All I want for this year is to fill out the roster with short term contracts and spend the minimum salary and roll with the young guys.

I literally dont care who the Jazz sign or for how much as long as it is for one year and the purpose is for us to reach the salary floor.

This summer will define the franchise. Either be a treadmill team and sign "blah" guys to long term contracts, or strip the franchise down to its core players and start building around them.

We're set up so perfectly to do it that its ****ing painful to think we might miss this chance. I dont have full confidence that the Jazz will have the balls to go for the Home Run. Worried they'll play it safe and sign Millsap or someone like him to a long term contract.

So will ya'll burn ESA to the ground if Schroder is on the board at 14 and the jazz take someone else?


I have this nagging feeling that the Jazz end up with McCollum and the price will be the 14th pick and Alec Burks.

I would not be a fan of this. At all.

Umm, I know he talked about taking on contracts in locker flea out day and on 1280 some. It was never just one thing he said though, and I can't think of exactly where to find it. When he talks about "flexibility" this is what I think he means.

i do.

i havent been a jazz fan for that long, the way i see it you dont trade deron williams for derrick favors and draft a player like alec burks #12 unless your a homerun hitter, ive been waiting for this summer for the jazz for years, i think we are gonna do big things

if we S+T al for a top 15pick (maybe??)
S+T paul for a pick and expiring
Trade hayward + marvin for the rights to draft Shabazz and servicable player or pick

after next season, other than whoever gets signed this summer derrick favors will be the only one waiting on a bigtime contract, and he will well deserve it by then. maintaining our flexibility into the draft next year

Larkin, Schroder, Tinsley
Burks,Foye,Schroder/Shabazz
Shabazz, Burks, Mitchell, Evans
Favors,Kanter, Mitchell, Evans
Kanter, Gobert, Favors, Jaiteh

Edit : Muhammad wins RoY and sells a ****load of jerseys in this scenario too

Probably. And I took the bait. Oh well.

Still, $10 million for an actual late 1st rounder isn't hot return. Jazz might be able to do this and just take on Hump in the middle of next season if nothing better comes along?

Oh yeah, I forget that we dont actually have to be at the salary floor by the start of the season.

That makes this deal seem a little worse since we could wait til the trade deadline, but we dot want to sign Millsap or someone with hopes to trade them at the deadline for a player like K Hump and a pick because having Millsap for half the season could ruin our tank. But yeah, we can just wait and see what comes up at the trade deadline and add salary then. We wouldnt actually be giving a team an asset in this scenario though, and NJ wouldnt need to unload KHump at the deadline because he is expiring anyways.

thinking through this as I type.

I still maintain that you are on drugs. Why trade Hayward for bazz when you could just trade a pick and some money for him in a month? Then you would have Hayward and bazz. And you can't sign and trade for picks.

I usually just ignore your posts but then I saw that a couple of people said it was a good post so I decided to read it. I agree, good post. Maybe I'll start reading your posts now.
