Boston. . .

Why not?

 

[Rgiss]

Vertical Sources: Hawks still shopping Paul Millsap now, working contingencies should Horford want to stay. Sides still apart on contract.

 

[slc]

So does Bolomboy make team now that Booker is gone?

Seems kind of retarded. Millsap/Howard is a good fit. Howard/Horford? Seems bad.

Besides Millsap is just the overall better player.

I think it depends on how he does in SL, then how he plays in training camp and preseason.

I fully expect him to play well and make the team.

I'm going to agree with Cy here... Which means he'll probably change his mind.

I heard a theory them saying they want Horford back is a front to not seem so cold. The millsap trade rumors seem to suggest otherwise.

 

[Doc Cherno]

Gasol ain't coming off the bench.

Don't bust my chops for a lack of link, but I read a couple of places he'd come off the bench for the right situation...
