Summer 2019 Roster Discussion

[Sandman822]

Yeah I think Brogdan is just as unrealistic as trading for Jrue. Mirotic is a possible target though, and I think you could get Ilyasova for a cheap price too if they pay all their FAs (including Mirotic) and want to save some luxury $$$, although I don't think Ilyasova is the solution. He'd just be a bench piece that allows Crowder to slide into the starting lineup full time.

Not sure if this has been floated and it's not really a sexy signing... TJ McConnell is a free agent and is only on 1.6m this season, if you go with Exum as a starter next season could definitely be a good pick up off the bench. Would be an upgrade to Neto in my opinion and better value than Rubio if he wants big money still?

I like TJ but I think he's better suited to being a 3rd string guard on a playoff team. Super good locker room guy but he's not a guy I'd want to rely on in a playoff series if I can avoid it.

I think the 2019 roster needs to have Favors in it. I just hope we re-sign him for long term on less money so we, me especially, have zero reason to trade him any more.

If he was making Exum money, I would not even worry about trying to trade him.

He’s on a 19-20 team option. He’s ours if we want him.

 

[David Stern]

Man, I just noticed that Charlotte has dropped out of the top 8. While I know there's a ton of time left, if they don't make the playoffs, Kemba has got to at least look at other options, right?

 

[Jingled]

The way Favors is playing I don't see any way we that we won't pick up his option for next season.

 

[jom2003]

Middleton didn't pass the eye test today. Hope Bucks chooses him over keeping Borgdon in the summer.

I keep saying it... The Jazz should offer Kemba the max on the very first second of free agency. All the big market teams are going to be focused on AD, Kawhi, Kyrie, Klay at that point in time. Charlotte is going to miss the playoffs again. The idea of playing with Rudy and Donovan would have to tempting as all hell to him considering who he's been stuck playing next too for so long. Even if he really likes Charlotte, does he really want to stay there and keep losing??

 

[jom2003]

and yeah... we are keeping Favs for another year

 

[LoPo]

I understand that. My point was that I want to extend him to a smaller yearly number but for a few years so we don't have to worry about yet another season of a potentially expiring Derrick Favors contract.

Just keep the guy long term and know that we have that option at PF/C. It would be like what Miami did with Haslem. If he slides to the bench eventually, that's okay because we know what he provides on and off the court.

Miami is a team to keep an eye on. Riley is already talking about summer 2020 when he wants to have space for up to 2 max contracts. In order to get there, they would have to deal 2 of Waiters, James Johnson and Olynyk.
https://www.miamiherald.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/barry-jackson/article226513245.html

I wouldn't want Waiters or Johnson, and I'd only want Olynyk if we decided to move on from Favors. However, if there is a 3rd team who wants Waiters, maybe we could get involved and acquire an asset.

 

[NUMBERICA]

Real glad we’re paying $11 million for Rxum.

This is a tough one. I think that Kemba has Lillard-like loyalty, yet that team has been bad his entire career and has shown no signs of being able to find him any help. I can also see the appeal of staying in that situation, not having a ton of pressure to win, and putting up All-Star bids year after year. It will be really interesting to see what his priorities are this offseason.

No one we're going to have a chance at is a difference maker.

I think that it will be interesting to see what DL's strategy is. Maybe they won't be players in the 1st or 2nd tier rounds of free agency, but there are definitely guys who could make an impact who are buy-low type players.

Like who? Are we gonna sign Mrotic and play him over Crowder? Find a 3 to start over Ingles? Find a legit point guard?

Satoransky makes sense if we don't 1+1 Rubio. Outside of that, I don't see an upgrade at the point either. If Satoransky is even an upgrade which he very well might not be.

I think a smart, attainable free agent could be JJ Redick. Imagine him starting at SG with Donovan at PG. And we could probably get him without sacrificing Favors. Korver has done well for us, but I believe that JJ is better pretty much across the board. He's averaging almost 18ppg this year. He isn't the type guy who can initiate offense, but he's a guy spreads the floor heavily for everybody else.

If we could put together an end of the game offensive lineup with Donovan, JJ, Korver, Joe and Gobert with Gobert setting screens, try to defend that...

I like JJ but he has does dumbass **** and disappears in big games.

 

[David Stern]

I could see Redick, although I don't think he's leaving Philly. Not counting the Hood/Crowder deal, DL has really only made two moves in the attempt to build around Donovan: drafting Grayson, and trading for Korver. Summer 2017 he placed an emphasis on acquiring defense-first guys, but he didn't know what we had in Mitchell yet. Even with Rubio and Favors potentially leaving, we have enough defense-first guys in the rotation. Korver isn't an elite defender, but he works in the system because of who he's surrounded by.

I think this offseason you're going to see them target shooters and shot creators, even at the expense of defense. Mitchell needs offensive help. The three buy-low guys I see that make sense in those roles are IT, Hood, and Jabari. I probably wouldn't go get all three, those are just the names I can think of that would fit that description. They might suck on defense, but I trust Quin to get the most out of each of them on that end.

It's clear we need more guys on 10-15 million a year type contracts for trading purposes. $20 million a year Jabari Parker still (shockingly) had trade value in the NBA this season.
