You're the GM this offseason. What do you do?

[Ron Mexico]

Russell is eons better than Conley at the same age. Conley in his 4th year and a year old than Russell averaged 13, 6.5 and 3.

Conley is slightly better than Russell is now. I have admitted he is better, but you guys are getting carried away.

Somebody ask Tony Jones. Conley at his salary or Russell at max plus keeping our assets. What does he say?

Yep, plus its a pretty safe bet Conley will be worse next year and even worse the year after, where as Russell will improve each of those years and more. He is so young.

There are only 43 players in NBA history to score 21 points per game or more and shoot over 36% from 3 within their first 4 years in the NBA. Mitchell and Russell are 2 of them, both are much younger than most on the list.

Some people actually think Russell is better than Conley? That's hilarious.

Nobody has said that.

What some are saying is that Russell is the better investment. Which he is.

Does that mean we can trade him to move up for another superstar?

Sorry did U trade lyles for Durant. I thought it was Mitchell

 

[framer]

Which is why Tony Jones speculated the following:

LOL, Timberwolves. . .

It just feels like we are going to get Russell. That is the story that fate is writing. I don't know if it is good or bad, but it is happening. . .

In the very unlikely event that the Lakers give up that much money for one year for Derrick Favors, I think Favors would take the long term guaranteed money over the very good likelihood he is shopped at the deadline once again.

Like I've said before, Favors could decide to stay or he could decide to go. Paying him $18 next season isn't wise. I want to keep him, but not for that. He has to decide how much he wants to stay at a place where he has said he wants to stay.

He’s statistically one of the best centers in the league. I’m sure he loves Utah enough to get messed around and lo called.

I’m not sure what Tony Jones would say. But he’s a journalist and loves chuckers so I’m not sure why you are bringing him up.

 

[David Stern]

If the Jazz decided to stretch Korver’s contract and could dump Exum, they’d have enough room to sign Russell and keep Favors.

Id put it at 5% chance of happening.

The story fate is writing for the Jazz is probably another chapter of "Jazz interested in a bunch of guys and get nobody" if we're being really cynical.

The good thing about a max is that they’re only four years. You typically get at least 1.5-2 years in before the regret, and then you’ve got at least a year of convincing yourself that they’ll have value as an expiring contract. It’s not like the 7-year max AK deals.

Exum wasn’t the max, was three years, and we regretted that **** virtually immediately.

 

[yamers]

Exum deal is pissss, Was a blunder.

Kyrie to the Nets looks more and more likely.

When I play around with the numbers, I can't find a way for Brooklyn to sign Kyrie to a max contract unless they either trade somebody, renounce Russell, or waive/stretch Crabbe (which seems idiotic to burn $6 million the next 3 years).

I really like d-lo. The only sad thing is, favors will be the sacrifice for him because of the stupid Exum signing. Resigning exum was by far the dumbest signing the jazz have done in a while.

 

[infection]

Exum wasn’t the max, was three years, and we regretted that **** virtually immediately.

That’s because it tends to change the calculus when the player you’re talking about has absolutely no impact and is completely ded weight.

I don't think adding Russell means we have to lose Favors.

If Korver retires and we waive/stretch him, we have around $39 million. Russell, if we gave him a full max, would cost $27.

So we could still bring Favors back at around $12 million. He might get more on the open market for a one year deal, but I think we could give him 3 years guaranteed $30-35 million which should beat any other offer. If he walks away from an offer like that, then so be it. We can always say we tried.
