Clarkson Opts In

IF JC is traded... IF it happens... not predicting it for sure happens... here are my guesses:

- Clips for Norm Powell basically straight up saves LA a bunch of money and gives them a bench vet replacement for a guy that may not be happy (there has been enough noise on Norm that I believe he is out there)
- LA exercises Beasley's option then makes the trade... we get draft stuff for our trouble.
- Bucks one is trickier... wonder if Allen plus a signed and traded Ingles could get us to the right salary... needs some draft comp in there.

I suppose Boston with Brogdon could happen as well but yeah I want a pick in that one. I think the clips Brogdon deal fell apart because they couldn't get a physical in time and had concerns.

IF Jordan Clarkson gets traded, I think there’s a decent chance it’ll come from a team that isn’t on anybody’s radar at the moment.

I could see Knicks/Nets maybe. Magic?
 
One thing to watch on the Lakers... Beasley's option date is today. If they decline or extend it then it will be a bit telling. Sounds like they are operating over the cap as they already basically announced they are getting Bruce Brown for the MLE.
 
Wow we got a boatload of competition for the two guard spots. Now Sexton at 1 makes almost zero sense offensively and defensively. Has to be Dunn or THT, unless we make additional moves.

JC made great strides in his passing last year, and hopefully he can bring those in from the 2 spot. I'm happy he stayed but very surprised he agreed to do so with that cap number. There has to be some extension on the table otherwise it makes no sense he would settle for 14/1.
 
The fact that no one else, besides Sarah Todd, has reported on this surely indicates that it's either an opt-in with an extension, or it's an opt-in + extension as a part of a trade, right?

TJ said early in the week if JC opts in look for it to be part of a trade. Eric and Andy mentioned the opt in.

It will either be a trade or a renegotiate and extend... book it.

I don't think we can trade for Beasley if they pick up the team option. You have to wait either for a year or for the contract the player had when you traded him to expire before signing him again.

From Hollinger... basically the renegotiate deal...

One thing to watch with Utah's Jordan Clarkson is whether his "opt in" turns into a "renegotiate and extend." Utah could potentially top up his $14.2 million contract with the Jazz's expected $11.2 million in remaining cap space. That would put Clarkson on the books this year for $25.6 million in 2023-24. By doing so, Utah could then decline his deal by as much as 40 percent in 2024-25 to $15.5 million, and by 8 percent a year later in 2025-26 to $14.2 million. The total package would as if he he'd opted out and re-signed in Utah for three years, $55 million – except that this scenario manages the cap much more favorably for the Jazz by pushing a bigger chunk of his money into the 2023-24 season's leftover cap room.

Good point. Would need to be a three team deal or it could end up being Bamba. I'd still look and watch that "news".

Could easily be wrong, but feels more like a trade. Seems like if it was just an opt-in + extension that it would have all been reported at the same time.

Kinda my thought too... but I posted earlier JC is likely not plan A for a lot of teams... so he might be plan B for a couple scenarios including in Utah. So if it doesn't come through we pay JC and use our space (likely have it agreed in basic terms now) but we are working together to find the right spot for him... and it may end up being here.
