Jazz trade John collins

Think CLE as a ring chaser is an option.

Yeah if he wants to just go back to the team he played for a ride the bench for a ring. Or does he want to live in Utah? Love might be one of like 10 players who actually would want to live in Utah.

CBA/Cap bro’s, what’s the path to Kuminga now?

I know most don’t want him next to Ace……but I do.

I'm with ya. I want to give it a whirl

Two ways this could be done.

1) Cap space+Warriors don’t match. The Jazz could create $18.7M in space by waiving Springer+Martin. They could create a little bit more depending on what they do with Anderson and Love.

2) TPE sign and trade. The Jazz should create about a $20M TPE from this trade. Kuminga could fit into that.

I suppose the Warriors could also do Anderson for Kuminga if they want Anderson back.

My man, thanks.

Wow! This trade is almost as good as the Sexton trade and that's saying something, because that's the best move we've made in a long time.

I’m interested at the right price. Jazz better know they want him though - Sexton just proved that if you don’t want that guy long term, it’s going to cost you a Nurkic and a pick to move off him.

Let’s go get Grimes

My man, thanks.

Just to add onto this, the NBA 10+ vet minimum is $3.6M. So if we assume buyouts for KLove and Anderson where they give back what they’d make on the min (standard practice), that’s an additional $7.2M in potential cap space.

So if we go for a Kuminga deal with outright cap space, it could start out at around $26M. This is an important number because it should push the Warriors past the first apron.

Other posts detail how they could absorb Love and Anderson into an exception and increase their TPE amount.

 

[Schrödinger's Gerbil]

Anderson and Love combined make less than $14M. That is just a little bit more than half what Collins makes. So the Jazz have saved almost half of what Collins makes in money + whatever they could get back in potential buyouts.

Additionally, the Jazz should open up a TPE close to $20M. This could be useful if the Jazz wanted to make a run at a RFA like Kuminga in S&T.

Why the hell would the Jazz trade for Kuminga? How does using cap money to acquire a guy who couldn't get playing time on a team the desperately needed more wing talent and who's never come close to sniffing his potential after four years in the league help the Jazz win?

Ainge can't be that stupid...can he?

I’m also wondering if there’s a chance to take back bad money for picks with this newfound cap space / TPE.

…..he’s 22.

You aren’t as bright as you want people so desperately to believe.

I personally wouldnt touch Kuminga.

Grimes is the guy I’d target with cap space. You could probably get the deal to a point where a salary match would push the Sixers over the second apron.

We should make it painful for the Sixers at least. These teams holding their RFA’s are in a strong position this year when nobody has cap space, but we have changed the game.
