Hood traded to Cleveland for Crowder; Johnson to Sacramento

An aspect that I think is huge is the Favors insurance thing. I know Crowder is measurably undersized, but he's long and a ****ing ox. He could be our answer at the 4, eventually.

This may make it more likely we try and bargain hunt with our MLE. We don't have functional space really at all. I think your starting lineup next year is Rubio, DM, Ingles, Crowder, Gobert... I think we try and sign a bench scorer like Will Barton, Wayne Ellington (a little old), Tyreke Evans with our MLE. We might also trade some of our unguaranteeds for bad salary to move up the draft board or get additional picks... or for a guy like Evan Fournier.

This is kind of why I was ok with taking on a Faried or Chandler. They'd be up when we actually will have space...

This trade is horrible: Why? Because there are not a lot of teams that can offer Rodney a max contract this summer and there's more free agents than money, so Utah could've low balled him into a 15-17 mil a year deal that's cost efficient for a 2nd/3rd option on offense. Crowder is in a slump and the value of Hood should equal the Nets first provided we take back a bad contract.
I obviously don't know if Rodney wanted out or if the team wanted to get rid of him for whatever reason. I'm just not psyched about the return.

Low ball him $15-17 million, i guess that is the new NBA, but there is no way I would pay him that amount. I doubt he gets that amount nevertheless I was a big fan of Rodney's but he is not reliable all the time and if his shot isn't going he doesn't really do anything else. I wish him well but there is no way I want to pay him that kind of money.

Add in Crowder and take away Hood's $2.3 million from 2017 and we are looking at about $80,000,000 on the books in 2018/2019 offseason. I don't see why we don't have max money if the cap is at $107 million. We can add a player up to $27 million per year the way I see it. So long as we don't resign Favors or Exum. Then again, we would need more cheap contributors like Royce O'Neal.

But I don't see how we don't have max money to throw at Jabari or Gordon.

I think he becomes our starter there... I know some have doubts but look at the western conference... which PF would abuse Crowder in the post or on the glass... Aldridge, Davis/Boogie, Taj Gibson

He hasn't been used there as much but he's also never had a center anywhere nearly as good as Rudy. Horford is good but rebounding was his issue. Rudy doesn't have that.

I think we move to a Favs starts and plays 4-5 minutes and then we go to Crowder at the 4 and stagger Rudy/Favs. Tell Crowder he is loved everyday and give him a hug so he doesn't hate coming off the bench.

With Hood, Thabo and Alec off the books we would be close though? Genuinely don’t know.

I mean look at the cap numbers: mid level is about 9millions if I'm correct. 15 is 67% over the midlevel, 17 is 89% over it. When Favors signed his flat 48/4 contract midlevel was around 5.5, so the percentage of the cap was actually higher than a 15 per year is nowadays.

If the Jazz keep Dante at 10 million, renounce all the non-guaranteed guys and favors/Neto, and sign their first round pick they will have 10 million in cap-space left. So no, they really cant. They can get low enough to sign some MLE guy, which might get you a really nice player this year.

Kind of feel for Rodney....he plays for the Cavs now. Every time he has a tummy ache it will be ESPN front page. And if he got nervous starting for the Jazz on opening night, what will happen in a conference championship game?
