The Jazz dealing over the last few days opened up enough room to use the full mid level for Derrick Favors and even after signing Clarkson kept them under the tax. Some real dealing from the Jazz front office

yeah real nice :roll:

Favors and the Jazz have agreed to a three year 27 million dollar deal, league sources tell The Athletic. The third year is a player option

Before we all make fun of the Jordan Clarkson contract, the Raptors gave DeMarre Carroll more than that five years ago.

How is Dok going to get any minutes? Unless means we trade Rudy?

this is exactly why you don't pay tax.

they need a starting pf so Favors isn't there

[QUOTE]Now we can run back our killer starting lineup (Conley, Mitch, Royce, Bojan, Rudy) AND have a solid core trio off the bench of Ingles, Clarkson, and Favors. Fantastic Top-8.
If Dok can play well and Brantley continues to improve we will be in excellent shape. Just need one more good wing to come in or step up.

the killer stating lineup with no 4 and an undersized backcourt and bad D. Have plenty of wings. Need a 4 not named Favors

(Other than Georges Niang, who I consider to be more of a SF.)

Maybe the best sign for Jazz fans? The team just spent $80 million in the first hour of free agency. Probably a good sign that new owner Ryan Smith is comfortable spending money to build a winner.
[/QUOTE]

If you remember last time they paid tax spending money isn't necessarily a good thing. It certainly isn't here

Considering that Clarkson was coming off a 4-year, $50 million deal I think that the Jazz did a good job with the 4 year, $52 for Clarkson. and for the length that he signed for, I'm fine with it
[/QUOTE]

considering he sucks they couldn't have done much worse

The Jazz took 90 minutes to check off their free agency to do list. Focus turns on extensions for Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert, according to League Sources
[/QUOTE]

Rudy's probably gone based on this mess

The Jazz were 10 points worse per 100 possessions when Rudy Gobert sat last season. That, in a nutshell, is why the Jazz prioritized Derrick Favors. I think there are scenarios where they can and should play together, but really, he's an overqualified backup center.
[/QUOTE]

they shouldn't play together

I don't know why you use a first-round pick on a big man who can't shoot when you have designs on bringing back a big man who can't shoot and already have another big man who can't shoot
[/QUOTE]

and you still have no starting 4! :facepalm
