2021 Free Agency

[LoPo]

That’s what I’m saying. This dude acts like we overpaid Conley but is applauding swapping Lonzo for Graham lmao.

Did I say Graham is better than Conley? No.

But yeah, Conley is overpaid. Sure CP3 and Lowry are making more, but they have earned it. They are better players.

We are putting all of our resources into a PG who simply can't stay healthy.

They’re two totally different players lol. Not even close to similar.

Similar value to a club. They don't play the same

Did I say you said Graham was better than Conley? Lmao you are so weird. Conley is not overpaid. His contact literally might be the biggest steal of the day all around the league.

Lowry has missed a ton of games over the past three seasons too.

 

[just because]

we are over the cap so either we sign what we can or we go without. Literally our options were conley or nobody. I can imagine how much gripping would have gone on if Conley had decided to go somewhere. Happy for the jazz they retained another hot free agent. good job FO.

 

[KqWIN]

So if we don’t end up with Otto, are we just rolling back the same team but without Favirs and Niang?

I agree. We had to keep him. We had no choice.

I'm not questioning the signing, I'm questioning the amount. Year 3 when Rudy is also overpaid for 32 years old, we will collapse. We literally have to win a title then trade everybody or have to blow it up

Barring a trade, and some various minimum level players, yeah. The trade exception will still be there, they'll still have the MLE for buy out season.

We were talking value. I like the value of Graham over about any other deal today.

Portis was really good too.

Updated list of most of the interesting/realistic-ish players left:

Porter Jr
Gay
Markennan (depending on what happens with the rumored 3-way trades involving Lonzo)
Ntilikina
Bjelica
Markieff Morris
Kaminsky
Hollis-Jefferson
Millsap
Winslow
Ennis III

I'll try to keep this updated because I'm bored at work with nothing to do.

 

[KqWIN]

Not sure I would like that but this team is pretty old right now so getting younger and more athletic I guess is the goal here . Also Paschall is Mitchell's childhood friend...

I think Joe is a better player than Bogey, O’Neale, and Clarkson…but he did have a tough time getting on the court finish games. If Quin doesn’t value Ingles….I guess it’s not a horrible move.

It was would be a lot more palpable if I like Moody as a prospect. I know a lot of Warriors draft nerds liked him at 7, but I’m not really seeing with him.

Paschall…not entirely sure he’s an NBA player. His advanced numbers are complete trash and his best skill is mid range jumpers.

I'm also not seeing it for Moody. I don't think he has a high ceiling, and I don't even see why they'd want another guard.

Yeah, umm, I am not sure you understand exactly how negotiating leverage works. Conley would not have signed for less than 3 years and less money. If we had to keep him, we had to offer him a fair contract. That's how it works, cupcake.

I'm quite aware. That's why I said we had no choice.

I don't like that our entire franchise has been dependent on Mike Conley. Everybody else should feel the same way. He hasn't done **** yet unless you think regular season champions is the goal.

That's where my mind is at, sans Winslow. I've always been intrigued by Markkenen, despite the 27 sign and trade rumors he's been involved in today.

 

[Avery]

I bet Paschall comes here at the expense of a 2nd.

Maybe wrong, but not sure who GSW can really send back that we would want.

 

[jom2003]

They are similar. Graham is $38 million less though.

Sent from my SM-G970U using JazzFanz mobile app

lol. how is one of the best defenders in the league considered "similar" to one of the league's worst defenders?

 

[Jingled]

Doesn't look like Tony thinks any news is imminent.

 

[framer]

Upgraded Adams (2 years $35 million) with JV (1 year $14 million)

Dumped Bledsoe ($21 million this year, at least $4 next year)

Lost Lonzo (4 years $85 million)

Dropped 7 spots in the draft

Lost a top 20 protected 2022 Laker pick

Signed Graham (4 years $47 million)

Still have room this summer or next to use numerous picks and cap space to make a big splash.
