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

I’ll get flamed for this but I’d reach out to Carmelo’s agent. No promises. Def not a starting spot unless he earns it. A one year deal. An expectation he busts his *** on defense and isn’t a black hole on offense. We need guys who can create. Threats. If we retain Udoh or Favors behind him, I could see it working.

We've got a goddamn ****ing genius on our hands! Watch out people! This one really knows how to put the ol' noodle to work!

His plan doesn’t work... he should drop it. Even if he cleared waivers why is he giving us the discount when he could likely get something similar and a starting job.

Remember he didn’t say they need to keep me... he said they need to pick up my option (he used the wrong terminology) that’s about money as much as anything else imo.

So retain Favs, let Ricky walk, add Lamb (who is okayish but Quin May murder him) and try again next summer? We might get better with internal development but that sounds like a recipe for 48-52 wins and a first or second round exit... nailed it!

My plan does work because my plan is - waive Favors. If somebody picks him up as an expiring $18 million contract, so be it. That's not gonna happen so I'm not worried about it. Then we offer Favors fair money to be at a place he keeps saying he wants to be. But once again, if he chooses to leave, we have a clear conscious. We waived him with the intention of keeping him even longer.

If Favors stays or goes in my plan, we still have $20 million to spend or $33 if he leaves. Thats a ton of money either way. I don't think we are in play for a max guy so that $20 million is plenty to have conversations with the 2nd level free agents like Bojan, Randle, Lamb, etc. Or conversations with multiple 3rd tier guys.

I'm not for this train of thought, but let's just jump down the rabbit hole:

If we trade Conley for Favors, Exum and our 2019 pick...

then do

Korver, Bradley, Neto and our 2020 1st to Miami for Olynyk and the #13 pick

Why for Utah - we got our starting PG in Conley, but we'll need a quality C behind Gobert. Olynyk fits our DNA and needs through his gritty play and ability as a big to stretch the floor. #13 could be used to add a key piece for the future.

Why for Miami - they are desperate to get under the luxury next season and clear cap room for 2020 spending. They dont have a 2020 pick, so this works nicely for them. Korver can be waived so this trade saves them millions this summer and next.

If you waive someone, people bid on a waivers claim. So if Dallas decided they’d pay $5M, it means the Jazz are on the hook for the balance.

Not how it works... they’d have to take his whole contract which could absolutely happen.
