This board is hilarious. All the complaining in this thread about not using the cap space(because the Jazz are cheap), and then they use the cap space, and the reason they did was to save money.

Apparently the Jazz are cheap no matter what they do.

I would like to go ahead and point out that I was wrong and your opinion was $$$$. I was a fool for doubting Dennis Lindsey, and he pulled of a brilliant deal using the assets you detailed in a previous post.

I can't believe he got Rubio for the Oklahoma City pick!!! One of my biggest criticisms of Lindsey is that he got nothing for Kanter. This was a fantastic trade. I feel like the Twolves got fleeced. DL took full advantage of the situation. Good thing he's running the team and not me.

Wow, great post. Very refreshing.

If Utah signs Hayward - and let's say Ingles would stay at $12M - the Jazz would be around $5M into the tax. I think Lindsey would try to dump Burks at the deadline.

Trading for Rubio (which I applaud, BTW) is not without its risks. If Hayward leaves, the Jazz could only get down to about $85M (renouncing everyone they could, including Ingles). Only $14M won't buy them much. And then they'd have to fill out a couple of roster spots with vet minimum guys.

This is one aspect of the cap I disagree with. I think if you lose a player, you should be able to replace him with a player of equal salary. Keep the cap hold in place for that free agent and have it act as an exception.

Or just manage your cap and keep your free agents. If you lose a guy, then you should have traded him. No way the Jazz deserved to keep exceptions the year they let Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap leave. Or get an exception for a high priced guy like Richard Jefferson having his contract finally end. That would be a disaster for small market franchises.

After this thread, I am convinced Beantown is actually a Celtics fan and posts here when bored.

And what of Hayward? Jazz have managed their cap. They want to keep Hayward, But if he leaves, there's no way to replace him with a player that is even close.
