The OKC game has convinced me that jazz need to throw money at jabari

But weren't we prepared to offer otto porter a max contract? Do we suddenly have less money than we did then?

I don’t recall the numbers, but basically if we renounce everyone (Udoh, Thabo, Favors, Exum, Neto, Royce, and Jerebko), we could have enough to make an offer, but that’s gutting the team. Exum has a higher cap hold.

If we renounce everyone Faves, Exum, Sef, Neto, etc. and pay someone to take Burks, we can afford Parker at about 29 mil per year or so. Understand that you have your core and everyone else would be rookie contracts and cheap vet minimum contracts.

On the other hand, the Jazz are considerably less screwed than most teams salary wise, so maybe Parker plus Exum becomes a possibility, depending on what each will sign for.

I think signing Parker to anything under 20 million per year gets matched, and Milwaukee trades the contract later that year.

That burks contract is killing us

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

I’m very bullish on Exum... not renouncing him to throw an offer at Parker that gets matched.

Get Niko for our unguaranteed guys and a couple seconds. Throw a really protected 2019 1st if u must.

Not really... we could stretch it if we really wanted to... the Exum cap hold is 15M... that’s the big deal.

 

[jiggamanjazz]

why is his cap hold so high?

If Niko continues to play well in the playoffs they might just forgo signing Cousins and keep Mirotic. I'm no longer confident he is that gettable for Utah via trade.

I think they’d still try and keep cousins but might use yet another pick to offload hill or other salary.

There is something to this though. He got hot and played well in the first game... can’t imagine them moving him if he continues to play well.

Seeing where our pick landed and thinking we likely could have sent AB out in the deal to get Niko it kind of stings. Still hope we can get him.

I really hope for our sake that the 21st pick and Burks is a lot better than Niko...

Or that we can get Niko for our unguaranteed guys and 2nd rounders... and the 21st pick turns into something good.
