What's new
By:

Dennis Lindsey: We will be VERY active in free agency

Let me introduce James Johnson. Please note who is defending him on the first highlight.

I've been thinking a lot about what is the best approach for the Jazz this offseason. If I were DL, I go after the biggest bang for my buck. The four guys that I chase are Durant, DeRozan, Gasol and Batum. Mid level guys are getting way overpaid this offseason. If you strike out on those 4, take the best value guys you can with a 1 year deal or 2nd year team option. I don't tie up my cap space next year for depth unless I get a difference maker out of it. Someone will slip through the cracks and be a bargain like Aminu, Carroll, Bazemore, Lin, Casspi and Biyambo all were. Let the market settle and then see what is the best value left. . . then start focusing on the 2017 crop and hope like hell that the Jazz get into the playoffs and somebody takes a Draymond Green-like jump into top 20 NBA territory.

I like teletovic. I think he is an elite shooter. (Probably cause I remember him dropping hella threes on the jazz one game)

I'd rather give him the 12M a year than Hill or Deng. Can play both forward spots... Can't defend much but would space the floor and have a few games a year where his shooting wins the game off the bench by itself.

I know Locke has talked about a shooting five... There really aren't many out there. Why not try Lyles there? He's long... Better than overpaying guys like Leonard who are not a great fit with Lyles I the second team.
 
Solomon Hill (Warning, all of his non playoff threes are shown)

Any interest in Bogut as backup center? Rumor is warriors will try to trade him to clear space to sign Durrant. He would probably come cheap. They also drafted a center.

So he has one year left at just over 11million. Trade Whithy for Bogut, anyone?

Crickets... Tumbleweed... Guy coughing....

Yeah no thanks here. His knee isn't right arm and I'd rather just keep withey on the cheap.
 
watch the sixers in FA... if they get Barnes, Fournier, or another wing and Saric or Korkmaz comes over... they will have a log jam. Grant, Covington, and Thompson are all interesting. Not sure what they would ask, and I know RoCo has been brought up before, but think one of those guys is moved.

Grant or Covington likely would cost a first rounder, but would fill the wing combo forward need. Thompson can shoot... cheap injury insurance, but I wonder if he could be better playing with actual NBA players.

I wouldn't be opposed to it depending on what we were giving up. I don't see it happening though because I don't think the Warriors will sign Durant. Signing him would leave their team depleted of depth. They would have to sign a bunch of players at the veteran minimum. And they still have to pay Steph next year. I just don't see a deal getting done there.

They want to trade him to clear space to make a run at Bogut. I'm sure one of Whithy, or Burke alone would get the job done.

I have a raging boner for both Jeramie Grant and RoCo. Would love either of them on this team as a 2nd string

**** the Warriors. They already got that help from us to get Iggy. I'm sure as hell not going to help facilitate Durant.

U wouldn't want a nice vet who always knows where to be on defense who can pass and mentor Gobert? Also another Aussie to mentor bothe Ingles and Exum while also getting rid of Burke and maybe a future pick like last time.

And we got Hood. I couldn't care less if we helped them get good, they helped us get a potential future all star for cap space. That's awesome for us. I don't give no ****s if we help them get KD if we get another really good player.
