Jazz have dipped their toe in the shallow part of the luxury tax pool with the Favors/Clarkson signing. Projected $3M w/14 players under contract Midlevel exception was used on Favors
[/QUOTE]

A player that won't pass and no starting 4. Stupid!

Oni, Tucker and Brantley. Guess some of them might be gone now to save money

Not splashy from the Jazz but it is particularly nice to see a front office have a very deliberate & clear plan, then execute it w/o a hitch in the offseason. Says a lot about the Jazz that 2 of the free agents in small 2020 pool got deals done immediately and long deals at that
[/QUOTE]

It says everything about the Jazz and why they have been mediocre for their entire existence

I'll be curious how often Quin Snyder uses Derrick Favors at the four. You can certainly run some enormous lineups with Bogdanovic, Favors, and Gobert making up the front court. Whether they actually do it remains to be seen.
[/QUOTE]

It will end up being the same as before. Sucks!

Allllllllso....Azubuike is still super young and hasn't played basketball in 9 months. Come back too quick you could end your career. So, get a guy who can be the center of the future while you slowly bring him along and let him learn from the best. It's not a horrible plan.
[/QUOTE]

now that's a good plan! Thought they had to have guys that could play right away? :D

[QUOTE][h=4]Please no DF starting at PF. He was wasting his talent stting in the corner hoisting 3's. We never did figure out how to use 2 interior bigs on the offensive end. We wasted 12 minutes a game trying to give DF his allotted 27 minutes.[/h]

yep but the sad part is he's the only veteran PF on the team

Pretty Certain that .... Jazz will have Donovan Mitchell or Mike Conley on the floor for all 48 minutes at the point guard Jazz will have Rudy Gobert or Derrick Favors on the floor for all 48 minutes at the center
[/QUOTE]

Of course. The problem is when they are on the court together. Even bigger problem i when anyone is on the court with Clarkson and they don't get to touch the ball

I appreciate that some Jazz fans seem to believe that Gobert and Favors are indestructible and will never miss a game. Let's just make the rosters 10 players. That would definitely not backfire.
[/QUOTE]

no one thinks that. We know Favors will be hurt. If Rudy is they will suck

We'll have to see if the Jazz come to an agreement with Rudy Gobert this offseason on a contract extension, or let it play out. But now having Favors and Azubuike, the Jazz have at least given themselves a contingency plan in case of a scenario where Gobert isn't on the roster.
[/QUOTE]

The plan better be to tank because they will suck

I'll just save us all the time and tell you exactly what Quin Snyder will say about how he's going to use Gobert/Favors: "It'll be mostly based on matchups. Both are very capable and successful defenders who have their own unique abilities on both ends." So, we'll see on Dec. 22.
[/QUOTE]

It will be based on whatever Quin thinks which is another problem

[QUOTE]I hope having 3 shooters on the floor let’s us still have a good offense with Favors and Rudy together. Because the defense was great from what I remember. I think Favors needs to play more than just backup center to really get value from him. If the team cannot function with Favors and Rudy together, this was either a waste or a Rudy trade will happen.

[/QUOTE]

Who wants a good offense when you could have a great one as last year? It was a waste. If they get rid of Rudy they need to trade Favors, Conley, Bojan and Ingles and tank

The Jazz did a nice job of handling free agent business tonight, and are getting lined up to be really good again next season.
[/QUOTE]

Yeah another good team in Utah! :lol

Everyone, including myself, needs to take a step away from draft mania & realize most of these guys aren't playing this year. Then most of the ones that do are probably going to look really bad. So we can stop acting like the 27th pick was a chance for the Jazz to become elite.
[/QUOTE]

pretty much what you and others have been saying. Need someone to contribute immediately!

[QUOTE][B]Stupid if he does[/B]


RO at PF is a waste of his talent, it really hurts his energy and offense.
