You're the GM this offseason. What do you do?

Can the jazz just wait to strike out in free agency and then call up Memphis for a trade?

Yes, but they may not have Conley at that point. We could certainly resurrect some of those "is Parsons > Hayward" discussions.

Even if Conley is hurt most of the season, we're still improved because we're not trying to force a center to play PF and we will have hopefully picked up another PG who's not Exum. And maybe Jazz leaves if Exum is gone, so there's literally no way to lose the Conley trade.

But is the new PF just Jae Crowder getting 35+ minutes with Niang spelling him? Because that's still extremely meh.

Need a backup C too, and going from the best backup in the league to a minimum guy is tough. Rudy's health becomes unbelievably important for next year.

I think Rudy Gay would be a great stretch 4 option for us if we get Conley. I wonder how much he would cost?

Nah, we'll have options to find a new power forward. Mirotic, Gay and Jabari are all possibilities.

I have no problem keeping Favors, but where's the salary match to come from then?

They’d have to release him. So it would still cost us Favors as part of the trade basically.

I think. I most definitely not a cap guy.

Wtf could the conley trade be...

Also conley getting a bit old, hes gona need load management for sure

Are they possibilities?

Don't we only have the room exception at that point?

On a draft day trade, those salaries must match for teams in Utah and Memphis' situation with the cap. After FA starts, we can eat the contract. Depends when it happens I guess.

This is insanity. Why are we clinging so hard to this?

We should have the room and MLE.

If favors is not on the table then what?

Exum + ???

The answer is yes

 

[infection]

I suppose we could match salary by trading Exum, Crowder, Korver, Bradley, and Neto, but that'd be a lot more stupid than just trading Favors and Exum.

 

[SCS]

If Favors isn't in the discussions that means any trade before free agency would end up like the Lakers/Pelicans trade. It would be agreed upon in principle but couldn't be officially completed until after free agency begins. And Utah would have to renounce Favs and Rubio for it to go through.
