What's new

Jazz Free Agency Summer of 2018

You are correct. He has been a huge reason why we won a couple key games in the 1st round the last couple years. However, his limitations (offensive limitations and constant injury concerns) are a big reason why we got swept vs Golden State and lost 4-1 to Houston. Paying him $12 or more a year knowing that he's a consistent 12ppg and 8rpg guy with no range is not the type move contenders make.

Ya he was key in a few wins but so what? He some good moments in some games. Who didn’t? Whoever we got to replace favors would probably have a few good games in the playoffs too.
 
Lebron doesn't go to LA unless he knows more is coming. My guess is that Kawhi incoming as well within the next 24 hours.
 
I don't get this at all. I thought he was great until the statistics were shown over and over again about how Gobert took an awful team and made them better when he came back from injury. In other words, we didn't play like we wanted to play with Favors as our 5. I would bet that our defense ran more normally when Udoh was at the 5. Regardless, every single stat said we were amazing with Gobert and awful without him.

The schedule was really really hard while gobert was out though too. Like hardest in the league hard.
 
I have a sad feeling our offseason is:

Draft - Grayson Allen despite all the talk

Keep Thabo
Keep Favors (maybe even overpay)
Keep Jerekbo
Keep Udoh
Keep Exum (maybe even overpay)
Keep Neto

Sign Trevor Booker

The highlight of that offseason would be drafting Grayson Allen.

I wouldn’t be sad. Next season would be a blast and we would probably win around 55 games and get a top 4 seed.
 
So everyone would be happy bringing back some nostalgia guy who can’t contribute at all, giving the guy who can’t play in the same lineup with our best player against elite teams in the playoffs starter money, and overpaying all the non guaranteed guys for continuity sake?

Don’t even want to try new things that could potentially take us to the next tier as a team? Just run it back? Guess it’s nice that the fan base puts no pressure on the front office to take any sort of risk.

Can’t you want both?
I would love to run it back.
Would love to add Paul George or someone of that caliber even more though.
 
Even with only Lebron, the Lakers are still bad. Cousins or Leonard HAVE To be going there too
