2021 Free Agency

Days spent in Utah since the season ended by Donovan: Zero.

Also your point here?…….. Donovan can’t even do the literal bare minimum. Dwyane Wade reps the Jazz harder than Donovan Mitchell these days.
Days spent in Utah during his active offseasons by John Stockton: Zero

John couldn't even do the literal bare minimum. John Crotty repped the Jazz harder than John Stockton in those days.
 
So Nance basically for DJJ and a protected first from Portland... Pretty sure we can easily afford it had DL not gone for Favs last season. It costed us just as much to send his salary off to OKC.
 
I really don’t get the Lauri hate around here. He’s a young, 7-footer that shot ~.600 TS% and 40% on threes. The Cavs traded a dude not on their timeline and a 2nd for him, which is kinda nothing since this looks like a rebuild move.

I couldn’t tell you exactly what their plans are with Love but it feels like a buyout is inevitable since I don’t think anyone is trading for his contract and he might be cooked.

As far as Jarret Allen goes, someone is going to have to come off the bench nominally, but they could run a 3-man big rotation that gets Mobley and the other two ~30-ish minutes per game.

I think everyone made out pretty well here.
I'm not hating on the guy, it's just that the only skill he's shown consistently is his shooting. I think he can keep developing, for sure. The way they're allocating their resources, including overpaying for both Allen and Markennen, makes zero sense to me.
 
I think POR is due for a nice bounce back year if they still healthy. If they could move CJ for a good two-way player that would be even better...but I like their top 6-7 guys.
 
2 players I would like to sign

- Dante Exum - I know I know he is injury prone. Chances of him coming back are slim to none but he is a very good perimeter defender that can guard 1 - 3 easily.

Had a decent Olympics. Might not get as injured as a 10 to 12 spot on a roster or even deeper.

- Harry Giles - when he has gotten time he has been productive.

There is not a lot of time in our loaded front court. He has a lot of potential and is still very young.

Here is what I see as the roster

Pg - Conley, Butler, Forrest*

- I know it is very assumptive of me to put Butler as the primary. If not then there is room for say a Dante.

* two way contract

Sg - Mitchell, Clarkson, Oni

- this seems as solid as can be but again could have some room for Dante he is a lot better than Oni.

Sf - O'Neale, Ingles, Hughes

- Brantley has some potential here but Hughes is just not an NBA talent. I hope I am wrong. There is room here for Dante also.

Pf - Bogdanovic, Gay, Paschall

- probably some of the best depth on the roster. Brantley could see time here.

C - Gobert, Whiteside, Azuibuke

- this is also pretty solid with some question marks on Doke.

So there are 14 permanent contracts.

Two-way contract is Forrest so far.

There is still 1 position to fill.

I see Brantley and Teague fighting for the second 2 way.

In conclusion I see a need for Exum as a back up PG to start until Butler gets better.

Unless Oni and or Hughes are moved that is about all there is.

I think the Jazz would like to develop Hughes into a player that's close to Reggie Bullock. I think they believe his shooting will be there for the most part, and they're trying to teach him to defend. He's mostly just a catch-and-shoot guy right now. If he doesn't make real progress this coming season, who knows if he'll stick.

I like Lauri Markkanen as a system player who works in a defined role. He's a good pick-and-pop/roll player who may need to be hidden a bit on defense. I think he would be quite good playing next to Rudy.
 
My pipe dream was that Millsap would have been agreeable to coming in as a deep bench piece and replace Brantley. He may be doing that in Brooklyn. I’ll have to look at their depth chart.

I don't think that was ever in the cards. My Best Buy sources tell me he was really upset the way things ended here the first time and was further upset with Elijah's treatment here. I know both actions were by different GMs but the stink is hard to get off the organization at times.
 
I think Millsap might be the best out of the Nets AARP big man rotation. He was really good before he got injured and was placed on the bench behind Gordon. Maybe Jokic was the one keeping his career alive…but I still think he has a lot of game left in him. Playing next to stars is better for him than trying to lead a bench unit.

I wanted this also. Though I'm also willing to sign Exum for cheap simply because I can call him Stan Darsh every time he messes up.

I'd take Exum back. I know people said he shouldn't come back but I don't see him getting any other offers in the league. Let him come back without pressure.
 
I hope we do but I would guess someone else snatches him up. Maybe not. We'll see.
I would also say that this is the type of situation where there may not be a lot of incentive from either side to buy out.

He will get released... they have 19 guaranteed deals and have to trim to 15 by training camp. This deal is basically them saving $500k in salary and getting some very minor draft capital... they were going to release Hernangomez. If Dunn new he had a minimum offer he may take a slight haircut on a buyout to get a deal done now. He also may just wait for the release and get all his money and take his chances at getting a minimum deal later. Either way... he becomes available for a small deal in the future.

Good to hear. Any other teams that may be interested in him or have more minutes available? Also slightly concerned, even though we had an awesome off-season, that we've still got some lingering DL "good enough" comfort.
 
You guys can’t get my hopes up on Dunn. I’m seeing that this trade can’t be finalized until the 15th. Reading through Twitter comments I don’t see anyone talking about wanting Dunn. I hope we’ve got an eye on him.
