Off-Season Moves after Hayward saga

Whether we all agree with matching the offer sheet for Gordon Hayward, all signs point to the Jazz matching it.

What moves do YOU want the Jazz to make with the remaining 8.4mil (15mil if non-guaranteed contracts are not signed)

The starting line up is in place
Burke (Clark?)
Burks (Exum)
Hayward (Hood)
Favors (Novak)
Kanter (Gobert)

Fill out the rest of the roster!
 
We won't have any money left after the Hayward signing - that's the whole point (taking into account what we'll have to pay Burks and Kanter later on)
 
Take on an expiring vet or two who won't expect many, if any, minutes in our rotation, from some team looking to dump salary. In doing so, we should look to try to get a future 1st or multiple 2nds back. These assets and some vet leadership (without taking away from our youths playing time) may be the way to go imo. The problem is, we then lack the financial flexibility needed to possibly get better assets at a deadline deal as part of a three team trade where the other two teams need someone like us to take on the dead weight.

What will it cost to re-sign Burks?

Im guessing 9 million per year will be offered to him this off season...... and after what he just saw hayward get offered he will decline and hope to have a great year and get more
 
I'd trade Jeremy Evans to Houston for Lin and Jones. Then resign Hayward (ideally, I'd let Hayward walk and resign Marvin instead). That gives me:

Burke, Exum, Lin
Burks, Exum
Marvin/Hayward, Hood
Kanter, Jones
Favors, Gobert
 
Id trade a 2016 2nd rounder for Jarnell Stokes.. oh wait. nvm. :cool:

I dont see how Erik Murphy makes the team, hes redundant with Novak.

I'd definitely take Malcolm Thomas aboard, if the Jazz dont go after a defensive minded Forward.

I personally wouldnt take Ian Clark, he doesnt impress me tbh, looks like hes 6'1 and i havent ever been wow'ed by his shooting.


Burke - Exum - Lucas III
Burks -
Hayward - Hood - Thomas
Kanter - Evans - Novak
Favors - Gobert


I like to gamble on low risk high reward players, (especially if you dont bring back Malcolm Thomas) theres a spot for Michael Beasley, hes big can play SF, shoots well from 3, rebounds his position well, is only 25, and will cost pennies on the dollar.

Theres a bunch of players from the SL that look ready for the NBA, one who ive particularly enjoyed watching is Tyler Honeycutt, hes 6'8 and skinny but he appears to be much more polished/under-control these days, a SF that can hit 3's and do some other things, hes plenty athletic too.

Theres a dude named Ronald Roberts Jr. on Philly's SL team that id sign, hes 6'8 with a 7'1 wingspan, 210 lbs but strong, and hes Freakishly athletic, definitely worth getting on that D-League affiliate.

Of the available FA's id look at taking fliers on; (in no order)

Trevor Ariza, Al Farouq Aminu, Michael Beasley, Alan Anderson, Anthony Morrow, Kent Bazemore, James Anderson, Francisco Garcia, Jerryd Bayless, Brian Roberts, Shelvin Mack(R), Ed Davis, Andray Blatche, Jordan Hill, Mike Scott, Trevor Booker, Ekpe Udoh, Jeremy Tyler and of course, Ante Tomic.
 
According to David Locke...

Believe my math is correct here after Jazz match Hayward they can still take on 8.7 million. Before they sign Hayward have around 15 M

Hopefully Houston or Chicago needs to dump some salary... If not find some cheap guys with upside. Prior to drafting Hood I was hoping we'd bring in Jordan Hamilton and give him some time.

And the same with Enes. Both will ask for the moon and Lindsey will decline. Then we'll all bitch about the short-sightedness of Dennis in not just giving them whatever they wanted before they get big offers during next season's free agency period.

Jazz should ONLY take on salary dumps at this point. There is no one out there who is a true impact player/building block that should get minutes ahead of any of the current roster players. Let's see if anyone becomes available at the deadline.

Burke (35), Exum (13)
Burks (30), Exum (12), Clark? (6)
Hayward (33), Hood (15)
Kanter (30), Favors (5), Novak (13)
Favors (28), Gobert (20)

Or cross out Clark and give minutes at the SG to Hayward and more time to Hood, etc. Or play Exum 30 mins/per. There are a lot of ways to go.

And I haven't even put in Evans!
As much as I like Marvin as a versatile backup, I think he's just too old to be brought back and take minutes away from the youngsters. Hood can provide the shooting Marvin provided at the 3. And Murphy should get a shot at the stretch-4.

Burks is better than Hayward sooooo... What's greater than the max?

Alec has a lower Per, lower 3P%, FT% and outside of last year a lower FG%. And Alec was playing against bench players more than Hayward.

Per 48 Hayward has more rebounds, assists and steals and fouls at about half the rate of Alec. Gordon is a better ballhandler, passer and defender (not that either of them are very good on D) and I would guess he is going to look tremendously better under Snyder's system if he is still here.

Alec had a decent year because he can get to the hoop. When you have a disorganized offense, players that have the ability to get to the line tend to do better. This is Alec's best characteristic.

I have to completely disagree that Alec is better than Hayward.

I agree. Where this team is on the growth curve, there is no reason to keep Marvin around. He will give us more talent for a couple years, at the detriment of the future (by taking away valuable minutes that our core need to develop).

I do think there is a very good chance Enes and Alec ask for big contracts. The Jazz need to evaluate what they would likely get as RFAs and try to negotiate under that #.

Most the people I talk to outside the interwebs think we should bring on some more vets to pressure the young guys to earn their minutes. It builds character having better players in front of you like Marvin and Richard to chase down.
