2024 NBA Free Agency Thread

[Coach Ellis]

Who?

Reserve 3 & D W/F for the Heat. Not sure how much or how long I’d want him as a role player. He was undrafted and has gotten into the Heat rotation with hustle and a high work ethic, but I don’t see much upside.

 

[Coach Ellis]

If the Jazz do plan to renegotiate and extend Lauri in August, how much functional cap space do they actually have? Anybody know?

Looks like the Jazz want Juzang back

Unless we trade multiple players for one, free agency may be non existent for the Jazz

Under Contract (or rights owned)

Sexton - Keyonte - Collier - (Preston 2W)
Williams - Clarkson - (Juzang RFA)
Markkanen - Sensabaugh - (Procida - Euro)
Hendricks - Lofton - Bazley
Kessler - Collins - Filipowski - Yurtseven

Free Agents
THT - Dunn - Samanic - Lewis, Potter

I don’t think any of the free agents come back, and I could see the Jazz trying to add one more SF/PF type of player in free agency. Personally, I’d just bring over Procida on an 4 year contract (last year being a team option) and count this season as a redshirt year for him.

Clarkson definitely isn't a lost cause. Players of his ilk can have outlier bad seasons randomly and return the next year back to form. Get him back in a role that makes sense and he could have a career year. He's gotten undeniably better under Hardy, I think he just needs his overall load dialed back a bit

I'm not sure how he has gotten undeniably better under Hardy when he his coming off the worst season of his career. Yeah he probably will snap back a little but I really want to see those minutes go to younger guys rather than a 32yr old Clarkson. If we have the opportunity to swap his contract for a similar one like Gabe Vincent then I say we jump on it. I wouldn't feel bad about sitting Vincent on the bench in favor of younger guys while I would with Clarkson because I do like him.

PG is not mentally tough enough to play in Philly, that will not end well

Well if they give us their draft then that would be lovely.

 

[Step-Back Lauri]

I just want them to bring back Kris Dunn. I have a feeling this is finally going to be the summer he unlocks his Popeye from downtown. And makes a 50% jump in made threes going into next season.
