NBA Free Agency Moves in General (related to the Jazz, but not just moves made by the Jazz)

Probably has more to do with the fact that Withey isn't very good, and Udoh is much better than he is.

Got to give DL this. Jazz were deep last year and somehow the Jazz got even deeper. Could the Jazz be the deepest team in the league? How much will that offset the major star power of teams like the Cavs, Warriors and Rockets?

And I keep forgetting that Rubio is on the team lol. Gobert and Favors are going to love that.

A deep team is great - for the grind of the regular season.

It does you no good in the playoffs though. The postseason is built for stars. Rotations shrink and an injury to a key player can tank your championship dreams.

Jazz have one star right now - Rudy Gobert. Derek Favors and Ricky Rubio have performed at a near All Star level in the past, and Hood, Exum and Mitchell will all be given opportunities to show that they can be Stars as well. The key thing this year will be turning themselves into the best defense in the league and somebody (anybody) stepping up to fill the star void alongside Gobert. Jazz do that and they'll be in a great spot.

Personally I hope that the Jazz see any combo of Exum, Hood and Mitchell step up. I agree on the regular season v playoffs which is why I question how much it'll offset star power.

Having a killer D will be a massive plus.

I am also highly interested in how the rest of the starters do with a pass first PG like Rubio.

From Twitter reports seems like the start of the framework of the Melo deal is something like this

Houston gets Melo
New York gets Mo Harkless
Portland gets Ryan Anderson
4th team takes on Meyers Leonard

That fourth team better be getting a top 3 pick or something
 
Dennis Lindsey was probably agonizing all day over an article for the GMs Tribune to announce that they've renounced Withey but that it was a really hard decision and he hadn't decided until just now.
