Roster Building From Here - FA and Summer of 2023

[Step-Back Hook]

I'm always impressed with Wendell Carter Jr whenever I watch him. I'm not sure how we would swing that, but I'd love to have them on the Jazz.

His 3pt shooting has also become decent. We need to swing that just to make Bulls fans even more in agony.. Having three former rebuilding Bulls members in our championship team of Utah would be glorious.

It's very true Dame's contract is not cheap and that's a problem for some teams.
There are cheaper and younger PG's like Killian Hayes, Lamelo Ball etc for sure who might be available if the trade offer is legit and serious.

Well ya see, the problem with Killian Hayes is that he’s not good.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I am not an expert on Troy Brown but based on the prospect he was coming into the league and how much he’s grown as a shooter, I think he could be worth kicking the tires on. Will only be 24 next year and it feels to me like he might have another level to him as he’s had some big games this year but has also faded some in the presence of the Lakers’ tumult.

I’m particularly interested in his ability to connect an offense since that was one of his most intriguing attributes coming into the league.

I dont think he has that anymore. think he's a pretty meat and potatoes 3&D player who is passable enough at both to survive.

Well ya see, the problem with Killian Hayes is that he’s not good.

Only what i know of Hayes is that he was part of fight vs Magic earlier this season and got suspended on it.
But what reasons are making Hayes ''not that good'' is he total a-hole in locker-room or something else negative.

And how about Lamelo Ball?
Hornets aren't going anywhere with their team and rumors are telling Jordan is ready to sell Hornets.
Lamelo is still playing meanwhile his older brother ( Lonzo ) is close to get medically retired due to chronic knee injury / problems.
But if younger Ball finds himself into Utah Jazz then Lavar Ball and his clown circus will be there too.

Lavar Ball is probably biggest and most arrogant clown what i know in this planet.
I still remembering Lavar's interview from 2017 NBA draft when he was hyping Lonzo and look where Lonzo is now.

Who else young / experienced / veteran PG's could be good trade targets for Jazz if Lillard and Doncic won't be available and Ainge doesn't have interest to get Lamelo Ball.
Only names who came my mind are SGA and Tyrese Haliburton but both won't be available at all.

THT/Dunn
Ochai/Sexton
Lauri/Simone
Olynyk/Gay/Samanic
Walker/Jones

That seems like our roster for next year as far as players under contract.

11 players. 3 draft picks. That only let's us sign one player in free agency, which I'm assuming the Jazz want to be Clarkson. The Jazz might not be as aggressive in free agency as I thought.

I think THT showed enough late in the season that some team might consider trading for him since the 23/24 season is his last on contract too.

THT/Gay/Jones all have player options and KO/Dunn are non-guaranteed or partial guaranteed. If we need to make some roster spots we can.

He has a player option he would have to opt in first.

Jazz arent going to waive KO. Gay/THT/Jones arent opting out.

You don’t think THT is going to? I think there is a really good shot that he does.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

If we was going to opt out why would he agree to sit out? Wouldnt he want to continue to raise his value with another big performance?

One singular game is not going to change his contract. GM’s look at the totality of his season and career.

There is zero chance those 11 players start the season with the Jazz next year. I would guess three or four will be packaged as part of small-medium trades including similar players and/or draft picks.

I would agree that's it a very low chance, but not impossible.

I think Luka/Gay/Jones/Simone are all guys that could be cut/waived or moved in other deals as salary cap filler. I would bet at least 1 of them isn't on the roster opening night and bet 2 of them are gone by midseason.

KO/THT/Sexton are guys I could see getting moved if we wanted to consolidate a bit and have an opportunity to get a better player. Most likely they are on the roster... but no guarantees.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

I also think if Gay is not moved in the offseason that he will be waived or bought out. We will have enough other options under contract and be flexible enough with cap space that we no longer need his contract to match salaries elsewhere.

Fair enough.....it was "That seems like our roster for next year...." that threw me off.

One singular game is not going to change his contract. GM’s look at the totality of his season and career.

Additionally, the singular downside to having an injury at the end of the year is higher than the potential upside of doing whatever in a tank-off.

You can put money on this. Gay isn’t here beyond training camp (at the latest).
