Yeah, I mean this would be it if you had to do it, but mehhhhhh.I would love this deal... If DA thinks there are better 1st round picks to take than the OKC picks.

OKC has some better picks that I would prefer. Perhaps some "Best of" the 2024 and best of the 2025 and best of 2026 pick guarantees. Otherwise, many of these are gambles at this point.I would love this deal... If DA thinks there are better 1st round picks to take than the OKC picks.

Yes we can. As it stands now, we are at $96,6 million in salary for next season. The cap is projected to be at $142 million, but could also rise to $150 million if the cap rises 10%. To get Lauri to his 30% max for 2025-2026 and future years, we will have to bump his salary for next season with $12,4 million if the cap is $142 million and with $14 million if it is $150 million. This bump will give him those amounts in extra salary for next season and make it possible to extend him to his max with a 40% raise for the first season after his contract would expire.If they have in mind that we want to renegotiate+extend Lauri, we can't really make any trades that bring back future salary. Makes dealing KO, THT, and even Clarkson to some extent more difficult. I hope they have a good pulse on how Lauri's feeling about resigning with and without renegotiate+extend.
Can't think of many trades as lopsided as this one. For the record, the best FRP out of the five is probably our own pick. That's how pathetic this package is.I would love this deal... If DA thinks there are better 1st round picks to take than the OKC picks.

In the $142 million cap scenario, we would be $33 million under the cap after a renegotiaton and extend. in the $150 million scenario, we would be $39 million under.
There will be cap holds that will eat a bit into these numbers, but not by much. We can easily take back salary in trades this year, but I can`t see many scenarios where we take back significant long term salary. None of the trade candidates will give us much except for Lauri and the only way we would need to take back bad salary, would be for more picks. We have enough picks and if the Jazz decide to keep Markkanen, it is to get back to being good pretty fast. In this scenario, there will be no place for bad salaries.
Oh if we only had Rudy Gay back.Jazz salaries are at $99.3 with 10 players. Cap holds for empty roster spots brings this up to about $102. A max renegotiation and extend would bring Lauri's number up to 30% of $142, which is $42.6. That is an increase of about $24.5. That brings our total to ~$126.5M. Cap space under a $142M cap would be about $15.5M....which is admittedly more than I thought. So in theory the Jazz could bring that amount of incoming salary and still renegotiate and extend Lauri.
It still sucks to have John Collins $26.5M on the books though. We could renegotiate and extend Lauri and still have max cap space after.

We likely have a top ten pick as a caphold… May want to keep Simone so that would be another cap hold. Could likely retain him with an exception if we wanted. We don’t need to take Lauri up to the max next year. Can give him about 15M more next year and then increase up to 140% to get him to the max the following year. He gets an extra 15M a year early and gets the long term security of the max.Jazz salaries are at $99.3 with 10 players. Cap holds for empty roster spots brings this up to about $102.

Jahn KoLinnZ wUz FRee doe!!!Yeah...and the $15.5 is without KO and THT as well. With Collins on the books, we are in a great financial position to....bring back the same team : (
We don`t need to max out Lauri for next year. The key is to be able to give him a salary that allows him to get the 30% max on the extension years. The $12-$15 million he will get extra next year is free money that he won`t get if he sees out his current contract.Jazz salaries are at $99.3 with 10 players.
