Doufos is gone

[Stifle Tower]

I think by trading Koufos it puts us right at, or just a bit under, the luxury tax threshhold no?

Probably close. Does anyone think shedding Koufos might be a move in advance of matching for Matthews. Gail was livid when Portland tried to steal Millsap from us. Maybe she and Greg are willing to be exceed the limit this season. At last report, Matthews' offer is actually $32.5M. The signing bonus, of course, is amortized over the 5 years for cap purposes. So maybe the first year hit is around $6M.

Ok, honestly, that made me laugh.

Um, I tried searching...found nothing.

You're a moran. Here you go. You don't have to thank me. https://ballhype.com/story/fes-boom-bitches/

Now they'll have to sign Archie's boy from Senegal.

I really hope not. But I think it's more because Koufos was a terrible player.

No, no, I know about what Doof said, but you referenced Fes saying something in a post game interview...

Look at my above post, and give me reps you lazy moran!

Honestly I think it has more to do with resigning Fes than Mathews. Per Ross Siler the initial cap hit is $5.765, but like Millsap, w/the bonus Wes is due a large amt up front ($9.14 mil). Ultimately, it will come down to how good of a player the Jazz view Wes being, and unless it's more than a solid-role player I don't think we'll match.

Dont let vslice hear you say that...dude'll go off.

Actually I agree with Thriller, Koufos did suck last year. I only responded when you said I was lying about Koufos having a nice touch around the basket, but I digress. To paraphrase your own dialect, let it go bro.


Also, just heard KOC on 1320kfan. He mentioned the arrival of Jefferson gives Utah a solid 3-man rotation upfront. Don't want to read to much into it, but I suppose it's possible Fes isn't in their longterm plans and we'll be seeing a bigman rotation similar to last year's (possibly w/Okur off the bench?). Still early, but I found that interesting.

Signing bonus is immaterial unless the Millers are short on their cash flow. Now or later, it's the same amount (well, actually about $1M more due to the time value of money on that extra $4M up front). Fes may not be in the long-term plans, but I think they should try to keep him. He's insurance in case Okur isn't ready and he could be a good trade chip. Send him to a team with injuries in exchange for a 2nd rounder later this season.

I gotta give credit where credit is due. Viny, although most of the time I think you're a complete hack, I also laugh more at your posts than any others. I want to give you the benefit of the doubt, being that you actually act like an idiot intentionally. Jury is still out. Bro.
