Zach Lowe tells Utah (and a couple other teams) what to do in free agency

[Deleted member 848]

No, Lee was just on a near max deal signed for multiple years. Kind of weird to think that is a core piece when they are getting 33 mpg.

He was getting 33mpg in 2014-2015?

None of the big guys are coming here for 12 M or less. Tobias likely gets 14+... DMC got 15... Wes wants 15. Danny went for less but its clearly a hometown discount and you have to factor no state tax as part of that.

I'd max out Harris.

Been thinking about it for a bit now today. Harris was very skilled at Tennessee as a playmaker. I think Orlando has kind of suppressed some of that play-making ability and it would flourish under Quinn. He would be a great stretch 4 in situations as he can actually shoot the 3 ball and would give us good minutes at the 3 also. Find a dumpster to leave Burke in and play Burks some minutes at the 1.

Right and let Harris do an *** job guarding 3s while we move Hayward back to the 2 even though he had the best season of his career attacking and defending SFs last season

He could take a similar jump to what Hayward did last year. I think Boston will offer Max (they aren't getting anyone)... so it depends on if he wants to play a great role on a winner or rack up stats on a middling East Coast team. Don't know his mental makeup.

Who says he has to start? He is our super sub.

I'm talking about 2013-2014.

On a winner? The Celtics have a better chance of making the playoffs next year than the Jazz do. He'd be #1 option on offense in Boston, play in a superb system that makes every player perform better/play with a superb coach.

Gee, I wonder if Tobias would rather back-up Hayward and Fav, or go in an easier conference, and be the man, and likely be paid more. Are y'all even thinking before typing these posts out? In what world would Harris choose to come to the Jazz?

Harris ain't coming to Utah.

 

[NAOS]

Yesterday Dal mocked me for getting too far into the head of Middleton when I said he was going to stay. Today, Dal is in the head of Harris, Green, etc. etc.

 

[NAOS]

for the record, I don't want Tobias Harris.

 

[NUMBERICA]

I'm just going to say that Jae Crowder is one of the few left on my list. And I all-but-know he ain't coming. But he's still out there.

Celtics and Mavs are leading the chase for him. Can he make the jump in three-point shooting like Carroll did? I have my doubts. That seems to be what everyone is looking for in terms of FA-options on this forum.

Winning is not about one year guy.

I also don't think we can talk him into it, but if we were close on an offer and were upfront about his role you never know.

Why would Isiah Thomas sign a cheap deal with a team that had two starting point guards and just drafted another... because these guys don't all think exactly the same.

 

[Deleted member 848]

If I'm Jae Crowder, I'm staying at Boston. You finally find a team and a system that uses you properly. Ask FO for Tobias, loads of playmaking, hope they trade for a defensive big. Set.

Bellineli is really the only mid-tier wing I have an interest in.


Matthews also, depending on how you tier him because of injury.

Because it was most likely the best offer, monetarily-speaking, that he received. 99% of NBA players would go to a team where they have a larger role, if salaries and playoff-prospects for the next three years are equal.

It started with the "Pray for Burke" thread.
