2019 off-season- Bring back the same group for more of the same?

[url]https://hoopshabit.com/2019/05/23/utah-jazz-could-they-land-tobias-harris-this-offseason/[/url]

[QUOTE]With the post presence of Rudy Gobert at center and Derrick Favors at the power forward position, that would leave a spot open for Harris to fit in within the starting lineup in Utah.
[/QUOTE]

Favors will be gone if they get Harris. They wouldn't be getting Harris to play the 3 :wtf:

Jeff Goodman: One name in the mix for Juwan Howard

David Morrow: Teams and players will now be permitted to begin free agent negotiations at 6 p.m. ET on June 30, rather than the previous start time of 12:01 a.m. ET on July 1, the NBA and NBPA announce.

[QUOTE]Verdict: Let go [/QUOTE]

Unless Niang or Crowder go I don't think there's a place for Cavanaugh. They need a starting 4 and a young 4 in the draft as it is

[QUOTE]Verdict: Keep, but only on a reasonable contract
[/QUOTE]

Thabo would be stupid to come back. He's too good not to be playing

[QUOTE]Verdict: Keep
[/QUOTE]

Unless they get rid of Favors he has to go to give Bradley a shot

[QUOTE]Verdict: Let go, but try to bring back on a team-friendly deal
[/QUOTE]

Favors has to go

[QUOTE]Verdict: Let go
[/QUOTE]

I can see Long on the team. A combo guard and he's been better than Allen in the Gleague

[QUOTE]Verdict: Keep
[/QUOTE]

Should let Neto go where he will be appreciated

[QUOTE]Verdict: Keep
[/QUOTE]

almost have to keep Korver. Who else can shoot?

[QUOTE]Verdict: Keep
[/QUOTE]

O'Neale should be in line to start if they don't get Conley or Beverley or someone else that fits

[QUOTE]Verdict: Let go, but try to convince him to take a bench role if possible
[/QUOTE]

Ricky off the bench I could live with but he thinks he's going to lead a team to a championship! :roll:

I think he would make the Jazz better but shouldn't be high on their list. Conley is a better fit. Need a modern 4 most.

[QUOTE]The most important summer in Utah Jazz history?
[/QUOTE]

not sure how it's more important than all the other years they wasted :wtf:

[QUOTE]Before Rudy replaced Enes Kanter in the starting lineup, we were a lottery team (even with Gordon Hayward leading the way) once Rudy started and became the leader, he completely changed the identity of the team.[/QUOTE]

was actually Hayward and Favors supposedly leading them then. They haven't been good without Rudy since either

[QUOTE]If you were GM what would you do?
[/QUOTE]

first you build a team around Rudy and see how you do. We've never seen that except for briefly with two over the hill 4's

[QUOTE]Okay, if you were GM what would you do? Keep the pick? Trade it? If you keep the pick who is your target?
[/QUOTE]

Hard to say. They need to target a 4 rather that means moving up, back or out

[QUOTE]Free agency has never been friendly to the Jazz. Their biggest gets have been Carlos Boozer and Mehmet Okur. They were relatively unknowns who the Jazz took risks on who turned out to be part of the core for one of the funnest Jazz teams ever! Since those signings who have we signed, Joe Johnson? Our own players (which is no small feat considering Hayward

[QUOTE]With Zamora and additional kitchen staff members Ben Maldonado and Bernie Calder fueling Jazz players behind the scenes, Utah was able to reach the playoffs for the third consecutive season with the 16th 50-win season in franchise history. Zamora takes his role so seriously because there is a direct correlation between proper nutrition and on-court performance.

So it's Zamora, Snyder, Lindsey, Mitchell not Gobert?

[QUOTE]No team gets to the top without taking risks. And the Jazz will have to veer from their reputed conservative path at some point and take a few chances of their own if they hope to reach the next level.
[/QUOTE]

which is why they are who they are and will continue to be happy to be good not great

[QUOTE]However, chemistry also has a ceiling as the Utah Jazz showed clearly this year. After a spectacular conclusion to the 2017-18 season and due to limited options in free agency during the summer of 2018, the Jazz organization chose to lean towards chemistry and run things back with a nearly identical squad. Unfortunately, things didn

[QUOTE]23. Utah Jazz: Nickeil Alexander-Walker, W, Virginia Tech. The Jazz could use a playmaker to help out Donovan Mitchell on the offensive end. They have plenty of defense but need some offense to help them get to the next level. Alexander-Walker can play a combo-guard-like role, is a decent shooter and can create a shot for others.
