Tony Jones: As free agency approaches, the Utah Jazz are one of the teams that have shown interest in UFA Thad Young, League Sources tell The Athletic. But the list of interested teams is a large one. As of now, no meeting is scheduled as the jazz think through what to do with Derrick Favors

[QUOTE]Adrian Wojnarowski: Charlotte has been scouring the free agent point guard market, considering such options as Elfrid Peyton, TJ McConnell, Ish Smith and Emmanuel Mudiay, league sources tell ESPN.
The Dallas Mavericks are among a handful of summer suitors who are interested in forward Tobias Harris
Additionally, the sources say his present employer, the Philadelphia Sixers, are confident they will retain the much-traveled Harris, who this year averaged 20 points and 7.9 boards in the regular season, both career-highs, shot 39.7 from 3-point range and served as a go-to guy on a contending Sixers team.

[QUOTE]This is the obligatory inclusion. I do not think Kevin Love is an option and I believe all the talk of Love to Utah is being floated out there by Cleveland to build a trade market that does not currently exist for the stretch shooting big man. While he can light it up from distance, the question with Love is can he guard the four spot? The answer as Love gets older might become more and more of a resounding no. He can guard the five, but then Utah finds themselves in a similar situation with Favors and Gobert. Two big men who play the same position but cannot spend a lot of time on the court together.

There's too ends of the floor. Love can shoot. He fits. :wtf:
[QUOTE]Other than having a fantastic name, JaMychal Green is another value play for the Utah Jazz at power forward. He shot 40% from three last year and can rebound the ball well. He could play small ball five in a pinch. He

getting the guy that fit better than anyone in the league was the right choice? Imagine that. Too bad he's not as good as Exum. Might have a title
[QUOTE]Props to Dennis Lindsey, Justin Zanik and Co. for taking the savvy approach that should pay major dividends in the 2019-20 season and beyond.

[QUOTE]Despite several potentially enticing alternative options, the Utah Jazz should keep Derrick Favors this summer and see what he can do with Mike Conley.
[/QUOTE]
Why? we already know Favors man will be guarding someone else and he will be paid a lot for not very many minutes
[QUOTE]Obviously, trying to advise the Jazz on what to do would all depend on who is truly available. If players were beating down the door to sign in Utah, perhaps the argument to let Favors walk would be stronger because of the abundance of options. However, though we may never know specifics, there could always be that chance that the Jazz were open to parting ways with Favors, but the right interest from other parties simply never occurred.

players should be beating down the door. Get a modern 4 and you will have people lined up for the championship run

Bojan would be a nice fit I think. With the West open and Conley being 32 they need to go all out now. Even if that means trading Exum and his "potential" you go for it. Rudy is in his prime, if it fails then you've still got a 25 year old Donovan Mitchell to rebuild around again after Conley and Ingles are likely done.
Albert Nahmad: Due to the slightly higher than projected finalized 2019-20 salary cap ($109.14M), the Jazz could potentially take Mike Conley into cap room and still retain the non-guaranteed salaries of Derrick Favors, Royce O

[QUOTE]The player that seems most likely to be included or waived to make the deal work is point guard Raul Neto.

Which sucks but I'm happy for Raul. He's never been appreciated here. He needs to go elsewhere. Not sure why they brought him back this past year other than he is close with Rudy. Won't easily be replaced :applause:

[QUOTE]The NBA now knows the official salary cap number for the 2019-2020 season. That figure? $109,140,000. That might seem like an arbitrary number, but that number means that in order for Utah to complete the Mike Conley trade on July 6th, they will have to cut either Raul Neto or Georges Niang. Right now, it appears that Raul Neto
