Tobias Harris wants to come to utah

The state tax component isn’t huge... they have to file in like every state so only like half their income is Utah based.
Ok, I'm not familiar with US tax policy. But if I remember correctly, some states like Florida has no income tax right?. And I'm not sure if some states have income tiers: you pay more if you earn above certain threshold, etc.
 
And when we say it’s just money and he doesn’t need all that extra that is cool but these guys have lots of family and friends they end up responsible for... not sure of his individual situation but normal dudes don’t have that much responsibility.

My guess is he secures the big bag from Philly... then they trade him later in something that is mutually beneficial... maybe then he can join us.
 
Maybe we are looking at the numbers wrong. If we are trying to get Memphis to take a little more (added pick or not), maybe we add Tobias THEN make the trade.

Waive Favors, Neto, Niang, Rubio, Thabo and Udoh. Sign Tobias to the max...

Tobias - $32.7
Gobert - $25
Ingles - $12
Exum - $9.6
Crowder - $7.8
Mitchell - $3.6
Korver - $3.44
Grayson - $2.43
Bradley - $1.96
O'Neale - $1.6
Cap hold - $900k (let's just assume worst)
Cap hold - $900k
TOTAL: $101.5

THEN trade Exum, Crowder, Korver, Grayson and Bradley (around $25.2)
for
Conley ($32.5)

We would be around $7 million under the cap so it should work financially. I'm not a cap expert, but couldn't we absorb some of Conley's contract since we have $7+ in space?

You make it sound like 30 vs 32 million a year is a deal breaker. That's like working at a job you hate for 32k instead of a job you love for 30 k. When you're making millions you wont notice the difference in life quality for that.
Where would you rather live. Crap hole Philly or Park City? It's not that hard to imagine. People chose happiness over money every minute of every day.

The Jazz don’t play in Park City. And he wouldn’t have to live in Philly.
 
The Memphis deal is done. Don’t mess with it and risk losing the bird we already have in our hand. If we move Exum we will probably lose a first. So be it if that means we land Tobias Harris.

Sell Tobias on continuity for him, a strong team around him that’s mostly in his age range so they could have a 6-7 year run. Plus we can always offer a 1-2 year deal for as much as we can now and then turn around and max him to keep our own players. I’d like to keep Neto for PG depth. But that’s hardly anything you hold the deal over.

Oh, the trade isn't going anywhere.

However, some rumors out there said Memphis wanted Exum. Since the trade isn't final until July 6, I'm sure we could renegotiate the terms of the deal to include Exum should Memphis want him and we need to clear his salary.

The way to do it would be to re-Oder the transactions... but I don’t know if adding Exum meets the 125% rule... that is the most feasible way to do it but Memphis prolly says no.

I don't understand your first point if you believe your second point

The jazz play in SLC but he doesn't have to live in SLC. He could live in park City right?
