Bad NBA Contracts for Assets Explained

I think it's time to consider taking a bad contract if it means getting multiple firsts or one really good asset. Who is worth pursuing (contracts do not include this year):

Mahinmi 2 more years $31.5 million

Ryan Anderson 2 more years $42 million

Noah 2 more years $38 million

Asik 2 more years $23 million

John Henson 2 more years $21 million

Dellevadova 2 more years $19.5 million

Deng 2 more years $37 million

Marvin Williams 2 more years $29 million

Ron - on what world do you think we will win enough the next 18 months to warrant enough wins to lure free agents?

This one. We can still make the playoffs this year if we can get healthy. If not we can definitely make it next year. Pretty simple. Gobert and Mitchell are high level players and can get you to the playoffs. Players will want to play with them.

Unless you dont think they are good enough to build.
 
Win enough. Barely making the playoffs is not winning enough to lure some big free agent.

I think people will want to play with those guys, but there is no guarantee that we can get somebody when so many other teams will have money in 2019.

And to add to this, the Jazz organization clearly has a good rep around the league. I mean, it's really the whole reason we have Donovan in the first place. If you go back and watch his post-workout interview, someone asked him point blank why he was even there, seeing as he was projected way out of the Jazz's range. The answer came down to the fact that his agent steered him towards the Jazz because of the quality of the organization.

Rudy + Donovan + stable organization with great coach and management = pretty desirable landing spot.

I think that cap space two years from now is going to prove much more valuable than a late 1st round draft pick.

Yes, making the playoffs is enough to lure a free agent if you have two really good player already and a good coach. But I dont believe we are barely a playoff team when healthy.

There is not guarantee of anything, that is not a reason not to try. There is not guarantee an NBA draft pick can work out. There is not guarantee any player will be the same the next season or healthy.
 
I would trade Favors, JoeJ and Hood for Biyombo, Simmons and their 1st and not feel bad. Honestly, its a brilliant plan for our future.

Orlando has the third worst record in the league. I’d imagine they’d hold on to that pick.
