You're the GM this offseason. What do you do?

Yes, that’s precisely why the room MLE exists (there’s room under the cap).

However, that exception cannot be combined with capspace for a larger salary. They are partitioned. Which is why the room exception should be called the Alex Caruso exception.

So we could end up with 3 solid rotation players if we split the $17 million from Favors on a couple of guys and then use the room MLE. I think that's the way we should go, especially since we still need to add more shooting and depth to the roster.

It's not a question of having room. Is that since the Jazz are planning to add Conley into existing cap space (as opposed to doing a trade where the Jazz are over the cap, where salaries have to match to a large extent), they do not get the TPE at all. They will be operating as an under-the-cap team, and under-the-cap teams do not get TPEs.

wait, are currently over or under the cap? i can't keep all this straight

We are and will operate under the cap... end of story.

This is a fun game, I think I keep Favors and try and sign Avery Bradley and Wilson Chandler for vet min. Then use the Room exception on JaMychal Green.

But I also think those prices are off on a bunch of players but wow would that be great to get those three and keep who we have.

Conley Exum Neto
Mitchell Bradley
Ingles Royce Chandler
Favors JaMychal
Gobert Favors Bradley

Fill in our our 2nds and whoever else makes the team.

This is a good example though that lots of good players will go for much less. Teams will tie their cap up quickly with the big names. Lots of good players for cheap on here.

Also I know Middleton will get the max but that is a bad contract. 4 years 190 million is way too much for a borderline all-star.

I think replacing Fav with Mirotic AND Ed Davis would be a slight upgrade. I think 18 million is a major overpay for Mirotic though.

He’s probably going back to Europe. As he should. I would love to keep him, though.

The jazz could go over the cap to retain him though too. Right?

Having three guys who can all create for themselves, knock down threes AND function well in the pick and roll would be a great outcome for the Jazz. If they can swing getting Tobias Harris, they should do Everything in their power to pull it off. Adjust the Memphis deal to create space, or work out a sign and trade with Philly.

Short of that, keep Favors and Exum until the deadline, then try to get in on a big deal for a disgruntled star looking to get out. Even if it’s just a rental. . . it would be a worthwhile risk.

If he came here I want him to grow the beard back... he has a face that is made for a beard.

Um

In order for the Conley trade to work as constituted, they would have to renounce all rights to Udoh. I also get the sense that he feels a little burned by how the last two years played out for him here. He was an incredible luxury to have as a 3rd string center.

Adjusting the Memphis deal by sending out Exum and a fully gairanteed korver and signing Harris before the trade is the way to go!

It would be awesome to sign Wes Mathews at the room exception but the list of players and expected salaries shows he is going for more than I thought he would. 8 mil for Wes sound right?

I doubt Memphis would be too difficult to work with IF Harris has interest in the Jazz.

It’ll cost more, but would be worth the price if they can put together their (dare I say it?) Core 4 right now.

Conley, Mitchell, Jingles/O’Neale, Harris and Gobert would be and amazing start.
