If he’s not taking a big enough paycut to get them the full MLE then he shouldn’t take a paycut at all. Maybe threading the needle is another 1 + 1 PO at the meaningfully discounted number and he reups next year? IDK.

Makes sense, we had just drafted Filipowski.
Absolutely a way for the Jazz to make this happen. Lakers wouldn’t have better partners than the Jazz for this.
And as long as they’re trying to acquire a player on the verge of falling apart, it probably doubly helps the pick.

How do you figure? I’m okay with looking at options to getting the pick unprotected, but I don’t see too many realistic pathways.

The Jazz are $50 million under the cap and need to get to the salary floor. It would be wise, IMO, to rent the cap space not necessary for the Lauri R&E, especially for an expiring (rather than go shopping).

I’m down with you on the how, but not sure on the who? Who can the Lakers trade for that cap space that actually moves the needle either way? And is a guy that they’re willing to move in order to make the deal happen?

I'm quite sure the Joker would love himself a nice high maintenance distraction.
