Sentiment among several NBA officials is that Justin Zanik will wind up back in Utah. #NBA Justin Zanik, Milwaukee Bucks

that was my first thought but in what role? His job was given to someone else. Sounds like he could be headed to Cleveland

[QUOTE]Regardless of what Hayward does end up doing, Dennis Lindsey has a plan.[/QUOTE]
And? He has a lot to prove as a GM as far as I'm concerned. This summer should tell us a lot
[QUOTE]My alternative reality assumes if Hayward leaves, none of the other free agents will be retained. Meaning Joe Ingles, George Hill, Shelvin Mack, Jeff Withey and possibly Boris Diaw will be somewhere else.[/QUOTE]
Probably right but I could see Mack back maybe

top 5? :wtf:
[QUOTE]The Pacers want young players to build around. Hood has established himself as a do-it-all shooting guard with guts. He is obviously a building block the Jazz have to be protective of. [/QUOTE]
He is? :rolleyes:

[QUOTE]Most of the trade proposals floating around the web have been something along the lines of Derrick Favors, one of Alec Burks/Rodney Hood/Dante Exum, and either both first-round picks from this year, or this year

He said earlier that he wasn't opting out. Big for the Spurs. Can sign Hayward or Hill

[QUOTE]Brooklyn had been rumored as a destination for George Hill, though it was never really clear how serious that interest was. Brooklyn, though, undoubtedly would have been the team that had the most cap room to offer Hill a large contract.
"I told him, if he gets a crazy offer somewhere else, and we helped him get that offer, you're not going to get one poor thought, much less word, if he goes elsewhere," Jazz general manager Dennis Lindsey said about Hill in May. But now, it looks less likely that he'll get that crazy offer.
That, in conjunction with Philadelphia trading for No. 1 overall pick Markelle Fultz, also a point guard, means that the market for premier point guards like Kyle Lowry and Hill has dried up.
That means it's much more likely that those players stay with their respective teams, who can offer them a contract that goes above the salary cap limit thanks to holding their Bird rights.[/QUOTE]
He wasn't headed to NJ. Philly I could see. They could be good if they get healthy
[url]http://www.ksl.com/?sid=44711605&nid=294&title=ben-anderson-jazz-can-facilitate-nbas-biggest-blockbuster-trades[/url]
[QUOTE] the Jazz have a series of mid range contracts, owed to rotation-level players, that could be included in a trade to facilitate a deal.
Boris Diaw has a $7.5 million deal that is fully non-guaranteed, meaning any team that acquires him could waive him immediately and not have to take on his salary this season. Derrick Favors has one year and $12 million remaining on his contract, and when healthy is a starting-level power forward in the league.
Finally, the Jazz have Alec Burks at two years and $22 million that they can trade. Due to Burks' injury history, his deal will be the most cumbersome to move.[/QUOTE]
Joe Johnson! Did anyone else watch him suck against GS? He has to go! Diaw maybe. I think they could sign him to a cheaper deal. Favors and Burks need to get healthy first
[QUOTE]The Minnesota Timberwolves are interested in acquiring the Bulls' Butler but may be unwilling to trade budding star Andrew Wiggins to finalize the deal. Again, enter the Jazz.
The Wolves could acquire Butler in exchange for the Wolves' young players Zach Lavine and Kris Dunn, in addition to the No. 7 overall pick in the draft. However, that package is unlikely to be enough for the Bulls, and once again, the Jazz enter the picture.[/QUOTE]
Levine looks better than Wiggins. He is coming off knee surgery so I doubt he's too valuable right now anyway
[QUOTE]The Jazz could take on the final two contract years of point guard Ricky Rubio from the Wolves[/QUOTE]
Rubio can't shoot! How does he make any sense at all?
[QUOTE], now filling the void if George Hill leaves as a free agent. The Jazz again send a young player to Chicago to add to the package the Wolves have shipped out and include an expiring contract to free up cap space for the Bulls, or a first-round pick.
In summary, the Bulls acquire a series of young, affordable pieces with potential to be franchise cornerstones, in addition to first-round draft picks. The Wolves land a star in Butler, and the Jazz find their starting point guard for the next several seasons, while shipping out a young player, and either an expiring contract or first-round draft pick.[/QUOTE]
