Now that the Rockets are rebuilding PJ Tucker would be a great fit in a Jazz uni. He is in the last year of his deal for just under 8 mil. The question is what would the Jazz have to give up to make it happen.
It would be very difficult to make a trade happen straight up as the only players that match salary we would not really want to give up. O'Neale 8.5 and Favors 9.2 I do not see this happening.
The next option is to put together a package for min players like Oni, Niang, Harrison, Morgan and or Azubuike.(Can't see Niang as part of it) this would mean going further into the cap as their spots on the roster would still have to be filled. This would be an all-in move.
Last would be an interesting Move the Jazz could package Bogdanovic and say Oni and get back Tucker and for salary reason Exum (I know not to bring him back just for the salary. So if you take Exum out they would have to give up say House and McLemore. Jazz might have to give up draft picks too but not sure because Boganovic still has 2 years on his contract after this year. this would also get the Jazz under the luxury tax. I have a hard time with this as Bogdanovic is one of my favorite Jazz players and his shooting is amazing although his defense leaves a lot to the imagination.
Just some ramblings and thoughts as i was cleaning my place today.
Lets just say that the 3rd option is used
Conley, Clarkson, Harrison
Mitchell, McLemore, Hughes
O'Neale, House,
tucker, Niang, Morgan
Gobert, Favors, Azubuike
Better defensively but how about offensively? Is it worth giving future assets
