Paul Reed signs 3 yr 24mil offer sheet with Jazz

Coach Ellis said:
Which would explain why there was no chatter about the Jazz being interested in Reed. DA waits until the opportune time to make the move, then he just makes it. No point in telegraphing it to the rest of the league.

I definitely like his style better than DL’s so far.

I thought we heard the jazz were interested in Reed a couple days ago.

Looks like free agency opened November 20, 2020. If I’m remembering, we had announced he had (agreed to be) signed within 24 hours or less of opening, so I’d imagine they start the clock on T minus 11/20/20 (or whichever day the moratorium ended) and then give that much time past this moratorium.

Makes sense.

Did a quick search for 2020 and "COVID" in the new CBA, but didn't find anything.
 
Coach Ellis said:
Yeah. I was going to counter something earlier, but then realized it was GVC and his CBA knowledge is much better than everyone else’s around here. . . so I just deleted it.

Ha!

Not anymore, really. I'm 2 CBAs behind at this point, and Larry Coon hasn't updated his CBA site for the new agreement, so I'm incredibly ignorant. I just recalled someone saying something about the 3-year anniversary recently, which seems to match what's in the new CBA. However, as infection has pointed out, those timelines don't make sense when counted from the delayed 2020 off-season.

Maybe not, but it doesn’t make much sense for either side to penalize players or teams for having Covid upend the normal offseason schedule back then. Would make sense that they’d factor that in somehow when starting the current offseason.

I agree, and strongly suspect infection is right. 2020 off-season signing and extension dates have probably been effectively amended backward. Was just saying a quick search of the CBA didn't return confirmation of this.
 
This is an aggressive offer by the Jazz. I would be shocked if Philly matches as they didn't even play Reed much and it would put them in the luxury.

Reed is a unique player - the dude is great in transition and rarely settles for jumpers as he simply dripples to the rim (not many bigs can do it like Reed) and is crafty enough to get easy buckets in the paint. The fact he can also defend makes him really unique for a guy who isn't a starter.

I like this signing and would now like to get someone decent at the 3 as I feel we're a bit light there when Lauri is not on the floor (Fontecchio sucks).
