Jazz Free Agency Summer of 2018

[Grimmetal]

Dante... should it be strange we haven't heard more about that?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong:
Qualifying offers and RFA... how it works is, you make him a QO at a predetermined amount, (roughly $5 mil, in this case) and that gives you the rights to match any offer. If he doesn't get offered, you have to reach a deal OR he plays on that QO for one year and becomes UFA next year, correct?

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

So it limits our options now?

Our options were already limited... I think it’s the right move but I think we need to cut Udoh if Favs comes back... use the exceptions and get someone on a 1+1.

 

[Hitman]

It doesn't take 5 hours to meet with a guy who has been on the team for 7 years.

My guess is that the Jazz may be working a sign-and-trade.

Really? You think Dennis and Quin are going to fly all the way to Atlanta and just spend 5 minutes with Faves?

5 hours is reasonable, shows a level of respect by not taking him for granted and making a proper sales pitch.

Edit: Or 3 hours with a 2-hour lunch break.

 

[JazzForLifee]

Looks like favs is coming back

 

[Tragic66]

Someone needs to care for Lo Po given Favors apparent re-signing.

The word on the street was that Jazz wanted to lock him down early to get his caphold off the books.

Tony Jones said the Jazz really like him

I really like the kid but they aren’t trading him to us.

Why aren't they trading him to the Jazz?

 

[David Stern]

If the Sixers are trading him, it’s probably because the Spurs want him in the Kawhi sweepstakes

To me both are reasonable possibilities. Unfortunately we will never really know what was said.

oooh yes please .. he could be really good

 

[Ineptimusprime]

So, if for some reason we are wrong and Favs bounces tomorrow, who is DL’s first phone call? Parker? Denver (take Faried as a dump)? Bjelica? Bertans?

Other than Parker, everyone else seems like a major step back.

Cole Aldrich.

 

[Jingled]

I still think we should dump Jerebko and use our MLE on Bjelica.

 

[Ineptimusprime]

Could totally still happen. Of all possible moves, I think this is the most likely.

I would also look at upgrading Neto’s spot with Napier who Portland just let go.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

If we lose Favs, I might take a look at Nerlens Noel along with Bjelica.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

I really like the kid but they aren’t trading him to us.

I thought he was worth our pick at 30 last year.

 

[Douchebag K]

If we lose Favs, I might take a look at Nerlens Noel along with Bjelica.

Nerlens ?? why ??

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Nerlens ?? why ??

Backup energy big. Good defender. Cheap deal. Some upside.

Dallas offered him $70M. He has talent.

Yes, I think you got that exactly right.
