Dennis Lindsey is dreamy

Udoh's option is automatic guaranteed on July 1.

Jonas and Thabo are guaranteed on July 8th.

That extra week could help. I like Lindsey's strategy.
 
Jazz are gonna try and make a non-matchable offer for RFA Jabari Parker in the offseason. I believe there's a KSL article out today talking about just that. With Favors coming off the books and the way they just set up these 2 year contracts, there's no doubt DL is gonna take a big swing at something next offseason.

Next years lineup:

PG- Rubio
SG- Mitchell
SF- Hood
PF- Parker
C- Gobert

Exum and Jingles will be our first 2 off the bench.

Parker will get matched. If they aren't willing to match anything in RFA they will trade him this deadline. Or he is a shell of himself when he gets back on the court and we have no interest.

I would not want him at the max. The injury history is just too bad.

I am relatively sure (like 75%) we extend Hood this offseason. The general sentiment is correct though... we have flexibility to make trades or create space to keep or acquire guys. Honestly I expect we keep 2 of the 3 as they are all decently priced.

I'm sure the Jazz would be thrilled if that were the case. It sure looks like we're going to lose Favors regardless. I don't see why he'd re-sign with the Jazz. Our money's going to be tight, and he's not going to want to stay in Rudy's shadow.
 
Two ACL's in the same knee scares the hell out of me. I hope Jabari is good tho. Life just isnt fair. That said, hes a millionaire 20 something. Why am i feeling sorry for him?

I agree. I think the Jazz really want to keep Hood. It's just a question of at what cost. It's hard to find wings with Hood's skillset. I think Favors will get moved. Joe Johnson will come off our books end of season too. Theoretically, that would pay for Exum and Hood if their deals are reasonable.

The article made a pretty good case as to why the Bucks may have trouble matching a big offer for Jabari. Giannis is a max player and they've got another guy they really like (name escapes me at the moment) with a pretty hefty salary number for 2 more years after this season. A max offer sheet for Jabari puts the Bucks in a tough spot. Either match the deal and roll with those guys as your "Big 3", or let Jabari walk in the name of roster flexibility. A trade for Jabari before the deadline is probably too risky for any team to jump at. He won't be back from his 2nd ACL until after the deadline, making him a huge unknown quantity. That being said, a team like Utah could possibly buy low on Parker at the deadline if Milwaukee was willing to move him and basically get 25-30 games to see if they want to keep him moving forward. Hell of a gamble though. I don't think I'd do it.
 
We just went through a players market where everybody had cap space and lots of stupid deals got done. Next year is the opposite. Only 6 teams will have over $20 mill cap space not counting holds. One of those is philly.

The free agent list is pretty incredible too, so retaining Hood, Favs and Exum may not come at the cost it was once estimated even if they all have a decent season.

Jabari is not a max guy and way overrated on this board because he is LDS. I'd rather go another direction.

Doubtful. Jazz can't clear enough cap space to make a big offer to a FA like Parker without renouncing Dante or Rodney - or both.

Gobert, Rubio, Ingles, Mitchell and Bradley = $56.3M. Add in minimum roster charges of $4.6M. So, about $61M is minimum Jazz could get to by renouncing all FA's and trading Burks. That includes giving up rights and removing cap holds for Exum and Hood.

Hood has a cap hold of $7.1m and Exum is at nearly $15m.

Keep rights to both and renounce everyone else leaves about $18m in cap space. Keep Hood, renounce rights to Dante leaves $33M to offer a FA. Keep Dante, renounce rights to Hood = $25M in cap space.

I'm not a huge Parker guy, the 2 ACL's on one knee scare me quite a bit. That being said, the dude's a 20ppg scorer. Everybody in the world is waiting to see if the Jazz can replace Hayward's production. If Hood falls flat this year and/or Exum doesn't take the next step, the Jazz renouncing one or both of those guys to go get a scorer isn't very far fetched at all.

Knee problems not withstanding, 20ppg scorers don't grow on trees, and Parker can do it from the 4 while spreading the floor a bit more for Gobert than what we've had with Favors. DL isn't going to go get a player just because he's LDS, but if he feels good about gambling on his injury history, the fact that he'd probably feel right at home in SLC certainly can't hurt.
