The CFO is to blame?
You're the GM this offseason. What do you do?

- Start date
The CFO is to blame?
So I’ll preface this post by saying this is entirely hypothetical. Yes, the roster is set. No, this would never happen. Just clarifying for the inevitable “ZOMG this ain’t happening lol” post.
That said, we’ve got a good team defense but could still use some individual specialists to throw at guys depending on the situation. Exum can be that guy, but I think he’s limited in that he can guard the smaller perimeter guys like a Harden and Curry, but is going to get outmuscled by the bigger guys like a Kawhi or PG. I’d move Exum and Bradley to OKC for Andre Roberson and Patrick Patterson. That gives us more size and shooting options at the 4, but gives you a guy who can body the LeBrons, Kawhis, PGs, and Giannises. He’s very limited offensively. Much more so than Exum, but he’s a really good defender, really strong, and I’d be thinking of utilizing him football style at the end of close games where you can sub out defensive and offensive teams. To replace what we’d lose defensively from Exum off the bench, I’d sign Iman Shumpert to a minimum deal. He’s not getting a ton of minutes, but him and Roberson are defensive closers in all those end-game defensive possession situations.

Remember when this guy couldnt shut the **** up about dumping Favors? Now DFavs is the missing link. We could be rolling with last year's team minus Rubio plus Bojan Clarkson and Mud. That team would be fun and we wouldn't be getting punked all the time with Jae and Favors out there.

Who said "Derrick Favors isn't part of the problem, he is part of the solution?" It was that lying sack DL right after the end of last season. You had Jae wanting to recruit some buddies, Korver wanting to give it one more run, Rudy looking forward to a healthy Neto and what he would bring, Grayson coming off a 40 point game in the show and two first round draft picks. I could have been GM and not screwed it up as badly.

See if Philly wants to get rid of Harris and take a chance on Conley. Try Bog for Rubio, need someone willing and able to pass it to Rudy.

Conley, Clarkson and Mudiay all might say "I'm gone."

I went on record on May 14.
If we lose Clarkson because of all of this HOLY **** has this season been an absolute catastrophe.
Straight up, I would consider buying out Conley if the Jazz can't find another team to take him on. The Jazz need to commit to what is good here, they have hemorrhaged assets to get to this point and losing real NBA players would be disastrous.

This seems prime for some smart-aft remarks.
If I was the GM for the 2020 offseason I'd....
...remodel Lindsey's office and have his mail forwarded to Houston or wherever he lands.
...trade two firsts for a new pg.
...Cry, because I won't know until after the draft if Conley is opting in/out.
...trade Rudy for anything I can get because there is nothing left in the cupboard.

Rudy still has a lot left in the tank I think. Plus we're a small-market team. Careful what you wish for sometimes.
