What's new

"The Jazz are bound to shoot [Milos] Teodosic an offer sheet."

Seriously, don't you think another team could have offered a better package than that for Lillard?

Than the corpse of Favors, an $11m fine, a player to be instantly cut, a player who's currently near worthless, and the 28th pick? You crazy.

Yeah, it's going to be almost impossible for the Jazz to have the best offer on the table. But, time will tell - hopefully after this off-season there will be a nickname transfer and Dennis Lindsey's nickname will be Houdini.
 
A signing bonus is paid up front (as the name indicates) and for salary cap purposes, is averaged out over the length of the contract.

We would pay him for last year... it would operate like a salary bonus but hot last year's cap not this year's.
 
Locke brought up one scenario... we have excess cap space we could use on an international player that would serve as a signing bonus. We could sign him to a 2 year 11m deal and give him a 7M bonus for last year that doesn't affect our situation next year. So if a scenario like that comes up then sure let's try it out... much less risky than 3/24-30. And much more tradeable/stretchable if it fails in some form or fashion. Could also do like 9 M bonus... 8 M next year and a mutual opt out for the following year to protect everyone. One year 17 M guaranteed? Tough to pass up and Europe would be waiting for him if he flamed out.

That's interesting.

What the hell is a mutual opt out though? Doesnt every contract have a mutual opt out? If both parties are like yeah lets stop doing then they can stop doing it: See Derek Fisher.

I think rondo has one. It's a team option and a player option... so if he goes bananas then wants a raise he can opt out... if he sucks we can too.
 
In case nobody's seen him play .... (like me)



Bonus point for anyone spotting a former jazzman watching in the stands.

Well atleast we know he can kick NBA 3rd stringers asses. Shane Larkin was absolutely NO MATCH for Milos. That passing is on some elite **** too. Bring him on.
