Mine is by game 50, we have this rotation.

Harris (31), Watson (9), Burks (8)
Hayward (25), Burks (17), Bell (6)
Millsap (16), Hayward (8), Miles (20), Evans (4)
Favors (28), Millsap (16), Evans (4)
Kanter (26) , Okur (16), Favors (6)

We trade Jefferson at the deadline for high draft picks and some decent player assuming Kanter pans out

Um, let me think. NO to trading Jefferson when we have an aging Mehmet Okur on the roster who has a large, expiring contract. Okur is the one who will be traded at the deadline, NOT Jefferson. Kanter basically will replace Okur's production. Memo looks like the eventual "odd man out". Also, if the NBA owners get their hard cap in the new CBA, there is no way in hell that we are re-signing Andrei Kirilenko. All we will have is the mid-level exception and Kirilenko is worth more than that. He is probably gone. However, I would look for Jeremy Evans to be much improved this year to the point that he will replace AK's production (to a point). He has the defensive/athletic potential to be our next second round steal. This is the depth chart/rotation I would expect by mid-season (starters in bold):

PG: Devin Harris (30), Earl Watson (16), Alec Burks (2)
SG: Gordon Hayward (30), Alec Burks (14), C.J. Miles (4), Raja Bell (0; possibly retires to become a new Jazz assistant coach?)
SF: Paul Millsap (28), C.J. Miles (18), Jeremy Evans (2)
PF: Derrick Favors (27), Jeremy Evans (14) , Paul Millsap (7)
C: Al Jefferson (30), Enes Kanter (15), Mehmet Okur (3)
 
Very good, 'Pappy', but I'd tweak it a bit...
PG: Devin Harris (26), Earl Watson (18), Alec Burks (4)
SG: Gordon Hayward (20), Alec Burks (14), C.J. Miles (4), Raja Bell (10)
SF: Paul Millsap (12), C.J. Miles (18), Jeremy Evans (12), Gordon Hayward (6)
PF: Derrick Favors (24), Jeremy Evans (8) , Paul Millsap (14), Okur (2)
C: Al Jefferson (26), Enes Kanter (14), Mehmet Okur (8)
 
Nah, trade/expire Harris, Bell, Okur, Miles, Watson, et al. Then play to our strengths.

PG - Hayward
SG - Millsap
SF - Favors
PF - Jefferson
C - Kanter

Im all for trading Okur but I think is will aid Kanter's development better than Jefferson. Okur will make Kanter feel more at home and definitely help with the language barriers.

The language seems like it wont be much of a challenge for Kanter. Dude knew zero English 18 months ago (according to Locke). He speaks English almost as well as Memo now.

Eeek, so pretty much everyone gets 26 mins? Big Al only 26 mins, Favors only 24, Hayward 26, Harris 26, Millsap 26

Plus why would we trade an expiring contract instead of Al Jefferson's contract? We would get both off the books for 2012-2013. That would be 24 million dollars, we would then give CP3 a max contract.
 
i think that all you guys are wrong first of all Enes Kanter is a member of superstar and Utah Jazz saw this and im sure that he will give 30 mins and up later again i think that mehmet okur will not be trade because Enes Kanter will need hin for get used in utah team and city because they are turkish and they have same sentimentality and understanding they need each other anyway my guess that jefferson or milsap and Harris (%100) will be trade and Utaht will trade a best pg, Krilenko will go to europe and old utah will come to back :)
My future Rotation
PG . new Best PG
SG C.J. Miles+Alec Burks
SF Gordon Hayward
PF Milsap + Derrick Favors
C Enes Kanter + Mehmet Okur

Memo is that you?
 
Let's see who's currently under contract

PG: Harris
SG: Hayward, Burks, Bell
SF: Miles
PF: Millsap, Favors, Evans
C: Jefferson, Kanter, Okur

Miles currently isn't officially under contract, but he's too cheap to cut. Jazz need backup PGs to fill out the roster. At least one, anyway.

PFs and SGs can fill the SF hole at Corbin's leisure.

Watson is the obvious choice to sign as backup PG. And I'm good with trying Burks as third string.

I still think they need to get one, either via FA or via trade. Of course I also think they should trade Miles. (Trade Miles for future draft pick, sign free agent SF. Sounds good.)

And isn't Bell unfortunately still under contract?
 
PG: Devin Harris, Earl Watson, Jacob Pullen/Ben Hansborough
SG: Gordon Hayward, Raja Bell, Alec Burks
SF: Paul Millsap, Kirilenko, C.J. Miles, Jeremy Evans, David Lighty
PF: Derrick Favors, Enes Kanter
C: Al Jefferson, Mehmet Okur
 
Wow. I don't see giving Burks the point except rarely. And I think we re-sign AK for little over the exception (but don't look at my mock draft for validation of my predictive skills).

Harris - 30, Watson 18, Price (or, in my dreams, Pullen) picking up some slack
Haywoody - 26, Bell (until traded) - 14, Burks - a few to start and more as he earns it
AK - 24, Miles - 20, Sap - in only small doses here
Big Al (don't dicker about positions except for the tip, our bigs pretty all play 2 positions) - 22, Sap - 22, Kanter - same as Burks
Favors - 22, Big Al - 8, Memo - 10, Kanter ditto
 
First off, I think we have to take into account next year's draft when considering our future rotation. We should have 2 lottery picks next year, Golden States (Top 7 Protected) and our own (because we aren't making the playoffs with this young roster). My thinking is that we will have 2 picks in the 8-14 range next year. If we can land either Austin Rivers or Marquis Teague I think we are set.

1- Future PG, Harris
2- Burks, Future Wing
3- Hayward, Sap (10 min max)
4- Favors, Sap
5- Big Al, Kanter

Eventually we will trade a big, either Al or Sap, for some additional PG or Wing help. Then I think we're pretty balanced and hopefully pushing for a playoff spot in 2012-2013.
 
I keep reading people mention using the mid-level exception. Everyone knows that the mid-level is 99.9% sure to be gone in the new CBA right?

Not necessarily. I believe the last proposal made by the owners included cap exceptions very similar to the current exceptions. The main difference from the current system is that the luxury tax level became a hard ceiling.
