Lauri re-signs for 5 years 238 million

[Saint Cy of JFC]

It's just a guess but the Jazz have been signaling to other GM's that their extra cap is not available for dumps. So we have been guessing what their scheme has been and this has been one of the guesses.

It's available now

The only way the Jazz are getting Okoro is if Cleveland wants to do a S&T where they take Clarkson, which I think makes 0 sense for them unless Mitchell just really wants to hangout with Clarkson again

Not necessarily. Or maybe they don't if want to avoid being crippled by the apron then maybe they just let him go. He is a bad shooter but young and could get better. But yeah I guess they may want to do a sign and trade if they feel they are losing out. New CBA may lead to situations like this.

 

[Coach Ellis]

None of these upper-echelon contracts are reasonable lol

I’d much rather see big money go to good people and Lauri is good people. A lot of the money he makes on this contract will benefit a lot more people than just himself.

The Jazz can only offer him like 8 million per year which is lower than his cap hold. I doubt Okoro would even sign that at this point and would probably just go the QO route

Of course and it was before too if we want to be cute.

Not really. They had to finish the Lauri deal first

If I’m being real, I’m not in love with this but we’ll likely never know the particulars of what the offers were (multiple first round picks and pick swaps” is not particular: two picks? Three picks? Protections? Swaps or super swaps?). Unless @Tony Jones wants to give us the scoop of all scoops.

No 15 million as far understood it to be. If Lauri took 24 million the first year it would be 11 million. But whatever Lauri took less money his first year for a reason. Again this is a guess, but Cy wants to get worked up by that then be my guest. . Lol

Maybe you're right, but I doubt it

Edit, you are definitely wrong

No, they could have messed around with 10ish million without impacting the Lauri deal. We far exceeded the available cap to do the Lauri deal as evidenced by the 4 million he left on the table.

I am just a Internet troll in some form or another. You can make your points but I can squawk away too. I don't have all the rules in front of me. But let's see.
