Praying this comes trueBogey.....mostly because I want him gone.
Should’ve included Gobert.
One of these guys will be traded. If we bring Mike back other cuts will be made. If Mike looks to go elsewhere we will work out a sign and trade and at least get a TPE back.Honestly, what is most likely is that no one is traded. But if someone is traded, it’ll be Bogey or Clarkson.
A trade becomes much more likely if Conley walks. It would be ******* insanity not to make a pivot if Conley leaves.
If no one is getting moved, there better at least be appropriate trimming at the end of the roster. Please—no more Morgan, Brantley, Thomas, or Oni. If there’s no trade, Niang should be gone too. If we trade Bogey, I might keep Niang around on the cheap.
Smart is one of the best fits I could see next to Donovan, but I wouldn't risk Clarkson for a one year rental of him since he's a free agent at the end of the year.Favors/pick to OKC for cap space.
Clarkson/30 to Boston for Smart.
*These are 1a and 1b because they are linked: the urgency in trading Favors increases astronomically if Conley is re-signed (or replaced via S&T).Because of the overwhelming need, it's Favors. He is the most superfluous player in the rotation and he is paid an insane amount for his total contribution. They should (and I strongly suspect will) make it the 1b priority of the offseason (1a being retaining some value of Conley['s Bird Rights])*.
This is under the assumption that the team is going to try to run it back, but they're going to have to be smarter about the finances this year.
I suspect they package #30 with Favors to offload him into cap space, but I hope they find a way to get an early 2nd rounder somehow (I think one of OKC's early 2nd rounders may be had with cash).

You gotta be more specific on what pick might be sent to OKC in that deal (assuming #30 is used for something else) because - as we all know - the Jazz kinda don't have any (unless it's got weird conditionality).Favors/pick to OKC for cap space.
Clarkson/30 to Boston for Smart.
Since this organization never sells high (and almost never buys low) and since Bogey is so important in creating the conditions for the 4-out, 3-point barrage, I don't think he is going anywhere.Because of the overwhelming need, it's Favors.
