We Need to Sign Brantley

You don't seriously think the Jazz will/should break up this duo, do you?



I'm being more serious than kidding here. I don't think the Jazz are likely to cut anyone at this point of an odd season in which they're not particularly well positioned to make a strong playoff run. DL/JZ are not Morey.
 
The only reason I would sign him now is in being proactive in signing him in case he has a big playoffs and warrants a bigger contract or something.
 
All teams will be bargain hunting because revenue will be drastically down. I think it would be a smart move to lock-in as many bargains/minimum contracts as possible, otherwise the Jazz could face a economic crunch (no arena games for another year). I would also trade away 1st round picks this year and next year for 2nd rounders.

Keeping the first round picks we have and drafting well is crucial. It is important to have young players on cheap 4 year guaranteed contracts. Even more important in the Jazz current situation. We're trying to contend but going forward we are limited financially in our options to improve. We NEED the picks we have. We need the growth potential for cheap.
 
Bleacher Report saying we should cut Oni and add a veteran for the playoffs.

How about Pau Gasol to back up Rudy Gobert? Or either a wing scorer (probably not Nick Young or JR Smith, stylistically, but perhaps Jamal Crawford or Crabbe) or a defender (Shumpert)?

Shumpert might not be bad to help out with some perimeter defense.
 
The NBA has been gone as long as a typical offseason... This should be consider year 2 or year 1.5 for Brantley and Oni... they learned the system... they've had time to work on their weaknesses... time to throw them into the rotation and see if what we have is worth keeping around. Give Brantley a deal similar to what Dort got.
