Terrence Jones is the perfect backup 4, who can stretch the floor reasonably well without giving up size and rebounding. Not a SF.

Why are the Jazz not dumping Lucas III? Let Ian Smith be the third PG. At least Smith can shoot and is more athletic.

Use common sense.

The Jazz don't want a team full of young players. They want vets who are perfectly happy just being a good example (JL3 is a great dude).

I think I am in the minority but I hope that GH's offer wont be matched and that the Jazz would go after Evan Turner and Terrence Jones.

Ewwwwwwww!!! Please explain why you want Turner? I feel the need for entertainment this morning. Personally I think you've lost yo mind.

TJ isn't a small forward, so he infact isn't the perfect sf with Rodney in the Hood, but would love a rotation of Kanter and Jones at pf.
 
Just heard on espn after the Lebron decision that the Jazz could be a landing spot for Lin with Houston trying to clear cap space. Just speculation on their part, but we could be a team that the rockets could deal with who could take on his contract.

Hmmm...I thought the Rockets had made a deal with Philly. Made Houston offered a 1st to do the deal, but the Sixer's demanded a 2nd-round pick instead. :p
 
I think Houston has to strip down their whole roster other than their main guys to do this. Jones, montejunas, Beverly might be available and I'd be interested. Don't think we can do Lin though... Too much actual cash to be paid for a third string PG who might be better right now than the two guys In front of him.

Scratch Beverly... His salary can't be much more than a minimum cap hold would be.

It's tight, but Houston can fit Bosh under their cap by dumping Lin (agreement in place with Philly?) and Asik (already done) and making just a few tweaks. If the contract is really 4/$88M, the first year salary has to be in the $20.5M range.
Howard at $21.4M, Bosh at $20.5 and Harden at $14.7. That's $56.6M right there. Plus cap holds for Parsons of $1M, Jones ($1.6M), Motiejunas ($1.1M), Hamilton ($2.1M), Daniels and Capela ($1M each). Assume all others are renounced and replaced by minimum roster holds (3 at $500K). That's about $66M against a cap of $63.1M. Shouldn't be too hard to find a team willing to take on $3-$4M in salaries. Then they match for Parsons and are just under the luxury tax threshold of $77M.

Reportedly, they're giving up a future first to Philly for dumping Lin. Wonder if they's give up another 1st in 3 years if we took whatever other salaries they wanted to sacrifice, allowing them to sign Bosh and keeping them under the tax. Of course, they could also move those to Miami or LA Lakers.

You may be right. I thought Houston could fit Bosh under their cap by just dumping Lin and Asik, but I don't see how. If the contract is really 4/$88M, the first year salary has to be in the $20.5M range.
Howard at $21.4M, Bosh at $20.5 and Harden at $14.7. That's $56.6M right there. Plus the cap hold for Parsons of $1M. I don't see how they can have anyone else on the books outside of their exceptions. Scratching my head, but I'll bet GVC would know.

Someone smarter than me (not hard btw) on Twitter had mentioned this. Either pelton or coon... Woj also tweeted that they need to clear the decks of everyone except their main guys.
 
Would love to see us get Jones for a second rounder... Or for the last time.... Tomic's draft rights. Wouldn't mind montiejunas and Beverly would be really interesting too.
 
The best part is everyone has Morey by the balls because they know he has until Sunday to figure this out.
