If you do that and don't use the taxpayer MLE its a lot of salary and tax. Its also the 1.1M savings in the difference of the 1st and 2nd round salary. You are looking at 10M in savings and 35M in tax savings. Bill goes down to 20ish million from 60ish million.
I don't know. I wish I knew what the financial goals were. Per dollar I think the value you're getting out of Bojan is significantly higher that would justify that pay differential. At least in terms of how hard it is to replace that value. If we trade Favors, I'm not concerned about being able to replace the value, whereas losing Bojan could be a big adjustment that may leave us a lot thinner in depth without his 30+ MPG.
Conley's number matters in this quite a bit... early I was hearing TJ say 15-20M... I think it will be closer to 25M the way the market is headed.
It would be one of the more justifiable times that there literally weren't available deals to be done, and the reason we'd be in that predicament would be of our own making because we continued to pretend deals weren't there to be done for a few years now, and thus it was somewhat of a self-fulfilling prophecy... or at least a situation where someone is complaining about being in a situation that they're not in, but after continually complaining about it, they then find themselves in it.Seems like there will be lots of trades this year
If Jazz do nothing what will that mean?
If Lonzo Ball is looking open to Indiana, I would bail on Conley and get Ball. Maybe even a 3 way where we send Conley to Indiana, Brogdan to NOP, and Ball here.
The apron is the issue... I know... I know... cap magic... we got no magic cap beans... sorry.
Hell of a regular season team. Doesn't win a chip though, as constituted, and you'd know that going in.
You're talking to a guy who has already given as much emotional investment in this thing as he can. He's capped (no pun intended). I'm just gonna spit out stuff and we're gonna make it work. It's not my job to make it work. I'm just the idea man.
