FA Targets at the MLE/BA level

Curious to know what Memphis would have taken. If they would have taken Exum instead of Crowder, then DL really needs an intervention and we could detox him from Exum on small-to-medium sized doses of Elfrid Payton.

Lol... that’s hilarious
 
Sign Vince Carter. He's not out for money. Would be a good situation for him.
 
We can bring back all the glass brothers on cheap deals. Burks, neto, hood, and exum
 
No... they have the trade exception in the deal...

One thing to watch... we might use our AB trade exception to get Wagner and the other lakers they are trying to dump. Fills in the roster and gets us some young guys for free.

Also disappointed we couldn’t dump Bradley in the Memphis deal... would have been nice to clear just a little more room... as we hunt around for FA before just bringing back Favs an extra million would have been nice.

I like the idea of the trade exception use
 
Just so we get this out there, There's 0 chance the Jazz waive Favors. The Jazz are 100% bringing him back.

Our bench is going to suck next season unless Dennis can pull off some houdini moves. One thing that is imperative in my mind is buying in to the early to mid 2nd round. There's a decent chance of landing a player there on a non-guaranteed deal that will be some solid depth next season.

I’d take that... Carroll might fit the room exception too... Dudley might be toast...

There are guys. Might be able to do a Favs for Portis swap but I don’t want to pay Portis that kinda money... just spit balling.

jazz have 4 million. they could get Wagner and Bonga in the excpetion. That would be enough for the lakers to get their max contract. I would figure they would want future first though for those players

It is clearly plan A... and it should be plan B imo.

We will find good bench pieces though... maybe Exum is unded... we might also make a trade mid season with Favs if the starting lineup doesn’t look awesome.

No... they want to give them away in the trade... I think it screws up our space to take in Conley... so it may be a no go.
 
Hey everyone... listen up...

We either waive Favs and operate with cap space or we keep Favs and have the room exception which is two years and 4.5 M... no other exceptions...

So either we use some space or we keep Favs... under no situation do we have the MLE or BAE... thank you for your time.

Sign-and-trade Rubio for enough salary to keep the MLE?
 
Jazz can sign and trade Exum for just over the MLE. Have to have a team that wants him though.

This would be my goal tbh.

Apparently the max we can pay for draft picks in a calendar year is $5.2 million. That should be enough to buy a few 2nds if the team wants them.
