Buyout Options

Is it too late to trade for a player exception? Can the Jazz give a 2nd to get an exception from another team?

No... I think maybe he could get bought out knowing that he has a minimum offer someone else and they might avoid the tax that way. I don't think we can actually get in on this conversation if they release him I think its because they know another team will claim him... then they drop under the tax and can sign someone to the minimum deal with a team option for next year. Otherwise I think they keep him and pay the tax... it isn't much and they aren't in danger of being repeaters right now.
 
If Omari Spellman gets waived by the Wolves (stupid move) Utah should snatch him up. Good size for PF, good 3pt, clutch shooter. Per 36, he would be a 15/9 guy with nearly 40% from 3. I think he could be the young PF/ Stretch 5 that Utah is looking for.

But would the FO recognize that?

Answer: no.

If he's that good he'll be picked up before we ever get a chance
 
Latest word on Spellman I've seen is that Wolves now intend to keep him and play send him to the G-League for a while. Like so many of the names we've been discussing, I don't think he'd have moved the meter much at all for us.
 
Basically this is our squad. It's fine... it ain't a contender.

Had we kept Rubio, Favors and Crowder, and added Clarkson and Bojan we would have been one heck of a team to beat! Why was that not possible? Clarkson and Bojan would have given us the outside shooting we needed....and Rubio would have run the team beautifully, Favors and Crowder would have given us the inside presence to dominate with Rudy on board.
 
By the way, ESPN is giving us NO props whatsoever! We'd have to win 20 games in a row for them to even acknowledge we are in the League!

I think DL's obsession with Dante and failure to accept his mistake has been his biggest failure, and led him into more mistakes. The problem with Rubio here was that Quin wanted him to do things he wasn't good at, namely shooting. I think Ricky could've been good off the bench to control the offense and slow things down. He would've been a good antidote to those runs that occur against us. But Quin didn't want to change the style of play when Rubio was in the game.
 
Bojan made it pretty clear he came to Utah because he liked the addition of Conley.
Oh my hell... this needs to stop... he said mike in a quote where he named a couple other Jazz players... yet Jazzfanz be acting like if Mike didn't come then Bojan was out...

I will say it one last time... He. Came. Here. Because. We. Offered. Him. The. Most. Money. That doesn't sound good in a press conference so you focus on other things... but almost every free agent should say.. "I signed here because they gave me the biggest bag... the other stuff is cool doe".
