Jazz Free Agency Summer of 2018

Philly just lost 2 of there major players. 2 of the shooters that made Simmons look good. Simmons unless philly finds new shooters, he will be exposed next year.

To keep Favors, we'll probably only have to beat a MLE deal.

Do we want to squeeze our own free agents? Kind of creates bad blood. Hard to imagine Favors being motivated by playing for way less than his current contract. The guy wants to get paid or at least get a fair deal (remember that emoji last year? the one with big eyes after the first contracts were handed out). A one year deal (or even two) could work for both parties (starting at something closer to his current salary).

He was exposed by Boston. This will only add to that. Philly got worse

I think they think they're gonna get LeBron.

With PG re-upping in OKC this becomes even more of a likelihood..

No one else is lining up to sign him to 12 mil a year. He's going to get less. He's got injury history and he doesnt have a outside shot. 10 per for 2 or 3 years is my guess.

West just keeps getting stronger and east all watches.

I was disappointed that Rudy Gay, Marco Belinelli (spurs), Ersan Illysova (Bucks) and Ariza (Suns) all went so fast.

If LeBron goes to a western team the league has to kill an east/west playoff formate right?

No way he signs for 3 years for that money. 10-12M or even more on a 1year or 2 year deal (like Millsap's) is plausible. I don't buy what others are suggesting: no one has cap space, therefore squeeze the guy and offer him the MLE or less. That's not how the Jazz do business.
 
LeBron is definitely staying East now. I have a feeling he is in 'prove it' mode with the Lakers, who are failing majestically. I'm betting he does another small 1+1 or so.

Also, I think the Lakers have the ability to throw an offer Exum's way. Remember who LA's GM is now? Yeah... And they'll probably try to shed salary to keep their two max slots open for next year. UNLESS LeBron decides to team with Boogie... which sounds like a dumpster fire.

For the Jazz, this has been a really good free agency. They've got leverage on their own FA's and cash to chase RFA's.
