Oh for sure, but moving Favors only saves you 9 million in salary plus w/e the tax savings are. Is that really enough? If it is, I'm 100% cool with it.

If you do that and don't use the taxpayer MLE its a lot of salary and tax. Its also the 1.1M savings in the difference of the 1st and 2nd round salary. You are looking at 10M in savings and 35M in tax savings. Bill goes down to 20ish million from 60ish million.
 
Seems like there will be lots of trades this year
If Jazz do nothing what will that mean? :mad: :mad:

I don't know. I wish I knew what the financial goals were. Per dollar I think the value you're getting out of Bojan is significantly higher that would justify that pay differential. At least in terms of how hard it is to replace that value. If we trade Favors, I'm not concerned about being able to replace the value, whereas losing Bojan could be a big adjustment that may leave us a lot thinner in depth without his 30+ MPG.

Conley's number matters in this quite a bit... early I was hearing TJ say 15-20M... I think it will be closer to 25M the way the market is headed.

It would be one of the more justifiable times that there literally weren't available deals to be done, and the reason we'd be in that predicament would be of our own making because we continued to pretend deals weren't there to be done for a few years now, and thus it was somewhat of a self-fulfilling prophecy... or at least a situation where someone is complaining about being in a situation that they're not in, but after continually complaining about it, they then find themselves in it.

If Lonzo Ball is looking open to Indiana, I would bail on Conley and get Ball. Maybe even a 3 way where we send Conley to Indiana, Brogdan to NOP, and Ball here.
 
You can probably nab some guys at the minimum that help fill the gaps... I've named a bunch of dudes before... Abdel Nader, Langston Galloway types... there are guys that slip through the cracks. We can use full taxpayer MLE if something awesome is there... I have never really believed we would use it or that it was a certainty we would use it.

You're talking to a guy who has already given as much emotional investment in this thing as he can. He's capped (no pun intended). I'm just gonna spit out stuff and we're gonna make it work. It's not my job to make it work. I'm just the idea man.

 
Bogey for draft pick and draft pick + Favors for a useful player is the dream for me.

If it’s one or the other, I still prefer Bogey because I think he is overvalued and will yield a decent return.

Hell of a regular season team. Doesn't win a chip though, as constituted, and you'd know that going in.

Nah, not at all. Every team needs luck to win at the end of the day. The Bucks only won the Chip because Durant's big *** foot stepped on a line.

The Jazz have enough talent to win it all as constituted.

I respectfully disagree, unless a much more significant amount of luck were to strike, than what the Bucks got.

Running this back makes you the belle of the regular season ball, is all..........................IMO.
 
No trades. We draft McBride then overpay to keep Conley.
 
Jazz have scouted the living joy out of the 2nd round this year. Makes it seem likely the Jazz will make moves in the 2nd round again. Remember, the Jazz co-hosted a 4-day Combine in Minnesota where they helped recruit 40+ prospects and helped run the workouts.

BTW, Vrenz was part of that Combine, and he did well enough there to add 10 more team workouts to his itinerary.

My dream as well.

A straight salary dump where we trade Derrick Favors and No. 30 for nothing would be so, so, deflating. How the **** do you spin that into a positive? Attaching a first round pick to get off a guy that’s only making $9 million and has been a starter or solid rotation player his entire career seems pretty ****ing stupid to me. He is definitely overpaid, but if it comes at the expense of our first rounder with nothing useful coming back, that just doesn’t seem to be a good move.

I’d much rather move Bogey. He is a big contract, but should be moveable for a positive return and really helps luxury tax concerns.

I think we need to just take the Derrick Favors medicine and see if he can redeem himself a bit this season. Trading Derrick for nothing and attaching a pick also just creates another roster hole to be filled by a minimum guy. I am scared rolling into next year with Doke as the backup.

Bogey is the move. Trade him for his younger, cheaper replacement. Or, if you’re feeling lucky and risky, trade him for a pick in the middle of the first and draft his replacement.

The jazz like to show their depth of scouting by drafting obvious second round picks in the first round.
