Jeff Zillgitt: Can confirm Otto Porter will sign four-year, $106.5M offer sheet from the Nets. Wizards will have until 11:59 p.m. ET on Saturday to match.
[QUOTE]Alex Kennedy: With Otto Porter signing Nets
I could see Goss and Wallace being in the mix later on in the year possibly as well. Trade Johnson and Diaw. Favors/Bolomboy at the 4. Rudy and the yet to be signed back-up
[QUOTE]Alex Kennedy ✔ @AlexKennedyNBA
The Utah Jazz have expressed interest in Rudy Gay now that Gordon Hayward has moved on. Also interested in Otto Porter as @MikeAScotto said.

[QUOTE]He didn’t get to start right off the bat and play big minutes as a rookie, but he was a bigger part of the rotation than Derrick Favors (the #3 pick of that same 2010 Draft class). He was the only one out of the Favors, Enes Kanter (#3, 2011), Alec Burks (#12, 2011) group that had a regular role in the roster for much of their rookie contract.[/QUOTE]
all rotation players except Burks
[QUOTE]Or that he would one day have a statue in front of the Delta Center EnergySolutions Arena Vivint Smart Home Arena Aunt Viv — that was the last straw for me.
How dare the Jazz’ own propaganda wing forget their own history? Gordon Hayward? Up there with John and Karl? Really?[/QUOTE]
Sloan isn't up with them either
Hard to put anyone ahead of him on the list as far as all-around game. Him leaving doesn't diminish what he did

Jazz should have made the moves so he couldn't have said no. Rookies and Ingles and Rubio was a step back
[QUOTE]Adrian Wojnarowski: Sources: Boston, Utah sign-and-trade talks dormant since AM. Celtics engaged throughout NBA on Avery Bradley, Marcus Smart and Jae Crowder.

[QUOTE]Andy Larsen: Dennis Lindsey: “We believe Ricky Rubio will be a 2017 facsimile of Jason Kidd.” – via Twitter andyblarsen[/QUOTE]
Kidd wouldn't work today either. I'd prefer Rubio over Kidd. At least Rubio doesn't take a lot of shots unlike Kidd though Kidd could make a lay-up

[QUOTE]The marquee positional matchup of the Utah Jazz summer league probably happened Wednesday night, with Dante Exum facing No. 1 pick Markelle Fultz at the point guard position.
Both of those players impressed, but it's fair to say that Exum won the matchup by a hair.[/QUOTE]
not that encouraging after 4 years really
[QUOTE]that's one reason why the Jazz are beginning to envision Exum as a primarily off-ball player: so he can catch the ball with an advantage and do his thing.[/QUOTE]
The fact that he hasn't looked like a pg is the main reason. They've love his length at the 1 defensively
[QUOTE]Griffin has a contract for next season with Pallacanestro Cant
How did Goss look? I was on a plane. Can't get the box score either!
Goss 6 TO's against Philly! Some 3's steals and a block though
Bolomboy played better it looks like
Goss hit the boards in the last oneas did Wallace with some playmaking.
Michell struggled but had 4 steals

[QUOTE]Again, the Jazz would likely have to trade an additional asset to the Celtics in order to entice them to trade Crowder to Utah instead of the other 28 teams. But Crowder would be a great fit in Utah as a 3-and-D combo forward, and his contract is great.[/QUOTE]
What kind of asset? A 2nd rounder?

[QUOTE]"Certainly having wing size and getting that replacement would be very key," Lindsey said. "There's not as many prospects left on the board because of the timing. So we'll take a look at it. We'll look at prospects at really every level, whether it be European or some of the summer league prospects and we'll find someone hungry who can help us defend on the wing."[/QUOTE]
Don't really see it being the biggest need. Back-up center is as far as I can see. If the guys you have don't cut it make moves later on in the year especially with Favors.
[QUOTE]With that said, we believe Rudy Gobert is the best center in the NBA. We think Ricky Rubio is going to be a 2017 facsimile of Jason Kidd. Rodney Hood can be a primary scorer. We'll start there. Derrick Favors is now healthy; he's a unique defender."[/QUOTE]
1 out of 4 anyway

[QUOTE]Mitchell and Donovan can surely provide a boost, however, Lindsey is not ready to pinpoint what the rookies will be called on to provide.
"We don't want to put too much [on them] too soon," said Lindsey.

Same guy! :wtf:
I'm sure they will call on them too much too soon. Have with everyone but Bolomboy and Wallace

[QUOTE]That's been Exum's goal throughout summer, a critical one for his future with the Jazz. Four years into their careers, lottery picks are expected to produce.[/QUOTE]
Don't matter where they are pickes they have to produce. He's playing for a job in the NBA! No more guarantees because of where you were drafted or your age

[QUOTE]The counter is this: Build an outfit that's great enough, attractive enough to keep its players, come whatever suitors may, even if the home base isn't a huge metropolis.[/QUOTE]
Yep. The Jazz brought this on. Once Rudy emerged they should have been all in. Still aren't.
[QUOTE]They have fantastic, committed ownership, an enlightened front office[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE]Lindsey said he could see Rubio leading the league in assists as a Jazzman, although he admitted "we may have to find him some more shooters" to field around him. Rubio himself is a below-average shooter in the NBA (40.2 percent from the field last season), but Lindsey said the Jazz may have an opportunity to develop that once Rubio starts working with Utah coaches.[/QUOTE]
worst shooter since 1980!
[QUOTE]Rubio has spent at least part of his first days in Utah attending Summer League games, sitting alongside Rudy Gobert. Once they hit the court, that’s part of the Jazz vision as well: unleashing the duo in pick-and-roll. While Hayward is gone and there’s little Utah can do about replacing his production, with Rubio and Gobert, the organization sees the potential for a fearsome offensive duo. "At the point of attack, you’re gonna see two large individuals in Ricky Rubio and Rudy Gobert making sure we get that pick-and-roll channelled in," Lindsey said. "We’re really excited about that. We think the integrity of that will be there."[/QUOTE]
The only logic I can see but who's going to guard either on the perimeter so they can even run the pick and roll?
[QUOTE]The season before last, Favors averaged 16.4 ppg and 8.1 rpg, while also contributing 1.5 blocks per game. Healthy, Utah sees him as a good defender at the 4 and 5 spots, with wingspan that can help deny at the rim alongside Gobert.
Utah needs some things to go right this offseason, and so far, there’s encouraging signs that Favors could be one of those things. Favors’ own enthusiasm to be healthy might outpace that of his coaches.
"Derrick wants to play every day," Lindsey said. "We’re not sure that’s the wisest thing, but we’re really excited to get him back to previous levels."

Still worried about him playing every day. Not a good sign. Explain how he can play with Rudy, Rubio and possibly Exum at the same time
