Possible Hint To KOC's Next Move

Jean-Luc said:
I'll bet KOC is still listening, but after the Raja and AlJeff signings I don't see the Jazz going any further into the luxury tax.

Also, I really don't care if DW or anyone wants to bring Brew back, I hope the FO has realized their mistake and will not again try to play a player at shooting guard who has no jumpshot.

+Reputation.

Bulls fans are in for a rude awakening if that is indeed where he ends up.
 
I could see a deadline deal maybe. Like a 2% chance. They like long 3's who can shoot (AK can a little) some and play some 4 and they're big on defense. Plus AK's expiring. Perhaps they'd unload some mediocre contracts of about 14M to take on AK's 17M+. We'd get Gortat and others at 14M and save some money this year. They'd add LT this year but save a lot in the long run with AK expiring. Maybe Gortat and Bass for AK? I don't know, I'm just spitballing here.
 
Can't see them doing much with Okur on the books. We are still going to have to outscore people for the time being.

I'm pretty sure he was talking about the rest of the league when he said that, not the Jazz. I'll be extremely surprised if we sign anyone to more than a minimum contract from here on out. Probably Fes, Evans, Yata, and Jeffers.

Evans, Yata and Jeffers are already signed to non-guaranteed minimum-salary contracts. Fes is the only one unsigned, and we have a QO for him.

It also occured to me since my last post we don't need Gortat, not at $12M, if we sign Fes. We really only want a guy to come in for short stretches if we go with a frontline of AJ/Memo at C and Sap/AK at PF. Even if Gortat > Fes, the difference is not worth the difference in salary for the minutes available.
 
It seems the conservative move would be to fill the rest of the roster with the smallest contacts possible. Wait for Tomic to become available next season, he's not going to be cheap. You'll have AK off the books and possibly resigned on the cheap, Memo in the last year of his deal, and the core intact.

Hopefully and most importantly, at or under the tax.

This.

The rest will probably be more conservative: Fes, Evans, Augustine.
And I like the idea previously mentioned of dropping Gaines in favor of Carlos Arroyo.

PG: Deron, Price ..... Arroyo
SG: Bell,
SF: CJ, Hayward ..... Evans
PF: Millsap, AK ...... Augustine
C : Jefferson, Memo ..... Fes
 
I really wanted Brewer. but it might be better for the Jazz to dump Yata and upgrade their backup PG.
