What's new

You're the GM this offseason. What do you do?

Decency bias?
Regency bias. Sorry. I usually try to proof read because I type on my phone and it’s amazing how autocorrect can insert something that reads fluently but totally changes the meaning (not that necessarily, but other stuff).
If we dont get Niko can we please ban infection from saying his name anymore.
To be fair, I haven’t really mentioned him for quite a while, and I remain fairly skeptical about us really maneuvering in a way that would include him.
 
Knowing that Harris is a pipe dream, I really want Portis. Which pisses me off because he’s a bit of a pipe dream as a RFA. Depending on how he’s valued by Washington. I’m assuming that in order for Portis to sign an offer sheet the jazz need to wave Favors contract.

I do think he’s low on their to do list though. Is he worth the risk?

We could use a little regency bias in our government right about now, but let's just consider Conley Haywad's regency bias.
 
We are making a bit too much of Niko hitting a cold streak in the playoffs. He was cold Ersan was hot... Bud rode the hot hand. Niko was pretty damn good in the playoffs the year before and has played well against teams like GS and Houston the last 2 years... but yeah he won’t be able to stay on the court in the playoffs...

going by the evidence dude wasn't just a cold streak, he was too easily exploited and Bud decided he was unable to stay on the court. Derrick's play has won us a couple playoff games.

He didn't get benched because he went cold. He got benched because he went cold AND was getting cooked and repeatedly targeted on defense.
 
Dunc'd on mock off-season update:

Can you guess who Pelton decided to use our MLE on? Yep... a center. 2/10 for Ed Davis with the second year being player option

So the Jazz related portion of the mock ended up with:
-trade Favors to Boston for fake 2nd
-give Favors' money to Mirotic (3/55)
-sign Ed Davis for 2/10 with second year player option
-MEM trades Crowder to GSW for 1st round pick and Shaun Livingston

Roster ended up being:
PG Mike Conley, Raul Neto, Justin Wright-Foreman
SG Donovan Mitchell, Dante Exum, ???
SF Joe Ingles, Royce O'Neale, Miye Oni
PF Nikola Mirotic, Georges Niang, Jarrell Brantley
C Rudy Gobert, Ed Davis, Tony Bradley

Thoughts?

At least they mentioned at the end that Pelton was too eager to get that deal done, and that GMs think less of Mirotic than them. So hopefully his final cost isn't near 18 million.

If we could just add a backup shooting guard I actually think this could be a very good team. In fact I'd prefer this roster over keeping Favors.
