What's new

Jazz Free Agency Summer of 2018

I will keep playing the hypothetical game that all of us, including you play everyday on this sports message board. Its suits all of us pretty well. That is a huge chunk of what we do on here..

And playing at an all-star level is different from making an AS team. We can all agree that there were western conf guards who played at AS levels but did not make the team. And vice versa (Mo William and last 2 years of Kobe). Your hypothetical was a good one, it stretches our thinking into what may be possible, even if it may be improbable. Happens on this board every day.
 
Great deal for them I’m puzzled why philly did it... I mean it’s okay but 13M in cap space in this environment seems to be worth more than some distant seconds. Wilson is fine but they have a couple combo forwards already.

The 2nd are mostly irrelevant. They like Chandler's game, had space to sign him, and want to win.
 
Is there any news on Bjelly?? Do we even have cap space for him?
Cap space? No. But we have the MLE. I’m going to assume we don’t use it, though, because while some may see him as an upgrade to Jerebko, he’d cost more (and put us over the tax unless we dump Udoh, too), there aren’t many minutes for him, Jerebko has chemistry and has been a good soldier who doesn’t complain and is always ready and brings energy when his name is called.

I could be wrong, though.
 
Can the MLE cause a team to have to pay luxury tax? For example if a team is a million from having to pay the tax, then sign someone to the MLE, will they have to pay the tax?

Yes. The tax level is based on total dollar salary. The MLE just allows you to sign someone when you have no cap space.
