I'd rather just roll with Jingles and Joe Jesus. Not sure that James Johnson brings much to the table and the Jazz need to win or lose with their young'ens. Give me lots of Hood, Exum and Mitchell this year.
NBA Free Agency Moves in General (related to the Jazz, but not just moves made by the Jazz)
- Thread starter Ferguson_Mellochill
- Start date
The interesting question for the Celtics is choosing their philosophy and eventually dealing with their wing logjam before issue solves itself.
If I assume they go small ball their lineup looks something like this:
Thomas - Smart
Bradley - Rozier - Smart
Hayward - Brown
Crowder - Tatum
Horford
Personally I feel like this way their defense will be not contention worthy, but we'll see...
I think the only way to contend with Isaiah Thomas is by having a good to great interior defender(switch capability or rim protector) - Either of Gobert, Davis, Gasol or Jordan and other candidates who'd emerge in that category include Embiid, Giannis, Porzingis, Towns, Noel, Capela, Adams, Turner
If they go with a more traditional lineup they'd need another big somehow and then their lineup would look like:
Thomas - Smart
Bradley - Brown - Rozier
Hayward - Tatum - Crowder
*** - Crowder
Horford
They'd need to use 1 or two wings and convert them into a big. Not a clean roster makeup right now even though with their depth and those juicy 2018/2019 first round picks they control they'd get a deal done

How much do you guys think Rudy Gay would cost per? He's not ideal but if the Jazz aren't going to retool the roster then we could definitely use a scorer like him. We just lost Hayward and Hill off of a team that wasn't extremely potent offensively to begin with. I would be okay with him on a one year deal. Maybe a second year team option. He's coming off of that Achilles injury but I feel like we wouldn't have anything to lose signing him short term.
Damn.. when you put it like that. It's kinda painful...

I'm fairly sure with the timing on that one if Hayward returns we get Patterson.
Also Enes Kanter would like to have a word with you.
Even after all the Hayward BS I will not turn on Joes deal. If they wanted to trade him on that deal they can.

I'm happy to roll out youth out. They've all missed out on opportunities this year because we were in 'win now' mode to appease Hayward. Also, the FAs available do nothing for me.

He took the taxpayer MLE of just over $5 million per year. It's a 2 year contract, and then he opts out. Decent risk for him. Don't act like OKC made this great move to go get him. They offered the salary slot they had and he took it. Jingles got a market level deal. . . and I don't think it had anything to do with Gordon Hayward. He got to test his market and then brought those numbers back to the Jazz. I'd rather have Jingles over Patterson.
Wrong. The owner made him trade Harden.

The problem is that there is little threat to create the needed spacing to get Hood and Ingles open looks. Rubio is going to have to force teams to respect him in the PnR.
Ingles, Hood, JJ and soon Exum and Mitchell will make teams play them close on the 3 point line.
Until then Exum and Mitchell might get a lot of open looks.

Guys check out the clips offseason
they cashed out Chris Paul for 7 players and a 1st next year, added Gallinari. That front court is DJ, Griffin & Gallo That's like all-time greatness

They added Teodosic as well.
No way in hell are they better without CP3, but they probably got more "fun".
