If this is true this would be a good move to take one last player into our cap space. Although I am sure Minnesota wants something for him... maybe a 2nd rounder. We'll see. I would also be okay bring back Tinsley (even though I preferred Watson) or signing Lucas.

Thoughts?
 
Without looking at any salary information, I feel Ridnour would be a good signing.
 
I'd give up 2 second rounders for him. Perhaps the rights to Tomic? I feel like Tomic is useless now that we have Gobert. Tomic is a tease anyways.
 
I'd rather just go for a more pure point, preferably one at an older age as well.



Just re-sign Tinsley and end this offseason already

If I could get one great answer from our FO, it would be their description of the Tomic situation. I'm perplexed as to why they haven't been pushing him to jump to the NBA already

What the hell is the matter with you? You want the team to be terrible? Boy, that would just turn me off about Jazz basketball for a long time. I simply can't stand it when teams "tank" so they can get high draft picks. You have no idea who is going to be in the draft next year, so why base your entire operation on speculative hope? There is zero proof that either of Andrew Wiggins or Jabari Parker will be in the draft next year. What if both guys want to actually go to college and get their degrees? I say everybody who wants the Jazz to be terrible just so they can get high draft picks is not a true Jazz fan. That is the attitude that terrible franchises take, not great ones. You should always try to put the best product on the court that you can. Losing breeds more losing.

So you wanted us to resign Jefferson and Millsap so we can contend for a 7th or 8th seed for the next few years? It's Luke ****ing Ridnour. He won't make us a contender or even get us to the playoffs. But if there is even a chance he is the difference between the 4th and 3rd pick. Then **** it.

San Antonio's losing season way back when sure didn't breed any more losing.
 
I absolutely did not want us to re-sign Millsap or Jefferson. That is because we had players behind them that deserve more playing time and resigning those two would have continued to slow their growth. However, the same cannot be said at the PG position. We don't know if Trey Burke is going to pan out or not, as he has not even played a game yet. What if he is a bust? Should we not do everything in our power to improve or team when we can?
 
Sure, MTC. I want the Jazz to contend for the 8th seed every year and the Jazz to be locked in to $70M in contracts for stellar players like Mayo, Jack, etc. Overpaying for mid-tier FA's is the key to success. Then we get to do this whole rebuild again when Favors, Kanter and Hayward leave as FA's. It's just SO MUCH FUN as a TRUE JAZZ FAN to watch the Jazz get swept by the Lakers or San Antonio. I guess we just hope that a year will magically come along like 2005 when injuries to our best players cause our record to drop and give us a shot at a player like Deron.
 
I get the mentality of going for a back up that isn't that good and would probably prefer that... its just interesting that all the guys that Locke talks about as being interesting salary dumps are either available or being made available.
 
Ridnour's fine. We need a PG to spell Burke and keep feeding people, unless that's what Alec Burks is supposed to do.
 
With us not signing adding a shooting guard (other than injured Brandon Rush), and trading Randy Foye to Denver, I would assume that the SG position is Burks to lose. He doesn't need to spend time at PG if he is getting all of the starter's minutes at SG. We do need a veteran back up point though.
 
1. He'd cost actual money now.
2. I wouldn't give up any assets to rent some 30-year old unless it's with the idea to flip him for better assets somehow.
 
whats the point in adding 2 or 3 wins on this season if it means losing more for years to come. I think the jazz have a great foundation but without that one star(i don't think they've found it yet) they will never be contenders.
