KSL Reporting that the Jazz and Bogdanovic agreeing on a 4 year $74 million...dude is getting paid. Honestly I didn't watch many Pacers games so I don't know what to think other than that's a lot of money. I guess we are really paying to have the fit of a stretch 4.

C - Gobert, Davis, Bradley
PF - Niang, Reed/Cavanaugh
SF - Bojan, Ingles, O'neal, Brantley
SG - DM, Exum, Oni
PG - Conley, Neto, Wright-Foreman

Sign one more big FA for backup C/PF with the exception we have ***done***, but I think this might be our team going forward. Obviously some of our 2nd round picks could get bumped to 2-way players if we get some veteran min guys to sign

Just a question, how do we match up against the 76ers now with embiid and horford without favors???

They will have some spacing issues.

I initially thought this but both bigs can shoot the three

Not reliably though

We'll have to make our shots. Get Horford or Embiid switched up on Mitchell or Conley let them attack. Or single out Tobias. Don't miss our shots. We should be fine. Granted if Jeff Green is the last big we add, could have some issues.

We are now a shootout team, depending on what we can get with the RMLE.

I don't like our chances of just trying to outscore teams with James Harden, Lebron James, and Kawhi Leonard on them. That's a formula for regular season success and playoff disappointments. Gonna miss Favors.

We just signed Ed Davis

Now we can match up with the double bigs of the league with Davis, Gobert. We can also bomb like crazy with a stretch lineup with Bojan playing the 4. Solid rotation with Conley, DM, Ingles, Bojan, O'neal, Davis, Gobert taking most the minutes. Neto, Exum, Niang filling in the gaps.

I'm pumped to watch Utah next season! You guys did well the past couple weeks to really make the most of a wide open opportunity. Good luck!

Jones says the plan is not to play Bojan at the 4. Ingles will finish at the 4 and come off the bench. Still looking for a starting 4.

But that was before the Ed Davis news. But Jones also said the Davis plan is at the 5.

We have a Jae Crowder hole.

Jerami Grant would be tits.

Faves and Ricky were both awful fit-wise with Gobert. The Jazz are doing the right thing in getting guys that fit better but it's a bit sad imo.

Pouring one out for the 17-18 season. I will continue to follow from afar; best of luck Jazznationals!

Philly is going to be a offensive juggernaught. But I think I see a lot of holes in a playoff series that Quin or other head coaches could exploit. Simmons, Tobias, Embiid, Horford is a huge lineup. But I don’t see many of those guys guarding a high pick and roll with smaller guards. They are going to get blown by a lot by quick small guards.

He would. The only trade that seems to work is Niang+Bradley+Neto+O'neale. So, does Grant lead to more wins than O'neale? I think he might.

Marcus Morris would be great as the starting 4. Any way we can get him?

I bet they try to do what Milwaukee did last year on defense. But I also expect them to do a 3 man rotation at the big spots with Embiid, Horford, and Harris.

I think Noah Vonleh could be an option at the 4 for you guys. He showed he belongs in the NBA last year starting for the Knicks.

He's always had range and a reasonable handle, he showed decent defense and rebounding last year. Could be a sneaky, good cheap option.

You only need a role player there.

Honestly to be fair I think lineup decisions is coaches job not some Knicks fan that highlights as a Jazz broadcaster. If Quinn thinks Davis/Gobert can play a few minutes together because of the matchup then it will happen.

And don't sleep on Willie Reed. He got injured last year in the G-League but he might get his opportunity to shine in summer league and make the team. And he has a big body, seals his defenders well, good hands on the catch, and soft shots. He might be a surprise to some.
