2023 NBA Free Agency Thread

I think they also can't aggregate salaries... which is the bigger barrier.

You're correct:

Penalties for exceeding the second apron include the loss of the mid-level exception, a ban on including cash as part of trades and the inability to accept more salary in a trade than the team sends out. A team in the second apron will also be unable to aggregate salary in trades and cannot trade its first-round pick seven years in the future (ie. its 2030 pick in 2023/24) or sign players on the buyout market.

I mean. . . if the Jazz had 3 stars, a couple of role players (with Bird rights), young guys with upside and Ryan Smith was willing to pay the tax. . . it doesn’t really sound that bad tbh. You’re just severely limited in how you add low and mid-level players. Paying the enormous tax bill is probably the biggest detriment.

So it has to be a one for one.... good luck.

Better get it done by tomorrow at 3 pm Daryl... Mr. Wait it Out gonna be forced to hustle.

Andy B Larsen mentioned he would think one of Sexton, THT, or JC would be moved. Mentioned the Jazz aren't super enamored with THT and his future with the Jazz... the @Saint Cy of JFC and @andylarsen blood feud continues.

Yeah a Harden/George 1/1 swap doesn't work either so the Clippers basically have to get it done tomorrow before 3 or it's not happening.

Full MLE is likely going to be about $12.5 million. I wonder if the Jazz end up offering someone a little bit above that number to add a guy that would otherwise be limited by the cap crunch this year.

Andy's source for Jazz information is their analytics department. He's pure nerd talk. That's fine or what it is, but he knows no actual ball.

He knows more than you for sure.
