Offseason - Tomorrow Begins Today

I don’t think anyone else is offering instant cap relief for Love. Those teams are either looking at free agency or not anywhere on Love’s timeline, so Cleveland can’t be picky (but they’ll pretend to be picky enough to weasel DL out of a first rounder). Absorbing Love into capspace kills us because we have other tweaks we need to make.

Absorbing Love into cap space would be necessary to improve the tem because the MLE would become available. It would be difficult to add Love and about 10 million in cap space. That said, I don't want Love.
 
I don't think cap relief matters to the Cavs either as they're balls deep in a full on rebuild and so you may as well pay a guy like Love his money to reach your 90% of the cap and be able to be extra cautious with how you go about playing him/limiting his minutes/managing his load, etc. I don't think they're that desperate to get off Love's deal, and I also think the Cavs know they'll get more suitors for Love when he's got less years on his deal which would fit their timeline if they draft well and want to retool around young pieces.

I sort of hope they get the #1 pick. They’d get Zion which could make playing time tough to come by for Nance and/or Love. I’d love to get Nance.
 
I think Bogdanvoic might be a more realistic target than guy's like Kemba, Middleton, Tobias, etc. He'd be a really good fit and a solid second option offensively.

 
Bogdanovic: 18 points PG on 50% shooting from the field and 43% from 3-point range.

Very solid numbers. I’d like him but we still need to go out and get a star PG as well.
 
the tobias harris isn't anything new..

there was rumors like last year before the playoffs that tobias harris was a fan of snyder. Mirotic was also interested in the jazz.

This is the most substantial info I've seen on there being mutual interest. Jones is pretty conservative with saying stuff like this.
 
He’s also said that the Jazz will go as hard at Kemba as Kemba will allow.

Also that the Jazz’s big move could be vi trade.

I don't think that's true. You can't absorb a player without cap space, once that cap space is used, you aren't suddenly issued an MLE. You have cap space, or you have the MLE.

Unless you have a link.

"Absorbing into capspace" was inprecise. Trading for Love with assets that would likely become capspace would be needed for the Jazz to have the MLE. This would also probably include resigning Rubio so that he doesn't become capspace.

What do you guys think Mirotic gets paid?

I think he comes cheap-ish. But I don't know. That tier that will go higher than the MLE but won't get a max are hard to read. Until the max contracts are doled out, we can't predict very much of anything, including money.

Unless he blows up this series I can see anywhere from 12-18M being his per year range. If we can get Conley and retain 12M in space I think we'd have enough to be the highest bidder and we'd have an open starting spot.
