Hardship Exception

[Handlogten's Heros]

Jazz are applying for a hardship exception I believe we get an extra roster spot, if granted, after looking at the internet.

Rumor has it we are bringing back JL3 or Jimmer to help tank... stay tuned.

I bet you people would be more open to playing Jimmer over Rubio right now

Jimmer's averaging almost 38 PPG in China this season. 1.8 million to boot.

There's more than a handful of former NBA players playing in China: Sullinger, Lawson, Weems, Hickson, Jennings, Scola, Landry, Stokes, Hansbrough, Bass, Motiejunas, Marbury and others, including the very cool Mike Harris.

Jimmer put up a 12.6 PER in his much-travelled NBA career. Rubio is giving us a 12.1 currently. His shooting numbers this season are not that much different than his career numbers. It is just everything else that is way down. He has been nothing short of a massive disappointment
here.

I though Spida was our hardship exception.

Did we get a hardship exception for Exum?

Are they applying for a hardship exemption or a disabled player exemption (more likely). IIRC, the hardship rule requires the team to have four or more players injured for 2 plus games. The exception only lasts until one player comes back from injury.

The DPE creates a roster spot around $8.5M or half of the injured players salary, whichever is less, and keeps an additional roster spot open for the season. I'm guessing they applied for a DPE for Thabo. The fact that they didn't do this earlier tells me that Dante will likely be back this season.

Jones said hardship exception. Does the DPE create a roster spot? I thought it just gave a cap exemption.

Whatever it is if we don’t qualify then no one should.

No, they never filed for one. This has been one of the bases for speculating the team expects to bring him back.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Getting hardship exception would be good to open up a roster spot for a trade... Say Cleveland sends Osman and Frye back for Favs... we would have to release someone when the player is healthy... I'm not sure if we would have to release someone when Rudy gets back, but I'd guess Joe Jesus gets released if not traded.

Did we get a hardship exception for Exum?

No, the hardship exception is given to teams with multiple injured players at the same time(I think it was 3 or 4, not sure). At the time Exum got injured we only had him injured. Right now we have Gobert, Exum, Thabo + probably someone else out so we are applying for it. The best thing about this one is that we get an additional roster slot if the league approves the exception.

I believe you have to release the player or a player once a guy comes back too... would be an interesting reason to keep Gobert sidelined an extra week or two.

Tankship exemption.

I believe AKs Wife also gave him one of these each year.

It might be for trade purposes. (So we can take on two contracts while sending out one for example)

Exactly, but when Rudy comes back or if Dante came back I think you have to cut back down to 15. Likely JJ would be cut, so he can sign with a contender, but they would want to wait post Feb 8 just in case his salary is needed in a trade. So we would hold Rudy out until ready to make a decision on JJ.

I think could see a Favs to Cle for Shump, Osman, and their first. I don't know if they would do Frye in Shump's place which would be ideal... I think they would make us eat the Shump salary.

Would be a great tank move... throw Osman out there and figure out if you have anything there. Lose in the process...


TANK SZN!

jimmer might seriously be better than rubio ...LMAO

I could be wrong, but if you are at the roster cap and you’re having to waive a player (hypothetically we trade Favors for Shumpert and Crowder), I don’t believe you can waive the incoming player, so you waive a Royce O’Neale or whoever to accommodate Shumpert. I think this would give us a loophole where we accept an extra player and can then waive/buyout one of them (a Shumpert, for example) at a later date without having to waive an O’Neale.

Would be another option. I wouldn’t waive Shumpert though because of the extra year... unless he took way less cash... maybe he would be dumb enough to waive his player option.
