Desert News: Great interview with Quin with insight into the offseason work they are doing

Could they agree to pay him 1 million per year for three years, and 1.5 million signing bonus?

I see no reason they cannot write in extra money into the contract to compensate his expenses for a buyout.

But the Jazz can only put so much directly to the buyout I thought. Where are the CBA gurus?

Yes, I believe $500K is the limit. So they pay the $500K and just give him a bigger contract to offset any remaining amount. Likely a signing bonus so he doesn't have to pay anything out of pocket. That's what I meant by selling the pick to have enough to pay for a buyout.
 
Who's the interviewer? Sounded like the's crying every time he asks a question.

And before the interviews it sounds like a nervous student reading an essay in front of his class. Never heard of these guys, do they work for a local radio station? Maybe UofU or BYU?

Or he could be the writer of that article?

Carter Williams is a sports writer at DeseretNews.com. He hails from Rochester, N.Y. and spends most of his time Tweeting sports and researching sabermetrics.

Sounds like an intern from BYU. But that's ok; everyone has to start sometime and he's just a little nervous. I'm sure - in fact, I KNOW - I sounded that nervous when I had to make my first few presentations in front of corporate leadership.

1. Hood is more important than you think.
2. Burks is more important than you think.

3. Dennis Lindsey is WAY more important than you think (but he's a softie).
4. Quin Snyder is the real badass!
 
Can't wait to see Exum next season - imagine if he makes a Gobert-like improvement....

Honestly I expect big jumps from Exum, Hood, Gobert and Burks.

Burks shooting and finishing at the rim will go up.

Gobert's D will be better due to his increased reach. His offensive game will see solid improvement. The combination makes him the DPOY and an allstar this year.

Hood will become the teams best shooter and teams will be forced to guard him on the 3 point line.

Exum will be more aggressive in attacking the rim and using his speed. He will see the floor better as he will be used to the speed of the game. I also expect solid improvement in his shot as well.

Favors and Hayward will see mild improvement.

Burke regresses even more and is on his way out.

Snyder pushes but falls just short of COY and the Jazz win 53 games. 7th seed and lose in the first round 4-2.

Yeah I still remember having to do that Toastmasters public speaking course while working in one of the big 4 accounting firms.. boy, what we had to go through to make money in those days... makes me sick just thinking about it ... ~__~

This is the part I'm most sceptical about TBH witchu.
