Jazz Offseason Plan

You can have all the skills a team would want but if you cannot stay healthy what is the point. It is not like Porter had one injury and then played two or three seasons. He has been hurt every since he signed his mega deal. You guys complain about all the injuries Exum had well Porter isn't that much better. I know he played more games but still he is hurt a lot. Now if he was only taking just the vet minimum then ok. If he gets hurt it doesn't hurt you financially. I still like Craig and Portis Jr even if it is not possible to do.

Can someone remind me, did we meet with Porter in the summer that Hayward left, or was it just scheduled? Something like that might help our chances if he was impressed before

Supposedly met with him.
 
I remember when free agency included these guys flying to these states and scoping things out.

It was from Tony Jones. He said the Jazz have one major target for their TPMLE and that he'll drop the name tomorrow in his story for The Athletic.

Don't know why Tony keeps saying these things that he quickly regrets. He's been deleting more tweets recently.

I’d far rather have him on the vet minimum, if the Jazz can get him at that I’d love him. I can’t believe he just turned 28, he seems old as hell.

He tweeted it again



He also says he knows who it is, he did delete that one though lol
 
In the next couple of weeks you are going to see a bunch of players hit the waiver wire in the form of salary dumps, his team signs a free agent and he has to go for cap purposes or some sign and trade swaps and the receiving team just doesn't want the player.

Chicago is putting together a big offer for Lonzo Ball. Thad Young, Daniel Theis and Ryan Archi...whatever are available.

I think the Jazz would go after Nic Batum before Otto Porter.

Yeah but Clippers are gonna have the edge there. Porter might fly under the radar with his health issues and be a candidate to gamble on. I really think we shouldn’t spend much mental energy entertaining the idea of Batum.

I think Gay is a good candidate IF the Jazz are allowed to S&T Niang to the Spurs, otherwise he will probably go to a premier market/franchise if the offer is the same.

So I think Porter is worth targeting, otherwise it’s Torrey Craig or scouring the G-League/Europe.

Kawhi is out all next year, and Rudy is talking in Batum's ear every day during the Olympics.

Kawhi being out is just as likely to be a selling point as it is a detracting factor if he’s looking for a greater role/minutes.

But yeah, Batum is basically universally seen as high on the list so I hope you’re right.
 
I think the Batum stuff comes from playoff PTSD where we saw him be competent but nail a bunch of key (wide open) threes. He’s solid all around, and we could definitely use that, but I think there may be a few guys who could do that who would be more relatively undervalued to Batum because of our decency bias compounded by trauma.
