Wouldn't he be a restricted FA? So "more than we can offer" is not the right term to use. The Jazz are, once again, in the lower tier of NBA teams in terms of salaries (26th). During Lindsey's tenure, Jazz have been near the bottom (26th-30th), five seasons, IINM. They should have an ample war chest built up to survive a year of possible overlapping salaries. Conley comes off the books in two years - if he exercises his option - and so will Ingles.
I don't see the Conley/Mitchell experiment working out. Jazz have a pint-sized backcourt. They're going to get abused defensively. And offensively, both need the ball in their hands to be successful. We could very well see a Mitchell/O'Neale/Bogdanovic/Gobert and PF-to-be-named-later starting 5 as soon as next year or the year after.
The Jazz are at the cap right now, how much do you think they could offer realistically? I dont think that the Jazz traded all of those assets to rent mike Conley for 1 year. The Jazz would have to shed contracts like Dante in order to even realistically offer him close to what other teams might.
How do we pay for Rudy, Donovan, Bogdonavich, conoly, and oneale? Like I talked about in my post above, I dont think it's in his best interest to get an extension considering the mediocre players in this offseason.
