Why
That’s interesting because we waived Jerebko but didn’t take any kind of flyer on him when he was cheap. So they may like him, but they must not like him at $7M as much as they like Niang at $1.5M.
I'd like the Jazz to play Brantley a series of games before they make their next move. At a certain point, you have to see what he can do when he's not playing next to Kyle Collinsworth and Trevon Blueitt. We might have something with him. He can do a bit of everything.
He's been injured so much that I don't think he really plays hard anymore. Plus, you need your nuts.

I mean, I’d do it. But Miami doesn’t have all those open slots, so they obviously only do this to shed salary (which may be a concern). They are a legit threat in the East, though, so I can see them retaining all depth.

I’ve thought about Frank... don’t think he’s the rebounder-defender we need.

Knicks can get way more than Davis for him.

For what? Already had a vasectomy.
No, but, aside from rebounding, neither is Bradley.

I'm a big Brantley fan but I just don't think he's ready, even with our current bench play. He looks like he's a year away. His 3 point shot is kinda funky and doesn't go in enough to be a threat. And a lot of stuff that makes him successful in the G-League isn't doable in the NBA. He can pound the ball a lot to get to his spots and back people down for a while with his thicc backside, and that won't fly in the NBA.

For sure. I’m glad Bradley is gonna get his chance over the next month. But I expect a legitimate upgrade if he doesn’t step up. Olynyk would be an upgrade (not a great rebounder, but I think he’s a good team defender and plays pick-n-pop while moving the ball... those would be huge attributes for us). Frank doesn’t feel like one.

Just remembered another two people Locke had talked about quite a bit in the offseason: Ryan Arcidiacono and Tomas Satoransky, both on the Bulls. Sato is probably not available, especially with the Bulls in 9th place and in the playoff hunt at 13-21. He makes 10mil this year and next, then 5mil guaranteed in 2021-22. Arci makes 3mil this year and next year, then team option in 2021-22. Probably don't need another 6'3" point guard anyway. Sato is around 6'7" but, again, probably not available.

I just saw a blurb that the Clipps were interested in acquiring Baynes.
They didn't seriously try to sign him. The Sixers initially got a verbal agreement with him for something like $3 million a year on two or maybe three years before he reneged to go back to Europe, then being brought back to the NBA by the King's "big" offer.
Jazz straight whiffed that one.
Yeah, that’s why it’s funny that we hear they’re “interested” in someone they could have easily had.
I guess the thing I forgot to add is that they would've been able to sign him for less than $7 million a year, too. But I guess that figure was waaayyy too high, so they instead pinched their pennies to spend ~$10 million on Exum and $17 million on Favors.
