I’d guess Niang.
Same. This is to bring in Gorgeous George.

Tony Jones always seems off on things. He said he feels like the Jazz will guarantee Jerebko/Udoh and call it an off-season.
Not even 16 hours later they waive Jerebko.
He said they could guarantee Jerebko and Udoh without announcing anything, but I don't think Tony actually said they would guarantee them. If he did, it was probably just his impression, which was all of ours actually. The move was kind of surprising honestly, but makes sense on it's face as to why.
He shouldn’t be going off impression like we do. He has actual connections with the team. It’s obviously not a big deal at all but he seems to be off a little more than he should.
As an organization, the Jazz are so tight you could shove a lump of coal up their buns and have a diamond in two weeks. Tony hears the same way as Locke does. That being what Lindsey wants them to hear.
Sure the Jazz are tight lipped, but Tony usually has a good feel for what's going on inside. It appears he missed here, but missing on a Team option for a career end of bench guy is not a blemish on Tony.
It might very well have been the Jazz were wanting and ready to stand pat 2-days ago. Maybe a deal popped up in the last 24 hours, maybe a summer league player caught their eye, maybe an agent called and offered to deliver a player to the Jazz. Maybe Jonas asked the Jazz to be released so he could have a bigger role on another team.
Tony Bradley is concerning. a tradition styled center with limitations and the dangerous "up-side" If I was a GM I would be very reluctant to draft a project in the late first round. I'd rather draft a guy who could contribute the next season if necessary, even if his role was very limited.
as it is, Bradley is sucking up cap space and a roster spot and is so far away the Jazz can't count on him for spot minutes as a third center. If Jazz were in a rebuild or had a different roster composition I would be warmer to the idea of "developing" a back-up.
That's what I think too. It's looking like the Bulls will match though so if anything, I would have gone a bit more, like $22m per year (if that's possible), just so the Bulls don't match.
Also Aaron Gordons deal is really good. I wish we had that contract. Oh, well.
"Gordon will earn base salaries of $21,590,909 this upcoming season, $19,863,636 in 2019-20, $18,136,364 in 2020-21 and $16,409,091 in 2021-22."

I guess maybe Chicago could make Jabari an offer around 12-13 million per year. Markkanen can play the 5 and they could have a decent starting lineup with potential. But they did just draft Carter to play C/PF.
