Miller would be a great fit.

 

[Hax0rs]

who are the utes?

Its that team a TDS football senior hasn't beat.

 

[HipHopAnonymous]

I vote yes on the Miller Proposition.

Jazz get: Miller
Nuggs get: 2nd rounder and cap space/relief.

They need more 2nd rounders and cap relief from us?

I'd rather the minutes to Neto or Burks.

Sorry pal, that is not a correct statement. Nice try though.

I'd rather the minutes to Neto or Burks.

The media has been saying that due to contract issues, Neto is likely to wait 1-2 years before joining the Jazz. I don't know how much the buyout clause is, just keep reading it online and hearing it on 1280AM.

Is there still room to absorb Andre Miller's $5m post the Warriors trade? Utah still only has 1-PG on the roster.

i think that would put us slightly over cap

not sure but when you go over cap you pay luxury tax

and you are only allowed to go oer the tax a few years in a row before the tax rate spikes

no point in starting that process in motion now

From Desert News:

The trade that surfaced helped the Warriors with financial relief they needed, but the multifaceted transaction also pushed Utah's salary closer to the league minimum that's expected to be in the neighborhood of $52.5 million.
The Jazz took on three expiring contracts from Golden State that total $24 million, boosting Utah's payroll — relatively small previously because of all of the young players — up to the $49 million mark.

They have $3.5 million to spend before even hitting the minimum and another $6m in space before they hit the cap. There is definitely room to absorb the $5m from Andre and and add another piece or two. Denver might want to keep Andre now that they lost out on Iggy though.

 

[Sneakers]

Andre is too good of a player for us to be interested in him. It would also be a mistake to sign a competent back up at this point... I wouldn't have been against it originally but it would totally be a mixed message about wtf we're trying to do

Jazz do need a vet backup PG who can play starter minutes if Burke gets hurt.
Burke does play reckless. He was always beat up in college.
