Crap, the youth movement stuff that is coming out of today is actually getting me excited about next season. Too bad KOC is going to screw it up by resigning 3/4 of this team.

haha, me too. sounds to me like Al and Paul are gone. We can only hope Mo is gone too. Marvin and Randy might be back, but that will be ok if we don't sign any more vet wings. Maybe Marv can play some 4...

Millsap kinda elusive, said he thought he has been treated fairly in Utah. Asked about where he wants to be next season, said he doesn't know, plans to talk to his family about it and see what happens this summer.
Doesn't sound like he is to worried about switching teams.
I don't think he will be back.

We have to sign someone. Marvin would be any expiring contract.
The salary floor is going to be about 52 Mil. With Marvin opting and us picking up Kevin Murphy's option in we have about 25.5 Mil commited for 7 players. We are required to play 6-8 players at least 26.5 Mil.
Our two first round picks and a our second will make about a combined 4.5 mil.
If we resign Foye (2.5 Mil again) and Carroll (2.5), then we will still need another 17.5 mil of salary.

Millsap makes me sad. With favors and Kanter starting he would be an absolute stud coming in off the bench. Plus, if any injuries or anything else happened he could slide right into the starting line-up without missing a beat. But, alas, he wants more. He's worked hard so I can't say he doesn't deserve it, I just wanted him to be a Jazz man for life.
I think he has gotten better about passing the ball. He will never be great but he is not abysmal anymore either. I will say below average. As for the resot of the team going stagnate when he has the ball. To be honest I place that on them more than on Big Al. They know they are supposed to cut and move without the ball. Big Al having the ball in hi shands does not change that. They may not get the ball but they are still supposed to move and rotate.

DMC said that he had a good meeting, that the management was really pleased with his interaction with the fans, the fan bowling nights, his attitude about playing time and that they would like to have him back.
Said he wants to be a Jazzman as long as they will let him.
Said he wanted tape of Bruce Bowen, and that he wants to improve on his corner three's.

You dont have to have the salary at the beginning of the season. we can always make a trade to absorb expiring contracts, or we can just ride the season out with young guys and low salary, and then it goes to the players as a bonus at the end of the season. I would rather not sign a garbage contract and have a low salary than take on a guy that would hamstring us going forward.
I agree that we have to sign someone. I would look at a C and PG personally. Especially if Marvin, Foye and Carroll come back.
Wow, can you imagine Carroll's energy fight and hustle combined with improved D and better behind the arc? I hope the Jazz sign him the first moment they can. I really want him back.

Wow! This is a 180 on some of the other things he's said, primarily about playing time. Perhaps the FO let him know things would change significantly. DC could be a definite force off the bench. I'd say 5th starter, but with Favors and Kanter in the lineup, the Jazz really need a better scorer at SF.

Tax relief for cash-strapped teams in exchange for unrestricted picks.

we need all of that 17.5 mil. They're gonna absorb some contracts for some picks.

If he does improve his D and gets a constant corner three down, that would be a big plus to his game and a nice asset to the Jazz. I hope he comes back.
OK fair enough. What particular contracts out there are likely and how high of a pick is it likely to be depending on the team?
Give me options people. I am no good at that stuff. If they do not play for Utah I do not know.

1. Gasol from LA is one. And without Kobe for much of the season, they'd likely miss the playoffs. But I'd insist on an unrestricted pick. Otherwise, the league gives them a top-3 in the lottery and the pick falls into the late 20's range in 2015. Maybe give them the rights to whoever we draft at #21 this season. Or if they want a straight salary dump, give them the rights to Tomic.

Tell them Tomic is the next Gasol!

2. As soon as CP3 signs a new deal with the Clippers, I'll bet Bledsoe becomes available. They can't keep both.
