Favors should still spend the majority of his time playing the 5. Either Favors or Gobert should be on the floor at all times. That's a lot of minutes left over at the four. Some of our wings are going to need to play some minutes there.

That is why i believe the Jazz should release Udoh, sign Niang and sign one of these guys

Jabari Parker - If Milwaukee wouldn't match a MLE offer i would love to bring him in on a 1+1
Noah Vonleh - I would like to see what they Jazz developmental staff could do with him.
Dante Cunningham - Nice vet to have on the bench
Luc Richard Mbah a Moute - This is the signing i want the most some because it screws the Rockets (a little) but he can hit 3s and play defense.
Quincy Acy - I love this idea. He is a 35% 3 point shooter but he is the kind of player that makes other players mad
Trevor Booker - One of the best enforcers in the NBA. If only he could shoot 3s
Bruno Caboclo - Again interesting developmental
Davis Bertans - Could be a nice sharp shooter
 
I remember his play in Boston that resulted in a Jazz win when the Jazz were really struggling. It seems like where he goes, his team makes the playoffs.

Some of you guys just want to argue. Andre Iguodala played primarily PF when he won the Finals MVP. Curry 1, Klay 2, Barnes 3, Iggy 4, Draymond 5. If you want to argue Barnes vs Iggy, they played interchangibly and Iggy stayed in when Livingston came in for Barnes.

Regardless, O'Neale can definitely play some PF. Not primarily and not our starter, but some minutes.

Honestly one of the dumbest things I have seen him tweet... I still don't really understand what he's trying to say.

I take it as the told him he would be the 4th PF this year and they mutually parted ways. Jerebko wanted a bigger role and we were offering that. Favors and Crowder are our main PFs. Sef is going to play more at that position now and is better. We dont need to pay that much to a 4th string player and dont really need him that much and he wants more. It sounds like it was mutually beneficial to let him go.

Because it's good to have talent? I'm not heartbroken over his release, but that's a PR reason, not the real reason. He either was a cap and flexibility casualty or he quietly asked to be released. I respect it either way, but you don't release talent because they're too good. If the Jazz did that to Royce, we would be severely questioning if they drug test in the Jazz FO.
 
Uh depth matters and it's not like Jonas was racking in the minutes. He would sometimes play 15 sometimes play 2.

Maybe Jonas wanted to leave, that's fine. But that explanation literally says that the Jazz didn't want him because he's too good.

That I can respect. Wouldn't blame Jonas in that situation to seek a bigger role.

That would be even less this year now that we have both Crowder and Sef. Last year we only had one or the other at the same time. Those minutes are going to one of those guys. I think he would be getting DNP-CD unless there was an injury. No reason to pay that much for DNPs and someone being disgruntled.

This frames it more as Jonas requesting to be out, which is a fine explanation. I don't buy the Jazz didn't want him around because he's too good. Every roster spot is valuable and depth is extremely important, especially to this team.

Agreed. I can appreciate Jonas' professionalism all the more. No drama.
