NBA Free Agency Moves in General (related to the Jazz, but not just moves made by the Jazz)

What do you guys think the percentage odds are on the Jazz making any move, signing or trade, between now and this time next week? (not counting a decision on Neto and Diaw's non guaranteed deals)

I think there's a really good chance (>50%) that the Jazz trade Diaw before his deal gets guaranteed in the coming week.

We don't need a 2. We need a 3/4. And a backup center. We're pretty set at guard.

Agree. Need a guy big enough to play the 3 or 4: JJ's replacement. TBH, going forward, I think Jingles needs to be a backup. Jazz need starters at the 3 AND 4.

Is there a team over the tax that could use some relief? It's a good bet DL won't trade for anyone on a multi-year contract. Needs to keep room available for next summer (or the trade deadline).
 
If the Jazz have Gobert, Favors (healthy), (Tony Allen), Mitchell, Rubio on the court together, how does anyone score against us?...
 
Jimmy Butler, I bet if Lindsay could go back in time he'd be all over that Jimmy Butler trade. Minnesota got an absolute steal for one of the best players in the league, better than Hayward. Paul George only has a year left and you know he's bolting to LA after this season, meanwhile Butler has 2 years left for under 20 mill a season.


thoughts? We wouldn't even known Hayward was gone, plus he's a little more power forwardish filling another hole for us. Gtime cost us more than just his services but bringing in an even better player on a good contract.
 
Celtics have signed Baynes for 4.3 million according to ESPN, Danny Ainge's has picked one out of the bargain bin there.

Lindsey is running out of cards to play. The Boris contract is his last best bet. Sadly, I think Boris could help next season, and I love following his adventures, but this team is in need and the expiring contract might have value to help the Knicks move Carmelo or for someone to create space for KCP.
 
I don't necessarily think he's out of cards. We'll likely start the season with one team and end with some new parts.

I was surprised listening to his interview this morning. DJ asked him about standing pat until the dust settles or until the trade deadline--both seemed too long of a wait for me, but Lindsey went further saying next summer is more important than the trade deadline.

I'm not sure what to expect anymore.

I would imagine they score more than we do.

We might set records for least points allowed per game AND least points scored per game lol
 
I've previously stated that I prefer we save money for next year's FA. Something I failed to account for - Dante Exum, Rodney Hood and Derrick Favors' capholds. The RFA's capholds jump a lot in the new CBA - for example the caphold for Exum is 15M!!!!!! FIFTEEN! This will make it really hard to get a max slot unless we renounce some of our own FAs... Favors' caphold will be 18M. By my calculations we will need to renounce pretty much all of our expiring contracts(JJ, Diaw, Favors, Exum) in order to get to max space(only keeping Hood). This doesn't sound good for my plan previously. I need to review and revise it. This is not going to work.
 
If the nets wanted to clear a little more cap space to make a run at KCP how would we feel about a Booker reunion. One year deal. A guy we love. Just a salary dump for them.

The 2018 FA class will suck. I'd rather take on assets and salary for next year than try to make a big FA play.
