For 2019-20, here are the contracts:
Conley $32.5
Gobert $25
Favors $17.7
Ingles $12
Exum $9.6
Mitchell $3.6
Bradley $2
O'Neale $1.6
Niang $1.6 (team option - I assume we keep him)
Neto $2 (team option - interesting decision)
Roster spot #11 $800k
Roster spot #12 $800k
Roster spot #13 $800k
TOTAL: Right around $109 million (which is the cap for 2019-20)
That means we will have the Room MLE ($4.7) and the ability to add minor contracts. We could consider waiving Favors and hoping to bring him back at a lower number. It would be risky to waive Favors, but if somebody picked up his $17.7 million deal, that would hurt our efforts to keep him and Conley. But if we could do it and extend him to $12 or $13, we would have an additional $5 million to work with.

Option No. 2 — acquiring Conley into the cap
Or, the Jazz could complete the trade by waiting until after July 1, opening up cap space, and then trading for Conley into the space they have under the cap...
...If they use Option No. 2 and go under the cap to get Conley, though, the room MLE is only $4.7 million.
My biggest question right now is - did we acquire any trade exceptions in this deal? If so, how big?
