I follow you fish, but i was just looking at roster changes.
I mean if you would have told me at the trade deadline or at the end of the Houstin series that everything would be better because the jazz would waive Jerebko and add Grayson I would have laughed. It is still not addressing the teams most glaring two needs.
It will probably be okay come October, but I feel it is still undone today.
Normally Id be with you on this. I think the team should always be trying to improve somehow. But I can buy into this one year that we see if we can get some internal growth(bake the cake so to speak). Everyone is still pretty young. Plus we didnt see much of Exum in the rotation, and Crowder was new. This team was pretty dang good late in the season. Its worth running it back and seeing if they can improve on last year.
I would have loved to add Jabari somehow, but Ill take this too. Should be another fun year. Grayson Allen or not. If he can contribute its just icing on the cake. Im not even putting much hope in what he has to offer this year.
As for cap flexibility next season...the whole league is gonna have it. The story after the season ended was jazz were going toi use all of this offseasons flexibility to improve the team while Donovan was young and while most other teams did not have flexibility .
A. Not everyteam will have a max slot.
B. Of the teams that do have a max slot available none of them will have Rudy, Spida, and quin and will be coming off a 55 win season and another good playoff run.
The Jazz should be attractive to a lot of players. Money, talent, winning, fun team chemistry, great coach, loyal orginization, great fans. Want all that and a shot at a championship? Then come to Utah.

Forgot fry sauce.
Oh, you are probably right. I have not seen it yet. What did Portland pay him?I thought Nurkic's deal was done?
I guess I just don’t yet buy Utah as a free agent destination in 2019.
I'd argue Stockton is quicker and a better defender than Burke.
This is a pretty big deal. Smart is probably just going to sign his qualifying offer and play this next season. That means they will have Smart, Rozier and Kyrie all as unrestricted or restricted free agents next year. If somebody signed Rozier early but Kyrie and Smart take time, it's possible that Boston loses 2 or 3 of those guys.

It would seem to me that signing the qualifying option is a pretty good indicator that you are gone as soon as you are contractually able. I would look to trade him if I were Boston.
Houston determined to get Carmelo... that is just great... can we start a gofundme to pay for his moving costs?
