[QUOTE]Some members of the organization also see point guard George Hill as a potential free-agent target. Hill had a strong season in Utah and most around the league expect him to remain with the Jazz or end up in San Antonio. Minnesota, which has interest in several top point guards, also could be a destination for Hill. The Knicks would likely have to create cap space to sign either Teague or Hill.

[QUOTE]Ingles is one of the best-kept secrets in the league. He is a three-and-D guy who is also a gifted passer. He was one of the key members of the Jazz in 2016-17, and he's definitely a player who is very important to resign.[/QUOTE]

At this stage in his career, Anthony might want to seek stability. The Jazz can provide exactly that.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE]Consider that Hayward will command a max deal, or near max, if he gives Utah a slight hometown discount, Hill is looking at between $16-20 million annually, and Joe Ingles will get plenty of offers as a versatile wing in restricted free agency, you are already looking at the Jazz being a tax payer in 2018. But it goes even deeper than that.

Exum should probably be the best player in the whole summer league. He should dominate. Why Summer league and not D-league last year though?

No mention of Ty Wallace yet again! He is there property. He will likely get one of the two way contracts. He's comparable to the Golden Child Exum actually!

I'm guessing how they address the whole roster will affect it. Him and Rudy need a lot of help.

Utah forward Gordon Hayward is entering his free agent visits this weekend with an open mind and without a clear favorite, a source very close to the player said Thursday.

So Lyles wasn't traded just because Denver wanted him? Big surprise! :lol

Don't think they could have done this without that trade

[QUOTE]Rubio has shot just 31 percent from the 3-point line in his NBA career, and makes only 48 percent of layups within three feet of the basket.[/QUOTE]

Now have at least 3 pg's that can't shoot or make a lay up. It just gets worse! :rant
