Favors next season?

[infection]

I sincerely believe that the 2018-2019 version of the Jazz will look almost exactly the same as the 2017-2018 version. They're going to be aggressive in summer 2019, not this year. We can win 50+ games next year if we bring everyone back.

What if we clear enough cap space to sign Rodney Hood to an offer sheet?

And yeah, if the Pelicans look to cut bait on Mirotic's money, the Jazz are in prime-position to buy low. At which point, best of luck, Faves.

I call them everyday after the season to see when they are ready to do the deal. Non guaranteed contracts plus a second... they save enough to re-sign the broken Boogie Cousins

I doubt that to an extent that I have difficulty describing. 2nd round picks aren't worth $11 million (and the cap number that comes with it). Bradley isn't, either.

I don't think it's a difficult trade to make at all. The Jazz might not want to do that and might not value any FA's this summer enough to care about paying for clearing out cap space. But they can move Alec if they want.

I think he’s trending towards the MLE 4/36. I’d do it.

I think you are going to look foolish for saying this.

I've been told the same before and usually the opposite is true. But sure, we all are wrong sometimes.

On the other hand, dumping $10 million a year into a poor-man's Shaun Livingston isn't enticing to me.

Do you have any precedent? I can't think of anything close to one. No team is paying $11 million (and their cap space) for a second-round pick.

Jazz management comments give me the impression that they see a lot more in him than you do, and since they have a lot more info than you do and have also proven their ability as talent evaluators, I expect them to be a lot more correct than you.

I didn't say only a second round pick. It would be a pick and a player that a team values. I actually agree with the other poster that says it's more likely that he's traded to take on a longer contract. If they can find a player that fits better (a 4 would be great) then that might be another/better option as he's expiring. Either way I wouldn't want to hamstring options by paying Favors some ridiculous amount that puts us near the luxury tax and is twice his open market value.

 

[Quin's Murderface]

Okay.

It's not that simple, but if it is/were, I'm fine with it.

How is it not as simple as that? I mean the only bad outcome is if you pay him for 4 years and he is absolute garbage. If that is a realistic possibility then you shouldn't sign him at all. He could get injured but that would be different. He doesn't have chronic injury concerns as far as I can see so that would just be really bad luck. What else am I missing?

Just saw niko statline last night. 26 points on 12 shots. Pretty efficient. (10 rebounds too)

I mean I'd do Burks+2nd for Niko, but I doubt they trade him at this point.

The reason the Pelicans would trade him is to not take salary back, so that doesn't make any sense.

Since the Jazz have three guys that can be waived after July 1st, they basically have the chance to bundle them to the Pelicans, then Pelicans waive them and shed the whole bill.
