Seems premature unless Locked knows how the contracts have been structured (entirely possible, I guess).

Depends on how the contracts are structured. If Favs got the full MLE, it means his salary decreases over the 3 years. Same could be true of JC (?).

Unless the Jazz are making trades, it's probably it. This + bringing back the non-guaranteed guys and minimum contract players. If the Jazz are willing to pay a bit of luxury tax, they have the bi-annual exception (BAE), which starts at $3.6 million. That's all they can do.

Don't think so. 6 guaranteed players + Azubuike and Hughes brought salaries to about $106.5 mil. If Favs and JC are getting max raises, they'd combine for about $20.2 mil in 20/21. LT is at 132.6 mil, apron is at $138.9 mil. So the Jazz have plenty of space under the apron for their...

Stupid.

Edit: It's about 30% more than the MLE with max raises.

So with max raises, about $11.6 next year. Tight for the Jazz if they want to use the full MLE and stay under the LT. Still some work to do.

Yup. The Jazz are effectively over the cap with or without JC (in any event, the MLE + BAE are worth a lot more than what little cap space they might have without JC). Which is why doing something with JC is an absolute imperative--re-signing or using in an S&T (the rules of which I'd need to...

But those minimum players might have some NBA experience, in which case the minimum salary is higher. Additionally, the Jazz have some non-guaranteed players making more than a minimum player with the equivalent experience. Which is why it's simpler (and equally correct) to start with the full...

If you're interested in the current cap situation, sure, but that's not the point of this exercise. The Jazz have about $26 million under the LT* to add 6 or 7 players by some combination of: re-signing JC, retaining current players on non-guaranteed contracts, using the MLE and BAE, and...

The point is to show how much money the jazz have to fill the roster, so it makes no sense to include roster holds. The Jazz have $26 million under the LT to sign 6 or 7 players.

Outside of re-signing JC and using the MLE and BAE, the Jazz are only permitted to sign minimum players, just like every other team over the salary cap. If JC signs a contract starting at ~$10 mil, the Jazz have plenty of room under the LT to use the full MLE. If they're willing to creep into...

No you don't. Those spots will ultimately be filled by players.

I just gave you the numbers; you're misinformed. Per Capulator: Conley: $34,502,130 Gobert: $26,525,281 Bogdanovic: $17,850,000 Ingles: $10,863,637 O'Neale: $8,500,000 Mitchell: $5,195,501 Azubuike (#27): $2,119,320 Hughes (minimum): $898,310 Total: $106,454,179 LT: $132,627,000 Space under...

I don't understand your math: 8 players to about $106.5 mil + JC + MLE = 10 players at about $126.5 mil (using your JC number and rounding up) $6 million is sufficient for 4-5 players at the minimum. It's also more than enough space to use the BAE and stay under the apron. And poor though...

Point taken on the three providing very little defensive value. But...Denver didn't nullify Conley and JC; they averaged a combined 36.5 points. After their 6 guaranteed contracts and 2 draft picks, the Jazz are about $26 million below the luxury tax. They could potentially sign JC, use the...

Redundant how? The Jazz have a nice 3 guard rotation with Donovan, JC and Conley.

The Jazz could renounce Azubuike (they won't).

That's it.

Impressed by the way he runs and finds space in transition (without the ball) and cuts hard in the half court; don't always see that stuff in highlights. Looks like a smart, high energy player.
