[QUOTE]With the forward entering the offseason as a free agent, it seems unlikely that the two sides would have any interest in getting a deal done. It seems safe to say Toscano-Anderson has played his last game as a member of the Jazz.
[/QUOTE]
probably but if they need another vet he wouldn't be a bad guy to have in the locker room at least
[QUOTE]Rudy Gay is another impending free agent entering the offseason. The longtime NBA journeyman has played a couple of seasons in Utah, but after the trades of Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert, it seemed inevitable for the forward to move on at some point.
[/QUOTE]
player option. He's likely with the Jazz at least until the trade deadline
[QUOTE]The center was a key role player for the Jazz this year, but the timeline for the team and the former No. 16 overall pick don’t exactly line up. Fortunately for Ainge, Olynyk’s play this past year only increased [URL="https://thejnotes.com/2023/05/03/ranking-utah-jazzs-top-10-trade-assets-heading-offseason/"]his trade value.[/URL] There’s no way to know for sure whether or not he will be back with the Jazz, but the writing seems to be on the wall: If teams inquire, the Jazz will likely listen to offers.
[/QUOTE]
they'll listen to offers for anyone. Danny likes him. He could certainly be sticking around depending on whatever other moves they are able to make. Need at least a couple vet bigs which is him, Lauri and Gay right now
[url]https://thejnotes.com/2023/05/05/3-utah-jazz-free-agent-targets-ties-lauri-markkanen/2/[/url]
[QUOTE]Utah ranked fifth in three-point attempts last season but just 20th in percentage. If Strus can get back to shooting near 40% at high volume, that would be a major win for the Jazz.
[/QUOTE]
need wings. Maybe
[QUOTE]Obviously, there’s a sense of unknown when signing a player from overseas, but the Jazz took that risk last season when they brought in Simone Fontecchio. Why not take a chance on one of Markkanen’s Finnish teammates?
[/QUOTE]
is he even on the NBA radar? Simone was one of the top players at the World Cup and Italy's best player. Also has size and can shoot. 6'2 guys aren't in demand
[QUOTE]As things stand, the Jazz don’t have a go-to starting point guard, so bringing White on board would give them a great option, especially considering he’s only 23 years old.
[/QUOTE]
Sexton? White could be alright off the bench but I'd rather have a vet like Dunn
[url]https://www.slcdunk.com/nba-draft/2023/5/6/23706786/2023-nba-draft-player-profile-gradey-dick-utah-jazz[/url]
[QUOTE]The main weakness Dick has isn’t so much of a fatal flaw in his game but more of a lack of being the kind of elite talent a team might be looking for in the lottery. Teams and fans like to see superstar potential in lottery picks and Dick doesn’t really have that. He lacks top-flight athleticism, a quick first step, length, ball-handling, elite passing, ability to draw fouls and so forth. There’s no doubt that he’s a shot-maker, but can he be truly elite? He’s more likely to be a Gordon Hayward or Bojan Bogdanovic, to use former Jazz player comparisons, than he is an All-NBA caliber scorer.
[/QUOTE]
big difference between Hayward and Bojan. Bojan was a scorer and shooter period
[QUOTE]There’s a trend among mock draft writers that the Jazz are in the market for a point guard, making Anthony Black and Carson Wallace more likely options. But don’t underestimate the chance Utah surprises people with who they fall in love with.
[/QUOTE]
Black with his size makes sense next to Sexton

he makes sense at the right price

putting the old gang back together. They need a 6th man too?

[QUOTE][B]Amen and Ausar Thompson[/B] - Overtime Elite
[/QUOTE]
in the other article it was just said Ausar has a 6'9" wingspan at 6'7" tall. He's not long :facepalm

if they are trying to get bigger at the position as has been said he's not the guy.

[QUOTE]Speaking of Alex Jensen, Scotto also reports that Quin Snyder of the [URL="https://www.peachtreehoops.com"]Atlanta Hawks[/URL] is looking to add the Jensen to his coaching staff in Atlanta.
[/QUOTE]
this may have had something to do with Jensen being let go to begin with?
[QUOTE]Jensen spent eight seasons as an assistant coach under Snyder in Utah. Bailey was an assistant coach during Snyder’s final two seasons in Utah and previously during the 2019-20 season. Kokosov spent three seasons in Utah as one of Snyder’s assistant coaches before becoming head coach in Phoenix for one season and then one season each as an assistant with Sacramento, Dallas, and Brooklyn. Lang spent five seasons as an assistant coach under Snyder from 2014-19 and has spent the past four seasons in Cleveland.
[/QUOTE]
Igor was his top assistant before getting a head job
[QUOTE]Will Hardy has already had a massive impact on improving the culture and play in Utah and it will be interesting to see how the Jazz continue to grow as a team and coaching staff. Will they continue to develop players like last season? Will things be different with these new coaches? There’s a lot that can be attributed to the former staff and the hope is you can keep the positives while leaving behind the things that didn’t make the team better.
[/QUOTE]
like the Bum? He's the one guy that would completely change everything about the team. Was such a pleasure to watch them when he was out!
Five pages already huh? Nice. :pimp:

not sure how Ayton makes much sense. Rather have Kessler
[url]https://hoopshabit.com/2023/05/25/nba-trades-4-teams-trade-nba-draft/3/[/url]
[QUOTE]If Scoot Henderson or Brandon Miller found their way to Utah, they’d both have a team that was ready to support their star turn without demanding instant impact. Neither would be expected to lead the Jazz to the playoffs anytime soon, but both would have the ball in their hands for most of their early careers, which could lead to a contending Jazz team in a half-decade.
[/QUOTE]
makes some sense with the difference in age between Lauri and their two rooks
[QUOTE] Kelly Iko: Now, if this was last season, a top-five pick is as good as anything. There are teams [interested]. [URL="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-athletic-nba-show/id1358187061?i=1000614688195"]For example, the Raptors have already called. There are teams that still believe that No. 4 is a pretty good pick.[/URL] And there are teams that are going to want to acquire that pick, but I’m just speaking in the sense of teams that have win-now veterans. What is the calculus about? Do we think, Amen Thompson or Ausar Thompson are going to really push the needle?

sure Ainge would be interested. If Rockets are getting Harden some vets would make sense more than another pick
