2020 Free Agency Thread

It’s too bad we can’t afford KDunn. I think him or Harrison would be a nice final piece. Adds some defense and athletic youth. Would make for a good balanced off season minus draft night embarrassment.

It's not entirely clear to me why that's necessarily out of the question. Presumably, you can get either of those guys with the BAE, and the Favs and JC contracts could be structured such that there's plenty of room under the apron to use it.

At least two people, including David Locke, are reporting that the Jazz are already in the Luxury Tax, so perhaps the Favs and JC contracts have been structured to give the Jazz less flexibility this season. Although if the Jazz are already in the LT they might as well spend up to the apron, so maybe the BAE is in play (??).

I think the BAE is automatically counted toward the salary cap until it's used ot renounced, similar to the MLE. That's why they are saying we are in the tax. If we don't use it and renounce it, we are probably under? Not sure... if someone can confirm, please do so...

Just remember that I’m on your side here. I’ve become basically a One Note Artist on this topic.

I heard Locke say some **** today that would give you an aneurism. Just know we have learned nothing and every move we have made is so we can play the same way for 48 minutes. Don’t get your hopes up for a change. Like we have literally learned nothing.

My god!!! This makes me hate the Udoka pick even more. We couldn’t find som vet minimum center. Makes me wonder if the jazz know Gobert wants the super max and they don’t want to pay it

I took a nap. Woke up and all of the money was gone on pretty damn big contracts to run back a 2019/2020 hybrid team.

On one hand the team should be more lineup flexible and talented than either of those last two teams, and I’m interested to see how they look.

On the other hand, it’s impossible to take this team seriously as a legit contender. And all of the moves made this week really don’t seem to make sense together. And honestly the random Jazzfan user could have probably come up with an offseason outcome that was more interesting and better focused on our actual needs.

Hard to read what the FOs actual goals are plans are right now. Really hope they have a master plan of some kind.

I have run some math and if we are going to field a 15 man roster we don’t have room under the apron to comfortably use the BAE. I could be wrong but I’m 70% sure.

After all the dumbassery this offseason I’d still call it success if we signed Shaq Harrison to a minimum deal. If he can’t get better than that he should hire me as an agent.

So besides that the Jazz lost a playoff series because they refused to make any adjustments until the closing minutes of a seven game series, THE NUMBER ONE SEED IN THE LEAGUE LOST FOR THE SAME REASON.

Teams that strategize this way are like a 19th century army marching into a 20th century battle.

Nah man wait until Favs shuts down Jamal Murray and we get to the second round... the second round is where titles are won!

It'll depend (at least in part) on how the Favs and JC contracts are structured.

If the Jazz are willing to pay the tax, they might as well use the BAE, provided there's a worthwhile player to use it on.

Time is a flat circle.

My brain will explode if we did all this bull **** and Christian Wood goes anywhere for less than the MLE. Some straight up Scanners ****. Or maybe Raiders of the Lost Ark.
