Jazz Free Agency Summer of 2018

Houston and Portland got worse. Denver blew a bunch of money, OKC is paying 300 million for the same team as last year and Lakers have yet to accomplish anything.

It’s been a fantastic free agency for Utah so far and we haven’t don’t anything lol.
 
I’m going to go very unconventional here but...

Dwight Howard on a 1+1. I’m probably the biggest Dwight hater of all time, dating back to his Orlando days. Fake superstar, mentally weak, and the opposite of Jazz DNA. He didn’t work with Kobe because Kobe had to have seen through his lack of discipline and lack of toughness. All that said, I think this may be an interesting option for a few reasons.

We’re thinking about adding guys who can play wing or 4 and bring some offense. Looking at a C isn’t really something we’re doing. I know we view Favors as a good Gobert insurance but we weren’t very good with Favors at C. Aside from Gobert, we don’t have a strong rebounder. I love both Udoh and Jerebko, but their offensive limitations makes it hard together, especially as there’s no offensive in the second unit.

Dwight is now at the point where he’s been forgotten and would be underrated. I wouldn’t want him as a main cog, but he’d allow us to run (effectively) the same kind of defense without Gobert. We can do the same if we run Udoh as the backup (which is what I favor in most scenarios), but Dwight can bring more offense and lots and lots more rebounding. It would make an even better pairing with Jerebko or even signing Bertans. Hell, trade Bradley for a S&T of Bertans and something else.

If we have someone like Jabari at the 4, it makes it imperative to have a strong rebounder on the floor for 48 minutes.

Flame away.

No. We need to go young.
 
And Napier and Connaughton most likely. So basically their bench.

I thought their owner would spend... 4.4 to lose DAVIS? Cheap bastard.
