2023 NBA Free Agency Thread

So..... if the Jazz wanted to pick up Tyler Herro in a trade scenario, I bet they could. I don't think Portland is going to want him. Not sure I'd go that direction though.
 
Turns out NBA teams are more focused on executing their plan to make their best team than trying to be petty.

Oh no! They might match the offer! Then they’d have to pay out a fair salary at least and hurt their situation in the year they owe us a draft pick! THEN WE’D BE OUT KELLY OLYNYK!!!

Go easy on KO. We had to give up a lot of value to get him.

What makes everyone think Reeves would have entertained an offer from Utah? You are forgetting there are two sides to this equation. This young man gets to play for one of the most storied franchises in NBA history, next to one of the greatest players to ever play the game, in one of the world’s most desirable cities. And will get over $50 million to do so. I’m not sure he/his agent would even return the Jazz’s call and risk the Lakers not matching.

Mind you, I am saying this as a die hard Jazz fan who grew up in Salt Lake and wouldn’t be caught dead living in LA myself. I just think those of you upset that the Jazz didn’t offer him a contract is silly given you have no idea if he was even interested in talking with anyone but LA.

Because he’s restricted and there was a ceiling on what LA could offer but he could go get a bigger bag from someone else and have LA match.

That’s why, at least at the very minimum.

Reaves signs where he gets the most money. Period.

Trying to make your own team better and make your competition that owe you a draft pick worse are the same thing in a competitive environment.

Ummm money...

If we offered $62 million instead of $54 then he would likely gamble.

Bruce Brown was DEFINITELY returning to defend his title... rrrrrriiiiiiight.
