NBA Offseason Series: The Jazz are in position to set themselves up long term, but some questions need to be answered first
While Utah’s playoff run is over, the 2018 offseason is rapidly approaching and the front office has a series of significant decisions to make that affect their present and future. Lindsey’s offseason and the shocking success that followed puts the Jazz in a fascinating place this summer and deciding a path forward should be even more intriguing due to a series of significant decisions on free agents and what to do with cap space should they have it. The limited market could also lead both sides to a short-term reunion that allows Favors to get back into free agency in 2019 or 2020 without sacrificing Utah’s intriguing long-term flexibility. 2018 vs 2019 At the moment, Utah could have about $50 million in cap space for the 2019-20 season with an intriguing core of Mitchell and Gobert under contract through 2020-21. Potential free agents: Derrick Favors, Dante Exum, Royce O’Neale, Ekpe Udoh, Jonas Jerebko, Thabo Sefolosha and Raul Neto Likely summer of 2018 cap space: None Realistic maximum summer of 2018 cap space : $19.2 million 2018 Draft assets: Own first- and second-round picks Potential targets: Utah can go in many different directions, with the deciding factors being which free agents return and how much the front office wants to spend this offseason versus saving cap space for 2019.
