FA Targets at the MLE/BA level

Sign-and-trade Rubio for enough salary to keep the MLE?

No sir... the options I laid out are it. We waive Ricky’s caphold to do the Conley deal.
 
They should have money in this supposed trust. And multiple teams with too many picks IIRC.

If we don’t and others do I don’t want to hear the usual excuses... no roster spots, teams weren’t trading the picks... yada yada. It’s time to end the BS and find some second round steals.
 
Targets I'm looking at with the $4.7:

DeWayne Dedmon
DeMarre Carroll
Ed Davis
Frank Kaminsky
Wes Matthews
JaMychal Green
Taj Gibson
Anthony Tolliver
Luol Deng
Noah Vonleh
Furkan Korkmaz
Jonathon Simmons
Jeff Green
Mike Scott
Wilson Chandler
Luwawu-Cabarrot
Vince Carter
Damyean Dotson

There are a handful of veteran minimum guys I would consider too:
Thabo Sefolosha
Jose Calderon
Alec Burks
Dragan Bender
Jerekbo
Marquese Chriss
 
Couldn't the Jazz renegotiate with Royce to push us over the cap and allow for the MLE? Would it be enough for him to want to extend?

No because we worked this trade with Memphis to have Conley picked up primarily using cap space that we will open up in July.

Conley during the draft would be $30 million so we would need to send about $24 million in salaries back to make it work. Crowder ($7.3), Korver ($3.44) and Grayson ($2.1) wouldn't be near enough. It's clear that we didn't want to send back Exum or even Bradley.
 
Room Exception should get used on a PF to replace Jae Crowder.

DeMarre Carroll, Ed Davis, JaMychal Green, Taj Gibson or Mike Scott would all be excellent pickups.

I think the Jazz can still use their trade exception to add a guy for up to $4 million after all the other transactions are worked out as well. I think they’ll make use of that to help fill out the bench.

Hopefully they can nab a couple of guys in the draft who can compete as well.
