But if the Jazz were really serious about going after somebody they could put in a waiver claim before he reaches the free agent market. So their claim of being active just seems disingenuous to me. I mean unless of course we’re still waiting for particular buyouts.
I think in order for the jazz to sign some of these buy out candidates they have to pass through wavers because I think we are up against the cap. Once the player clears wavers they have to want to come here
We really can't though... we'd need cap space or an exception... we'd also have to pay them the contract amount rather than the minimum.
I suppose you are right that we couldn’t even afford the buyout price for most of these guys without going over the cap.
A scrub who average 13+4+3 in his career for which he spent near half of the time as a sub? Conley had a better career but he averaged 15+6+3 while being a starter for the majority of his career. The difference here isn't that great. Reggie Jackson at his prime was in the league’s top 10 PG category, where I'd also put Conley. Except Conley was able to outlast Jackson.
