I think we are developing (tanking) for at least another year.

I'd be on board with a tank if it involves competent coaching focused on building team defense shooting and other needed skills.

Then I'd say lets sign Hayward with Williams or Jefferson as a back up instead of signing Ariza as starting SF.

Me too... I'd also like a more entertaining tank. More Gobert, Exum, Burks, less RJ and Marvin. I say we bring one of them back. Both are super pros.

Hayward is a SG. Ariza is a SF. Signing Ariza puts the Jazz in something like this:

Burke (30 mins a game), Exum (13 mins a game), someone else (3-5 mins a game)
Hayward (28 mins a game), Exum (10 mins a game), Burks (10 mins a game)
Ariza (30 mins a game), Hood (13-15 mins a game), Hayward (3-5 mins a game)
Favors (30 mins a game), Kanter (13-15 mins a game), FA (3-5 mins a game)
FA (25 mins a game), Kanter (13-15 mins a game), Gobert (whatever is left).

If Hayward is brought back, it probably means the end of Burks in Utah. Signing a SF has little to no effect on Burks/Hayward. Also, due to defense and running a system offense, it would not surprise me at all if Kanter's minutes drop during the season and Gobert's rise and Gobert does simple things, like running the floor, setting good, early picks, and running the offense and not Alfense.

We need to sign a backup PG, a SF and a big man.

It might just be me. I'm hoping Hayward gets 50 mil and walks to PHX and the Jazz sign Ariza as his replacement.

I would love that move. Then extend Burks and Kanter with fair and reasonable contracts.

If the Jazz sign Ariza what does that mean for Hayward?

LOL.. you're asking me that????






YOU'RE REALLY ASKING ME THAT??????

It means Burks is gone and Hayward is back.

Then sounds like Jefferson is your man.

Yea because Kanter listens to Jefferson. I think this notion of veteran leadership is overplayed just a little. It is nice to have guys when you have rookies because they don't know how to find the bathroom but our Core have been in the league for 3-5 years now. They should be taking the leadership role. Now I am not against getting a vet or two if they know their place which is to play backup minutes and show the guys the rope. I don't know if AJ is going to be happy sitting on the bench more this year and I will scream if he is given the same minutes he got last year.

Management views Hayward as a SG. They are trying to find a legit SF. That is Ariza. Burks is a bench scorer. He isn't on their level, sorry. If we can get Hayward and Ariza, we are trading Burks if at all possible.

Basically, we don't need to tank but we also don't need to waste valuable minutes or salary cap space on mediocre vets just to help us win a few extra games.

Allah dis
