Trade deadline discussion

Nope. Because the history of managing the tax in a very careful is very clear, not only for us both for most NBA teams. There is a ton of money spent to make sure the 100's of millions are managed well and it is evident. The fact that unforeseen opportunities arise that cause you to give up a 2nd rounder or pay more than you want is part of the business. IMO, suggesting that the cap is not paid attention to managed sloppily could not possibly be more naive and there is no way the Millers or Mr Smith would let that happen. It is arm chair quarterbacking with no clue of what is really going on.


Man... I am shocked they did it again... even with a **** ton of movement and additions they somehow did it again.

This is what careful cap management looks like.
 
The Matt Thomas deal feels like part of a contingency plan if we have to let go of JC or Mike because of budget cuts... not that he is a replacement but he'd be part of the solution.

Niang might get a significant raise this off-season. Someone like Hughes or Thomas may need to step in at the wing.
 
Jazz need to go all in on Lamarus Aldridge and dump Lloyd Christmas.

Yeah, that and living in Miami.
They make moves like this every year with regard to the cap and always figure out a way to be under. Many of these moves have nothing to do with being in Miami and everything to do with planning and math.

If you want to pay the tax that is fine... it makes no sense to start the repeater tax clock and dip your toes barely into the tax.
 
Boston gave away a starter to narrowly avoid the tax... not saying that is smart... just saying that is how crippling the repeater tax can be.

Jimmy Butler signed with the Heat because it's Miami.
Victor Oladipo wants to sign with the Heat because it's Miami, and that cooled his trade market.
The Heat are a well-run organization to be sure, but they're playing with a better hand than the Jazz.

Mike Conley is overpaid, but overpaying for some players is how a team like the Jazz competes.

I'm simply talking about doing that while barely ducking the tax. They manage finances like I would expect teams to... I am not commenting on anything else they did other than they had a million parts they juggled in the air and yet again found a way to sneak barely under the tax.

NONE OF THAT HAS TO DO WITH BEING IN MIAMI... JUST SMART CAP MANAGEMENT.

What’s our cap situation looking like. Any chance we get below it to avoid the repeater tax or is it too late?

It would be in 2 years... next year the tax will be high if we bring Conley back. Will likely require dumping Bogey or JC or Favs so that it doesn't get astronomical.

I agree.

I don't think Clarkson is going anywhere. I could see Bogey moved if he struggles in the playoffs. Same with Conley.

If this Matt guy comes in, is truly a lights out shooter and he is an average defender, a player like that helps a guy like Don.

The more Don improves as a PG, the more we don't need a PG in the lineup with him. I want Conley to stay, but we can't sign him to to crippling contract.

OKC is doing it right... those picks will get used in trade for established guys or to move up the draft to get a guy they like. Boston collected picks but Ainge is an ******* and no one likes him so people didn't want to do deals with him. He also over valued those picks. Presti won't have those issues.

Hell Presti is so good he can't even build a team bad enough to tank... they win more than Sacramento, Minny, and NO who are actually trying.
And he's doing in a total dog **** market. I think he might be the low-key GOAT.

I have a feeling Conley is content here and would take less to play here, than in other places. The question is whether it’s still something we can afford. He’s on the wrong side of 30 and has made his money and this might be the most fun he’s had playing ball and the best team he’s played on.

Will be interesting to see what he does, and what the jazz want to do.
 
Looks like he couldn't even get a 2nd-round pick back.

Pat running laps. Again.
 
This isn’t the same team from the playoffs, ****tard.

No one knows how we’ll do yet. Quit acting like you’re Nostradamus.

So we have favors and draft picks, real different team scholar. DL is a moron is he your dad? Did he offer you a 2nd round pick to like him ?
