Kris Dunn reportadly to the Clippers

[The Fresh Prince]

Only the Utah Jazz would waive 2 former MVP's who still have atleast 2 years of a shelf life left in the NBA. We are such a funny franchise lol.

So in the end, what did we get out of this? A 2nd?

Still TBD, but I think that is the most likely result.

Heard Law Murray on the Athletic pod… sounds like Dunn for Westbrook and we waive Westbrook lol. Is this the last time we waive him? I hope not. Likely pick up a second for our trouble so that’d be okay I suppose.

Then why is no one trading for Westbrook?

4 million dollar second rounder seems like a steep price (not that I care)

About the asking price normally. Also might be an offset of like whatever the minimum salary is. We may end up at 90% of the cap this year since Ryan needs fundz

Maybe Dunn didn’t want to come back, but wouldn’t we rather pay him that money to actually play for us as opposed to using it to just cut Westbrook again?

No, the Jazz don't want Dunn back and I doubt he wants to be back all that much if the plan is to play young and get losses.

I think holding onto him was the Jazz playing both sides. If they were able to successfully pull off value buys that built a strong team, they bring him back. If they cant they let him walk or facilitate a s&T for second rounder(s).

What if in the end we only received cash considerations? Would that even be legal? Could a cotrillionaire like Balmer just pay teams with cap room to get off bad contracts?

Yes. Teams can send up to 7M in cash. Detroit sent us the exact amount of Saben Lee’s salary two years ago.

OK, Good to know it's capped. I figure there had to be rule about that.
