Unfortunately for Thabo, our deadline to make a decision on him is 7/1. I think we should decline his option and re-sign him later if both sides still want it.
$5.5 for Thabo is not a good value.

Agree. Crowder took over Thabo's role.
Jazz can always add Thabo for part of the MLE if they don't find anyone else they like.
I think it takes almost the full MLE for Minnesota not to match for Bjelica. But they just might anyway since they're looking to trade KAT and Wiggins. Either one of those trades gives them salary relief.
And what's this about Exum at $15M? I believe that's just his cap hold, correct? I think a few teams would offer him the MLE, though. That's nothing for a former #5 pick who has been injured, but shown flashes. He's worth the risk if a playoff team has room under the tax. Or, he's still young enough to be a key rotation player for a rebuilding team. He'll get at least the MLE.
1. Decline Thabo's option. He's a joker, he's a smoker, he's a midnight toker.
2. Get a final answer from PG.
3. Offer Bjelica up to the MLE. Might be an overpay, but we need his shooting.
4. Re-sign Dante
5. Make a decision on Favors.
6. Re-sign Udoh and Jerebko. They're not really needed, but the expirings could be very valuable trade chips for matching salaries at the deadline.
