Jabari Parker with some dumbass comments today... saying only way to get playing time was to be on coach's good side...
Yes a guy coaching for an NBA job isn't playing you when he knows it will make his team better because you aren't on his good side. Also, fantastic timing as your team is trying to win a playoff series.
I'm out on Jabari... too many red flags... too much BS
You're not accounting for cap holds. Jazz can't sign other FA's and then re-sign their own (e.g Rubio).There are much better options in 2019 than 2018. Just keep money available. If DL needs to pick someone up, do it for a 1 year deal, or trade for someone on the last year of their deal. Guys I like better than Parker in 2019, some realistic, some not.
Kawhi(PO)
Butler(PO)
Thompson
Irving
Love(PO)
Mirotic
Tobias Harris
Khris Middleton (PO)
Paul Milsap (team option for 30 million)
Lots of other names out there that will possibly be FA in that offseason too. I'm sure there are a few other players that would fit. Maybe we will just want to resign Rubio at that point, but I'd be upset if DL didn't at least try for some of the guys listed above.
No thanks. The much cost and way too much injury risk.Jabari has looked pretty good the last few games, I’d still love to get him

Jazz would need to take a step back next year and not re-sign Favors or Exum, replacing them with rookies or vets on one-year contracts. All in the hope that one of the above decides Utah is the place. I think it's much more logical to expect Lindsey to use Burks' expiring and assets at next season's deadline like whoever we draft this year, Bradley (if he shows some promise), maybe even Exum on a good deal if Dante starts playing well. There will be teams deciding to rebuild and Lindsey won't be overvaluing the Jazz' pick which should be in the mid to late 20's.
Or, maybe a trade gets done this summer. Just because the Jazz draft a player doesn't mean his rights can't be traded later (like Wiggins for Love). It's entirely possible, for example, that if Lebron leaves, Love will be moved.
