Last update: 8/8/22 at 11:51 a.m. MDT

James Harden, 10.0 WAR - 2-year deal (w/ a PO) to stay in Philadelphia

• Guard, unrestricted, declined $47.4M PO
• Jazz fit? The former league MVP opted out, but reports are that he did so in order to give Philadelphia some financial flexibility to improve the cast around him.

Zach LaVine, 7.0 WAR - 5/$215M deal to stay in Chicago

• Wing, unrestricted, $19.5M last year
• Jazz fit? The only way the Jazz could afford to get into LaVine's price range is if they worked a sign-and-trade. (Chicago is reportedly interested in a certain Jazz center.)

kYRI, 6.8 WAR

• Wing, restricted, $5.4M last year
• Jazz fit? Bridges is flirting with stardom and Charlotte holds matching rights, so this is basically a no-go. Update: legal troubles could also be clouding his future.

Montrezl Harrell, 6.5 WAR

• Big, unrestricted, $9.7M last year
• Jazz fit? Trezz would be interesting if the Jazz do indeed move on from Rudy Gobert, but he may get offers beyond exception money, since there aren't a ton of marquee free agents in this class.

DeAndre Ayton, 5.7 WAR - 4/$133M offer sheet matched by Phoenix

• Big, restricted, $12.6M last year
• Jazz fit? Unlikely: the only way this happens is if the Suns are interested in Gobert, and the Jazz don't mind trading him to a conference rival.

Isaiah Hartenstein, 5.4 WAR - 2/$16M agreement w/ NYK

• Big, unrestricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? Hartenstein consistently floats under the radar, despite being a really solid rim protector and roll finisher; he'd be great backing Gobert up, but probably is too good for that role.

Mitchell Robinson, 5.4 WAR - 4/$60M deal to stay in NYK

• Big, unrestricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? He's one of the best lob finishers in the NBA and he's above-average at rim defense; but he's used to starter minutes (27mpg) so Utah may need to sort out its direction first.

Jalen Brunson, 5.1 WAR - committed to NYK, 4/$104M

• Guard, unrestricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? Brunson is due for a much bigger raise than what the Jazz can compete with -- and they know why, after getting toasted by the tough guard in the playoffs.

Gary Payton II, 4.9 WAR - 3/$28M deal with Portland (PO 3rd)

• Wing, unrestricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? ESPN's Bobby Marks floated GP2 as a tax MLE option for the Jazz, but would he really want to leave Golden State right after winning a ring?

Otto Porter Jr., 4.9 WAR - 2-yr deal (with PO 2nd) with Toronto

• Wing, unrestricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? The Jazz had Otto on their list last summer when they were looking for bigger bodies, but he chose to play for GSW at the minimum instead.

Delon Wright, 4.3 WAR - 2/$16M deal with Washington

• Guard, unrestricted, $8.5M last year
• Jazz fit? Wright would be perfect in a lot of ways if the Jazz wind up moving Mike Conley and needing another guard: he can shoot, defend, and facilitate.

Nicolas Batum, 4.3 WAR - 2/$22M to stay in LAC

• Wing, declined $3.3M PO
• Jazz fit? The Jazz have considered Batum before in their search for big wings who can shoot and defend. He's lost half a step, but still adds value.

Tyus Jones, 3.8 WAR - 2/$30M deal to stay in Memphis

• Guard, unrestricted, $8.4M last year
• Jazz fit? Again, the Jazz may be looking for a solid backup point guard who has been in competitive situations, although Jones is a little on the smaller side.

Kyrie Irving, 3.8 WAR - opted into $36.9M

Pat Connaughton, 3.8 WAR - Opted into $5.7M

Kevon Looney, 3.5 WAR - 3/$25.5M deal to stay in GSW

• Big, unrestricted, $5.2M last year
• Jazz fit? Hard to imagine the career Warrior leaving just after the championship parade, but if he did, he's a pretty savvy team defender.

P.J. Tucker, 3.5 WAR - 3/$33M agreement with Philadelphia

• Wing, opted out of $7.35M
• Jazz fit? The 37-year-old might have cost himself money by opting out, but Heat prez Pat Riley has said they'll look to keep him.

Bruce Brown, 3.2 WAR - 2/$13M deal with Denver

• Wing, unrestricted, $4.7M last year
• Jazz fit? Other than his size (6'4"), there's not much I dislike about Brown. He's a plus defender whose main liability was shooting, but he just finished a 40% outside shooting season.

Andre Drummond, 3.2 WAR - agreed to 2/$6.6M deal with Chicago (PO 2nd)

• Big, unrestricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? Kind of wild that the well-traveled veteran (5 teams now) is only 28. He's not great defensively, but still churns out double-doubles.

Kyle Anderson, 3.2 WAR - 2/$18M deal with Minnesota

• Wing, unrestricted, $9.9M last year
• Jazz fit? "Slo Mo" is smart and does everything passably well, but the lack of shooting (33.4%) would be a bit problematic.

Mo Bamba, 3.2 WAR - 2/$21M deal to stay in Orlando

• Big, unrestricted, $7.6M last year
• Jazz fit? Bamba had a mini-breakout year in his fourth season, but Orlando won’t issue a qualifying offer, so he’s theoretically gettable after a 38% shooting season from deep.

Hassan Whiteside, 3.2 WAR

• Big, unrestricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? It sure sounded as though Whiteside was expecting to move on after a single season in Utah.

Caleb Martin, 3.0 WAR - 3/$20M deal to return to Miami

• Wing, restricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? Already a solid defender, Martin suddenly caught fire from three, hitting 41% this past season. But alas, he's restricted so I doubt he gets loose.

Mike Muscala, 3.0 WAR - 1-year deal to remain in OKC

• Big, unrestricted, $3.5M TO declined
• Jazz fit? “Musky” has always been a low-minute backup, but he is a stretch center who could help the Jazz rethink their big man depth after OKC declined his option.

Bobby Portis, 3.0 WAR - 4/$49M deal to stay in Milwaukee

• Big, unrestricted, declined $4.6M PO
• Jazz fit? Portis just posted career bests in points (14.6), rebounds (9.1) and minutes (28.2), but is expected to re-sign in Milwaukee.

Nemanja Bjelica, 2.7 WAR - reportedly signing with a Turkish team

• Big, unrestricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? Bjelly didn't play a huge role for the champs, but gave them heady play (and even decent defense) in certain playoff situations.

Bradley Beal, 2.7 WAR - Stayed in Washington, 5/$251M

• Wing, declined $36.4M PO
• Jazz fit? Hard to imagine the Jazz having the asset juice to get Beal via trade, and they certainly can't afford him in free agency.

Jusuf Nurkic, 2.4 WAR - 4/$70M deal to remain in Portland

• Big, unrestricted, $12M last year
• Jazz fit? Nurk has missed 127 games in the past three seasons, so even if they found themselves needing a new center, I'm not sure the Bosnian is the answer.

Thaddeus Young, 2.4 WAR - 2/$18M with Toronto

• Big, unrestricted, $14.2M last year
• Jazz fit? After a 16mpg season, Thad should be available for exception money, and would be a pretty interesting get if you think last year's stat dip was an anomaly.

Chris Boucher, 2.4 WAR - 3/$35M deal to stay in Toronto

• Big, unrestricted, $7M last year
• Jazz fit? The skinny big man backslid last season after a mini-breakout year in 2020-21, though advanced stats still like him as a role player.

Danilo Gallinari, 2.2 WAR - 2/$13.3M deal with Boston after buyout

• Big, unrestricted, cut from $21M partially guaranteed deal
• Jazz fit? The Rooster still adds value as a shooter, and now hits the open market after the Spurs bought him out following the Dejounte Murray trade.

Malik Monk, 2.2 WAR - 2/$19M agreement w/ Sacramento

• Wing, unrestricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? One of few bright spots for the Lakers, Monk logged career highs across the board this season. But at 6'3", he might not be the top target at SG for a team hoping to get longer on the wings.

JaVale McGee, 2.2 WAR - 3/$20M deal with Dallas

• Big, unrestricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? The journeyman big had a nice little resurgence catching Chris Paul lobs and guarding the rim really well; he's mercurial, but could be an interesting low-minute backup.

LaMarcus Aldridge, 1.9 WAR

• Big, unrestricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? At 37 by season's start, hard to imagine LMA lining up with exactly what the Jazz need, no matter which route they go competitively.

Cody Martin, 1.9 WAR - 4/$32M deal to stay in Charlotte

• Wing, restricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? Like his brother Caleb, Cody just had a breakout year from three and is likely going to get a hefty raise from Charlotte, which holds matching rights for the 6-foot-5 wing.

Andre Iguodala, 1.9 WAR

• Wing, unrestricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? The chatter suggests Iggy might be set to retire now after helping GSW hang a fourth banner.

Amir Coffey, 1.9 WAR - 3/$11M deal to stay with LAC

• Wing, restricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? Coffey is big for a shooting guard (6'7") and a career 38% shooter, but you'd have to believe there was more growth coming defensively, and LAC can match offers anyway.

Carmelo Anthony, 1.9 WAR

• Wing, unrestricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? His defense remains problematic, but it's probably moot anyway, as Melo is highly unlikely to spend his career twilight in Utah.

Nic Claxton, 1.6 WAR - 2/$20M deal to return to Brooklyn

• Big, restricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? He's an interesting big, capable both of paint protection and switching, but he's pretty raw offensively.

Damian Jones, 1.6 WAR - 2-year deal with LAL

• Big, unrestricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? He's decent enough as a rim protector and P&R finisher that I wouldn't be shocked if he was on their list as a backup option at the minimum.

Kemba Walker, 1.6 WAR

• Guard, unrestricted, bought out from $9.2M deal
• Jazz fit? The 4-time All-Star joins free agency after securing a buyout, but on the surface he might be too small (6’0”) and old (32) to match the Jazz’s needs.

Isaiah Roby, 1.6 WAR - Claimed off waivers by San Antonio

• Wing, unrestricted, waived off $1.9M non-guaranteed
• Jazz fit? Roby’s 6-foot-8, shot 44% from deep last year (after shooting 29% the year before) and was a plus-value player by just about every advanced metric. Someone will take a flier.

Ricky Rubio, 1.4 WAR - 3/$18.4M deal to remain in Cleveland

• Guard, unrestricted, $17.8M last year
• Jazz fit? Ah, the beloved Spanish Samurai. Based on the timing of his injury, it's unlikely he could help the Jazz right away, and I don't think they're shopping for starting-caliber PGs anyway.

Anfernee Simons, 1.4 WAR - 4/$100M deal to stay in Portland

• Guard, restricted, $3.9M last year
• Jazz fit? Simons bet on himself and then exploded with a 17ppg season, so the Blazers almost have to shell out to retain him now.

Joe Ingles, 1.4 WAR - 1-year $6.5M deal with Milwaukee

• Wing, unrestricted, $13M last year
• Jazz fit? Ingles likely won't be ready to go again until sometime early in 2023, but if the way things went down in February didn't sour him too much on the idea of continuing his career in Utah, I bet they'll give him a call.

Gorgui Dieng, 1.1 WAR - 1-year deal w/ SAS

• Big, unrestricted, $4M last year
• Jazz fit? Dieng is only 32, but his minutes have been dropping sharply: he didn't break the 400-minute mark last season.

Facundo Campazzo, 1.1 WAR

• Guard, unrestricted, $3.2M last year
• Jazz fit? He was on the edge of the rotation by season's end, and stats like EPM and RAPTOR say he had a negative overall impact; he may head back to Europe, where he was a legitimate star.

Dwight Howard, 1.1 WAR

• Big, unrestricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? Dwight's still hanging around and contributing, but modern centers generally have to be a little better than present-day Howard at either protecting the rim or helping space the court.

Eric Bledsoe, 1.1 WAR

• Guard, unrestricted, waived from $19M partially guaranteed contract
• Jazz fit? The veteran guard will hit the market when Portland waives him to avoid his salary guaranteeing in full – but it’s hard to imagine the 32-year-old fitting with the Jazz’s plans..

Blake Griffin, 0.8 WAR

• Big, unrestricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? A career-worst season for Griffin in many respects have folks wondering how much is left there.

Juan Toscano-Anderson, 0.8 WAR - 1-year deal with LAL

• Wing, unrestricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? A bit off-and-on as both a shooter and a defender, but JTA is a 6-foot-6 guard who just became unrestricted.

Jalen Smith, 0.8 WAR - 2-yr deal to remain with Indiana

• Big, unrestricted, $4.5M last year
• Jazz fit? Smith is a former top-10 pick who didn't put it together in Phoenix, so they declined his option year and then traded him -- only to watch him have a breakout half-season in Indy. Could be worth a flier.

Dewayne Dedmon, 0.8 WAR - 2/$9M deal to stay in Miami

• Big, unrestricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? He's been in and out of the rotation during a 2-year stint in Miami, and probably isn't the answer at this point, at least not in a major role.

Taurean Prince, 0.8 WAR - agreed to a 2/$16M extension before free agency began

• Wing, unrestricted, $13.3M last year
• Jazz fit?  Playing for three teams in the last two seasons has affected his rhythm some, but he's a big body and probably won't cost a ton.

Jeremy Lamb, 0.8 WAR

• Wing, unrestricted, $10.5M last year
• Jazz fit? He's not particularly great as a defender or a shooter, and all-in metrics tend to be pretty bearish.

Eric Paschall, 0.8 WAR - 1-year deal with Minnesota

• Big, unrestricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? Tony Jones reports that they won’t issue a QO, which means the physical forward will be unrestricted. He had a nice year from 3 (37%), and had some nice defensive moments.

Patty Mills, 0.5 WAR - 2/$14.5M deal to stay in Brooklyn

• Guard, unrestricted, declined $6.2M PO
• Jazz fit? He'd be a fun option as Utah's backup playmaker, but he doesn’t get the Jazz any bigger (6'1") or younger (34 in August) than Conley does.

Derrick Jones Jr., 0.5 WAR - 2/$6.6M deal to return to Chicago

• Wing, unrestricted, $9.7M last year
• Jazz fit? Jazz fans have long fancied DJJ a 3-and-D answer, but he actually hasn't been great at either component -- especially outside shooting, where he's sub-30% for his career.

Russell Westbrook, 0.5 WAR - opted in at $47M

Devontae Cacok, 0.5 WAR

• Big, restricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? With 228 total career minutes to date, this likely isn't an answer to any meaningful question.

Trent Forrest, 0.5 WAR - 2-way contract w/ Atlanta

• Guard, unrestricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? Jazz fans saw some of what makes Forrest a legitimate prospect -- but also the limitations. He did not receive a QO.

Danuel House Jr., 0.5 WAR - 2/$8.5M deal with Philadelphia

• Wing, unrestricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? If House will come back for the minimum, that seems like a no-brainer. They actually can sign him for 20% over the minimum, but then they don't get a league subsidy on part of the money.

Sam Hauser, 0.5 WAR - 3/$6M deal to stay in Boston

• Wing, unrestricted, Declined $1.6M TO
• Jazz fit? Hauser is kind of interesting: a sweet-shooting, 6-foot-8 wing. Boston declined the option.

Juancho Hernangomez, 0.5 WAR - 1-year deal w/ Toronto

• Wing, unrestricted, waived off $7.4M non-guaranteed
• Jazz fit? Hernangomez was cut on Thursday for salary reasons, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the Jazz throw a minimum salary offer his way – he’s 6’9” w/ a motor, and his energy helped the Jazz.

Troy Brown Jr., 0.3 WAR - 1-year minimum deal with LAL

• Wing, unrestricted, $5.2M last year
• Jazz fit? The idea of Brown is pretty fun, but in practice, he hasn't been good enough defensively to justify giving minutes to just-OK shooter (<34% career from deep).

Rajon Rondo, 0.3 WAR

• Guard, unrestricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? Unless there's an emergency need for ball-handling at some point, I just can't imagine the Jazz calling up the 36-year-old Rondo.

DeMarcus Cousins, 0.3 WAR

• Big, unrestricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? My guess is that the Jazz are one of those teams that had a "no Boogie" rule, although that was a pretty different set of decision-makers and he has ostensibly matured some since then, too.

Rodney McGruder, 0.3 WAR - deal to return to Det

• Wing, unrestricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? He's a hustler whose shot comes and goes, but at his position and skill set, 6'4" is a little small.

Brundo Fernando, 0.3 WAR - returned to Houston

• Big, unrestricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? He was a bit of a wrecking ball in Houston, exploding for 27 points per 36 minutes in the 10 games he played as a Rocket. But those were mostly garbage time appearances, and he's still quite raw.

Wayne Ellington, 0.3 WAR

• Wing, unrestricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? The 13-year vet is a shooting specialist but doesn't really help Utah address a lack of size on the wings.

Victor Oladipo, 0.3 WAR - 1/$11M deal to stay in Miami

• Wing, unrestricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? He remains a spotty shooter (42% this past regular season from outside -- then 27% in the playoffs), but his defense made a real difference during Miami's playoff run. I wonder what it would take to get the former No. 2 overall pick to consider Utah.

Serge Ibaka, 0.3 WAR - 1-year deal to return to Milwaukee

• Big, unrestricted, $9.7M last year
• Jazz fit? His raw production has fallen off a bit of a cliff in the past two seasons, which is worrisome since a lot of his value is in his springy athleticism that may be starting to fade.

Greg Monroe, 0.3 WAR

• Big, unrestricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? "Moose" played for four teams this season alone! He even helped Utah weather Whiteside's brief absence.

DeAndre Jordan, 0.3 WAR - agreed w/ Denver

• Big, unrestricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? He still rebounds and blocks well on a per-minute basis, but this is a shadow of the DAJ who made three All-NBA teams.

Aaron Holiday, 0.3 WAR - 1-yr deal with Atlanta

• Guard, unrestricted, $4.0M last year
• Jazz fit? Holiday really got it going from outside (44%) in 22 games as a Sun, but Phoenix passed on issuing him the $5.8M QO, so he’s unrestricted.

Bismack Biyombo, 0.3 WAR - returning to Phoenix

• Big, unrestricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? Biyombo turned some heads with some nice stretches in Phoenix when they had a need to spread some minutes around, but overall wasn't that different from the Charlotte version.

Thomas Bryant, 0.3 WAR - 1-year deal with LAL

• Big, unrestricted, $8.7M last year
• Jazz fit? Pre-injury Bryant was starting to look like a pretty interesting player, with a combination of offensive skill and paint protection. But he's played just 83 games in the past three seasons combined.

Jae’Sean Tate, 0.3 WAR - 3/$22M deal to stay in Houston

• Wing, restricted, $1.8 TO declined
• Jazz fit? The physical wing was unexpectedly made a free agent when Houston declined his team option, but don’t get too excited: they declined it because they have matching rights this summer, but wouldn’t next year.

Skylar Mays, 0.0 WAR

• Wing, restricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? Mays is a small off-guard who signed a rest-of-season contract with four days left in the year.

Luke Kornet, 0.0 WAR - 2-yr deal to remain in Boston

• Big, unrestricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? The 7-foot-2 big man played just 103 minutes last season (for three different teams), and 348 the year before that.

Tony Bradley, 0.0 WAR - opted in at $2M

Ed Davis, 0.0 WAR

• Big, unrestricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? Speaking of underwhelming Jazz centers from recent memory... no, they won't try to sign Davis.

Vlatko Cancar, 0.0 WAR - 3-year deal (with team option) to stay in Denver

• Wing, restricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? The Slovenian is another guy who has barely seen the floor so far in the NBA.

Cory Joseph, 0.0 WAR - opted in $5.2M

Damion Lee, 0.0 WAR - 1-yr deal with Phoenix

• Wing, unrestricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? Lee carved out a nice rotation role with GSW, but barely saw the floor in the playoffs.

Dennis Schroder, 0.0 WAR

• Guard, unrestricted, $5.9M last year
• Jazz fit? The German guard averaged 29 minutes this season, so he probably doesn't make sense on a team that wants 6'1" Mitchell running with mostly bigger guards.

Markieff Morris, 0.0 WAR

• Wing, unrestricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? Morris only took his warmups off 17 times this season, and the year before that averaged just 6.7 points in L.A. on 41-31-72 shooting.

Bol Bol, 0.0 WAR

• Big, unrestricted, $2.2M last year
• Jazz fit? The 7-foot-2 Sudanese center got hurt in January and was subsequently traded twice, and Orlando decided not to issue a $2.7M QO.

Ish Wainright, 0.0 WAR - 2-way deal with Phoenix

• Wing, restricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? The smallball big played well enough for Phoenix that they waived Frank Kaminsky to make room for him on their playoff roster.

Yuta Watanabe, 0.0 WAR

• Big, unrestricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? One of three active players born in Japan, Watanabe finally got a steady role in Toronto these past two seasons and has rewarded the Raps with 37% shooting from the perimeter.

Isaac Bonga, 0.0 WAR

• Wing, unrestricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? Bonga's true shooting last season: .363. If he had shot enough to qualify for leaderboards, that would be the worst in the NBA by far.

Anthony Gill, 0.0 WAR - 2-year deal to stay with Washington

• Big, restricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? He’s a big with some stretch ability, but he has barely played.

Taj Gibson, 0.0 WAR - 1-year deal with Washington after clearing waivers

• Big, unrestricted, waived off $5.1M non-guaranteed contract
• Jazz fit? The 13-year veteran was released before his salary became guaranteed; the Jazz could use more size, but Gibson is 37 and isn’t a real outside thread.

Nik Stauskas, 0.0 WAR

• Wing, unrestricted, waived off partially guaranteed minimum
• Jazz fit? Stauskas was waived by Indiana for cap reasons.

Juwan Morgan, 0.0 WAR

• Wing/big, unrestricted, waived off partially guaranteed minimum
• Jazz fit? Morgan was waived by Indiana for cap reasons.

Malik Fitts, 0.0 WAR

• Wing, unrestricted, waived off partially guaranteed minimum
• Jazz fit? Fitts was waived by Indiana for cap reasons.

JaMychal Green, 0.0 WAR - bought out by OKC, immediately agreed w/ GSW

Kevin Knox, -0.3 WAR - 2/$6M deal with Detroit

• Wing, unrestricted, $5.8M last year
• Jazz fit? He's 6-foot-7, a former lottery pick, and a 37% career outside shooter. But he also had one of the worst EPMs in the entire NBA last season (-5.3).

Matt Thomas, -0.3 WAR

• Wing, unrestricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? Thomas didn’t get a qualifying offer, but the Jazz called it quits on the sharpshooter after giving him a shot at rotation minutes.

Moses Brown, -0.3 WAR - signed camp deal w/ LAC

• Big, restricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? I like the sound of 7'2" and 245, but four teams have given Brown a look (not counting the Celtics, who had him under contract for a month and a half last summer).

Marvin Bagley III, -0.3 WAR - 3/$37M deal to stay in Detroit

• Big, restricted, $11.3M last year
• Jazz fit? Bagley had a nice 18-game stretch after landing in Detroit via trade, although he's still a bit problematic as a big who neither spaces the floor nor protects the rim.

Udonis Haslem, -0.3 WAR

• Big, unrestricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? South Beach will freeze over before UD plays for a team other than the Heat.

Jevon Carter, -0.3 WAR - 2-year deal with Milwaukee

• Guard, unrestricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? Carter is tough, energetic, and has mostly shot the ball really well as a pro, but he's small, so the Jazz would have to really like him as a Mitchell backup.

Josh Okogie, -0.3 WAR - 1-year deal with Phoenix

• Wing, unrestricted, $4.3M last year
• Jazz fit? "Non-stop" fell from the rotation and didn't get the $6.1M QO that would have made him restricted -- so the Jazz and other suitors would have to decide if they could fix that broken outside shot (27.5%).

Jake Layman, -0.3 WAR

• Wing, unrestricted, $3.9M last year
• Jazz fit? At 6'8", he's bigger than you think he is, but he's only had once season where he hung onto a rotation role all season, largely because he's been really inefficient.

Ryan Arcidiacano, -0.3 WAR

• Guard, unrestricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? He signed with New York late and shot lights out from deep, but mostly has been a fringe rotation guy in his career.

Paul Millsap, -0.3 WAR

• Big, unrestricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? As beloved as Millsap was during his Utah stint, he's 37 now with stats trending the wrong way.

Donte DiVincenzo, -0.3 WAR - 2/$9.3M deal with GSW

• Guard, unrestricted, $4.7M last year
• Jazz fit? Not that long ago, DiVincenzo was starting on an eventual title team (although he got hurt three games into the playoffs). Sacramento did not extend the $6.6M offer to keep RFA rights.

Joe Wieskamp, -0.3 WAR

• Wing, restricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? Just 205 minutes into his pro career, he needs to show a little more.

Luka Garza, -0.3 WAR

• Big, restricted, $1.5M TO declined
• Jazz fit? Detroit walked away from the second-year center who was drafted 52nd overall.

Carsen Edwards, -0.3 WAR - signed w/ Turkish team

• Big, restricted, $1.5M TO declined
• Jazz fit? Detroit signed the tiny guard with just a week left in the regular season, then opted not to keep him for year two.

Lu Dort, -0.3 WAR - 5/$88M deal to stay in OKC

• Wing, restricted, $1.9M TO declined
• Jazz fit? Initially it was reported that OKC would keep the option on Dort, but by opting out now, they have matching rights they wouldn’t have a year from now.

Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot, -0.5 WAR

• Wing, unrestricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? A former first-round pick who didn't make it all the way through his rookie deal, TLC has stuck in the league despite below-average efficiency.

Goran Dragic, -0.5 WAR - 1-year $2.9M deal w/ Chicago

• Guard, unrestricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? The Mavs reportedly want to pair Slovenian playmakers with Dragic and Luka Doncic in Dallas; Dragic has missed an average of 36 game in each of the past four seasons.

Isaiah Thomas, -0.5 WAR

• Guard, unrestricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? The tiny former All-Star probably isn't a fit for Utah, unless an emergency need arises at some point.

Collin Sexton, -0.5 WAR

• Guard, restricted, $6.3M last year
• Jazz fit? Cleveland probably wants to leverage matching rights to keep the small, score-first guard around -- or at least to preserve the right to get something back for the former top-10 pick in a deal.

Rodney Hood, -0.5 WAR

• Wing, unrestricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? Hood hasn't lasted with any team for as many as 90 games since leaving the Jazz, and last season bottomed out at 3.1 points per game in 13.6 minutes.

Thanasis Antetokounmpo, -0.5 WAR - exercised $1.9M PO

Jeff Green, -0.5 WAR - exercised $4.5M PO

Gary Harris, -0.5 WAR - 2/$26M to stay in Orlando

• Wing, unrestricted, $20.9M last year
• Jazz fit? At his best, Harris was a good perimeter defender with above-average shooting and some creation skills.

Elfrid Payton, -0.5 WAR

• Guard, unrestricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? A career sub-30% shooter from outside, Payton has stuck by being pesky and a good passer -- just not sure how he makes the Jazz better.

Lonnie Walker IV, -0.5 WAR - agreed to 1-year $6.5M with LAL

• Wing, unrestricted, $4.4M last year
• Jazz fit? Walker is an athlete, but an inefficient scorer and an average to below-average defender. The Spurs pulled the $6.6M QO,

Svi Mykhailiuk, -0.5 WAR - opted in $1.9M

Lou Williams, -0.8 WAR

• Wing, unrestricted, $5M last year
• Jazz fit? The Jazz already have a slight-of-build, score-first 2-guard with a bag of tricks in Jordan Clarkson.

Tristan Thompson, -0.8 WAR

• Big, unrestricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? Thompson played sparingly for three different teams this past season, but was useful off the bench for Boston a year earlier.

Bryn Forbes, -0.8 WAR - agreed to deal with Minnesota

• Wing, unrestricted, $4.5M last year
• Jazz fit? Forbes is just a straight shooter, but at 6'2" he does little else and given the Jazz's hopes of addressing size, I'm not sure I see the fit.

Trey Burke, -0.8 WAR - exercised $3.3M PO

Kent Bazemore, -0.8 WAR - 1-year deal with Sacramento

• Wing, unrestricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? Baze barely managed to get on the hardwood even for the struggling and injury-riddled Lakers, and he turns 33 this month.

Jarrett Culver, -0.8 WAR

• Wing, unrestricted, $6.4M last year
• Jazz fit? Culver has struggled with accuracy, partially why he both had his fourth-year option declined and then subsequently lost his rotation role.

Wesley Matthews, -0.8 WAR - 1-year deal to remain with Milwaukee

• Wing, unrestricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? He'll be 36 by the time basketball starts again, but still grades out as an impactful defender. That said, he doesn't help the Jazz get bigger, younger, or more athletic.

Robin Lopez, -0.8 WAR - 1-yr deal with Cleveland

• Big, unrestricted, $5M last year
• Jazz fit? RoLo was reportedly in deep talks with the Jazz last year at the minimum, but reversed course when Orlando plopped a $5M contract in front of him, only to barely use him (612 total minutes).

D.J. Augustin, -1.1 WAR

• Guard, unrestricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? Augustin has become my go-to example of a generic guard to sign for playmaking depth: "You know, if Team X had D.J. to run 15 pick-and-rolls a night when so-and-so got injured." But if a Mike trade is made, the Jazz will need more than that.

Ben McLemore, -1.1 WAR

• Wing, unrestricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? He's really small for a wing (6'3"), although he had a nice little resurgence as one of the only grown-ups in the room in Portland.

Tomas Satoransky, -1.1 WAR - Agreed to a 4-year deal in Europe

• Wing, unrestricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? If the Jazz had wanted Sato, they could have had him in the Portland deal; instead, they routed Sato on to San Antonio and got the cheaper Juancho Hernangomez instead.

Raul Neto, -1.1 WAR - agreed to terms w/ Cleveland

• Guard, unrestricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? As much as Jazz fans would love to bring Wolfie back, he's another small guard who only makes sense if you can envision him as the guy who fills in as lead guard anytime Mitchell tweaks an ankle.

Frank Jackson, -1.1 WAR

• Guard, unrestricted, $3.15 TO declined
• Jazz fit? The former Utah prep standout hit the market when Detroit declined his option, but his inconsistent shot makes him a problematic shot.

Armoni Brooks, -1.1 WAR

• Wing, unrestricted, waived off minimum
• Jazz fit? Brooks was cut before his guaranteed amount rose from $50K to $250K, joining the free agent ranks..

Kessler Edwards, -1.4 WAR - returning to Brooklyn

• Wing, unrestricted, TO declined at the minimum
• Jazz fit? The Nets like Edwards enough to convert him on April 10 so he'd be available in the playoffs... but then they declined his team option for next season and pulled the QO.

Tony Snell, -1.4 WAR

• Wing, unrestricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? Snell is 6'6" and has mostly been a lights-out shooter, but that's more or less all he does.

Elijah Hughes, -1.4 WAR

• Wing, restricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? I get the sense that the Jazz did like Hughes, but prying him away from a team with matching rights would require a price that's probably not worth it.

Josh Jackson, -1.4 WAR

• Wing, unrestricted, $5M last year
• Jazz fit? The former lotto pick averaged a career-low 6.4 points last season and might be getting close to the end of the line: he posted a -4.5 EPM last season.

Avery Bradley, -1.6 WAR

• Wing, unrestricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? Once a pretty solid defender, the main allure to Bradley now is his ability as a corner spacer, but I think the Jazz can find that in a package that's not a 6'3" shooting guard.

Jordan Nwora, -1.6 WAR

• Wing, restricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? At 6'8", Nwora makes you want to like him, but so far he has been a negative-value player (despite good 3-point shooting last year as a rookie).

Austin Rivers, -1.9 WAR - 1-year deal w/ Minnesota

• Guard, unrestricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? The journeyman guard has toasted Utah on occasion, but we're getting pretty far down the barrell here on the WAR ranking (and other advanced stats generally concur).

Duane Washington Jr., -1.9 WAR - 2-way w/ Phoenix

• Guard, unrestricted, waived from non-guaranteed minimum contract
• Jazz fit? The rotation guard was waived by Indiana to make the Ayton offer sheet possible, but with low efficiency and net-negative defense, he’s not exactly a prime target.

C.J. Elleby, -2.7 WAR - Training camp deal w/ Minnesota

• Guard, restricted, minimum last year
• Jazz fit? The lowest WAR of any available free agent belongs to Elleby, a non-shooting guard who helped Portland, uh, achieve its desired results this season.

T.J. Warren, (Did not play) - 1-year deal w/ Brooklyn

• Wing, $12.9M last year
• Jazz fit? Warren is a mid-efficiency gunner (and the Jazz already have a couple of those), but at least he's 6'8".

John Wall, (Did not play) - 2/$13M deal with LAC

• Guard, opted into $47.4M, then secured buyout
• Jazz fit? Wall has played 41 total games since Christmas 2018, so it's hard to know if he could help the already guard-heavy Jazz; but it's probably moot, since he's expected to sign with the Clippers.

Kendrick Nunn (Did not play) - exercised $5.25M PO
