Paul Reed signs 3 yr 24mil offer sheet with Jazz

[TheStormofWar]

So is this a guaranteed Philly not going to match or is it up in the air?

Up in the air I think. Harden has them in a weird spot, but there is no depth behind Embiid if Reed isn't matched and we all know how durable Troel is.

Hello Markannen minutes at the 2. Lol.

I don't know if you guys have talked about this yet, but would that clause of if your team makes it to the conference finals and the contract is guaranteed for 2024 and 2025, Would that apply to whichever team has him at the end of the year? Could that be a sticking point of keeping high end teams from acquiring him this year too? If the Jazz get him? Teams like the Lakers, Nuggets, Heat, 76ers, Celtics, etc., would that apply to them too at the end of the year if we traded him to them?

The contract follows the player so it would apply to the other teams as well.

I honestly don't care what ends up happening here. I've always liked Reed and would like to have him on the Jazz. On the other hand, If the Sixers match, then hopefully that opens up minutes for Hendricks to be in the rotation.

Unless they see him as a 3 and the a soon to be first option off the bench for Lauri. Then we are 2 deep at the 4 (JC and Reed), 2 deep at the 5 (Kessler and KO), and 2 deep at the 3 (Lauri and Hendricks). It's not that confusing if you look at it as Centers and PGs plus Wings as 2s, 3s, and 4s. Then we have 2 actual centers in Kessler and KO with Reed/Collins able to play backup in a bind. We have LOTS of wings. And we have Sexton, THT, and George at the 1.

And Dunn.

It’s interesting that you’ve laid it out like that. Essentially, that’s exactly how I build my team every year.

A couple of point guards, a couple of centers and the rest are interchangeable wings/forwards. Not saying that’s necessarily the best plan for an NBA team, but it is interesting.

 

[Engorged On Unborn Gore]

What’s my hurry for adding a perfect piece? They’re rare and hard to acquire.

Reaves would have been impossible to acquire.

So then the question becomes; Do we go after a player we can actually get? Or do we poison-pill the Lakers (who are going to match anyway) + simultaneously skip an opportunity?

 

[Tremendous Upside]

The funniest thing about this thread is that people claim to have "followed" Paul Reed for years.

Highest of high comedy.

They are so salty about this. It’s kind of funny.

“But that’s the beauty of this offer sheet structure. It’s not 8 this year for the Sixers it’s 22 with the tax. Danny is basically 1) daring Josh Harris to not be a cheapskate, and 2) sabotaging their max cap plans next year. It really is a brilliant gambit.”

“Putting my personal feelings aside for a moment, tip of the cap to Danny Ainge for crafting the pettiest offer sheet structure I’ve ever seen. Seriously F that guy forever, but well played Danny.”

“Danny”- in a tone of disdain”

“Really interesting way for the Jazz to get themselves out of the deal in a year.”

“Exactly. This is a brilliant move by Ainge to screw over a team.”

That’s just a taste. . .

This is fantastic stuff. The comedy value alone makes this one of my favorite Ainge moves ever.

Given that the Jazz prioritized JC's renegotiation and extension this summer, this seems like a good use of the space mle: young player who's been productive in his limited minutes whose contract is only for one year if he doesn't show anything.
Zero risk with some upside as a player - and useful as trade ballast.

Who else is available for the space mle who'd agree to this type of contract?
