Jazz Free Agency Summer of 2018

You think Boston would trade Hayward, Horford or Kyrie for only 1 guaranteed year of Kawhi?

I don't.

I said they have everything needed to make a trade with the spurs. That is true.

Only danny ainge knows what they would actually be willing to give up.
 
So when Dallas does the DJ deal Favs is basically sunk. I'd offer him the following options:

1 year 10M
2/30 with team option on second year or only 1M guaranteed
3/36 with the deal as front loaded as possible. So 13,12,11.

If it is a straight one year deal I would give less just because we don't get much upside. My guess is he'd take option 2... makes 16M if he gets cut or 30 for a couple years.

His FA timing could not be worse. Capela, DMC, and DJ (apparently) all ahead of him on the FA list. One team really looking at a big. His only option may be like 4/38 with a MLE offer.

Niko signed a placeholder deal and was dealt for a 1st... these deals are assets. If not he's a good player and there is a lot of value in those deals. Letting him walk for nothing wouldn't be wise.

S&T options are pretty limited, but I'd be happy to go that route too.

I agree with those contract ideas. I would even for 4 years with one more reduced since it would be very tradeable. Maybe start at 12 and in the fourth year it is 9.

For Favors it isnt even as much the other players that are FAs it more about the fact he had some injury issues and has a reduced limited role with the Jazz. If he had been more healthy the last couple years and a bigger role he would be looking for a good pay day this year. I like Capela but Favors is a more complete player when healthy and only 3 years older. Plus Capela is in probably the best spot for him possible to look good.
 


If Brown isn't available, Kyrie, Hayward and Horford are probably off limits.

To me, their AVAILABLE chips are:
1st rounders
Rozier
Maybe Brown
Scraps

How they going to match salary? Will need help or to put one of Kyrie or Hayward in the deal... if you aren’t trading Brown they really keeping Brown, Tatum, Hayward and adding Kawhi?

It’s gonna be Hayward and Rozier and a pick...

Honestly I think they are being used as leverage.
 
Somewhere I'll have to find the deal I proposed where Boston got Kawhi, we got JJJ and Parsons, San Antonio got picks, Bradley, some other pieces. Forget what it was but it was a decent deal. I'll have to go pull it up.

Even totally healthy I'd take Capela over Favors in a heartbeat.

This is simply Ainge starting negotiations. I wouldn’t read anything into today.
 
If we really are going to go after PG should we be hoping the lakers trade for Leonard, which means LBJ might want to sign, then they’re interest in George would go away, right. Maybe then DM could entice PG to sign a try it out one year deal?

I think LA wants all three (PG, LBJ and Kawhi). However, that's impossible unless LA moves Deng. I just highly doubt San Antonio would take Deng in any scenario. A 3rd team would have to be involved.
 
Question is, would we want to? Not saying Kawhi quit on his team, but I think Gobert would probably knock him the **** out before OM NOM NOMing his soul sometime before the end of next season.
I would definitely give them some garbage (like the rozier, picks, and scraps of boston) for an mvp caliber player. No doubt.

I think the Lakers want all 3. And having kahwi and lebron would probably make george pick Lakers over jazz an easier pick for him. (If he was ever even considering us in the first place)
