Tobias Harris wants to come to utah

Lets just say that Harris's agent comes to the Jazz and said he wants to sign with Utah what can you offer? Guaranteed type of talk if the price is right

Jazz go to Memphis and get Exum added to the package for Conley
The Jazz waive Neto
The Jazz waive favors
Find a team to take Bradley
Jazz waive Niang

To late to do the math but it seems like that would be over 30 million.

So the Jazz would be looking at

Conley
Mitchell, O'Neale
Ingles
Harris
Gobert

With nothing else on the roster. they would have the trade exception and what Min salaries after that?

I guess you could go to the lakers and and take Wagner and Bonga
Hope Neto comes back for the Min salaries and Niang

Maybe some vets would sign for the min hoping to be on the champion"ship"

Of course we have to let our beloved loyal soldier Favors go...…… but wow Jazz have the beginning of your young veteran core.

rather have Julius Randle

So randle signs in Utah for 17 mill?
 
According to Tony Jones of The Athletic, Tobias Harris still has a strong interest in playing for the Utah Jazz. Likewise there’s a strong interest from the Utah Jazz in Tobias Harris.

Let me clarify one thing. Yes, Tobias has strong interest in the Jazz. Yes the jazz have strong interest in Tobias. Still, the Conley trade makes a marriage unlikely, financially. Very unlikely

I know this is their livelihood and everything... but it’s kinda ridiculous to think of 17 million dollars as a ‘low-ball’ offer... I’ll never see that amount of money over my entire lifetime... that’s insane...

While Utah’s dream scenario would be to land Mike Conley and Tobias Harris in the same offseason, it is a LONG shot of epic proportions. There’s a lot that would have to go into it. Here’s how it could happen.

Tobias is willing to take less money than the $32.7MM max and sign him into cap space
Tobias Harris can make as much as $32.7MM/yr on a max salary. If Utah is able to find takers for Tony Bradley and Dante Exum’s contracts while renouncing the rights to Derrick Favors and Raul Neto, they could conceivably land Tobias Harris. This is probably the biggest long shot scenario. Tobias Harris’ next chance at a contract would be at age 30 so he’s wanting to maximize his payout during his prime.

However, Utah may be able to convince him to sign a shorter term deal so he’s able to hit free agency again when he’s 28 and potentially earn more money with another raise. That is also a big long shot.

Not as well versed on how trades and salary cap work... Tobias is going to command the max at around $30 million, right? Is a sign and trade with the Sixers possible? It would take Favors ($17 mil) and Ingles ($13 mil) to get to that number though.

Sign and trade with the Philadelphia 76ersfor Tobias Harris
This one is an even longer longshot. Utah would have to trade Derrick Favors, Dante Exum, and Tony Bradley to the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for Tobias Harris. That would allow them to sign him to an even greater max deal—5 years—and give him the full amount of the max. If Utah wants to do this type of deal, there’d probably need to be a third team as Philadelphia most likely would not want to go into development mode.

The reason it’s such a long shot is why would Philadelphia be motivated to do this? They would know Utah wouldn’t have enough cap space to sign Tobias Harris outright unless they severely compromised their depth by trading Joe Ingles. Or they could even try to pry Joe Inglesfrom Utah during the trade. If Tobias Harris was dead set on coming to Utah I think Utah may even be tempted to do something, but once again ... we’re dealing with a lot of what ifs.

At this point it feels like we’re dealing with NBA2K transactions rather than real NBA deals. Except there’s no overriding opposing GMs’ decisions.

It would surprise me if Utah was able to pull in Tobias Harris, but after Utah went so aggressively for 2nd round picks while giving the reason that they could have a lot of roster spots available this upcoming season, maybe there’s more to the idea that Tobias Harris may sign in Utah than we realize.
 
Contrary to what SLC dunk says IMO if Harris comes to Utah, the Sign and trade option is the most likely that will bring him to us. I doubt we can create the required capspace otherwise. The easiest way really is for Harris to want to come to Utah specifically and go to the 76ers similar to how CP3 went to LAC and tell them - I will go to Utah, so this is your chance to get some compensation in return. This of course is all contingent on Philly striking out on other FAs they might want. Their biggest need last year was backup center. They were something like... -100 in 7 games in the minutes without Embiid on the floor. If you gave them Favors+Exum+2nd or two they might be OK with it and do the SnT...

This way we do a solid for Favors too and guarantee his contract.
