How Much $$$ Should Jazz Throw at Austin Reaves?

I don't know the exact numbers, but I read that LAL can give him ~13M/year. A poison pill contract can due to the Gilbert Arenas provision go way above that, but not starting year one, and somewhere else I read the max anyone can give is ~4/98.
By my (probably faulty) calculations, that would end up being
23/24: 13.xM
24/25: 13.yM (+5% of year one)
25/26: 36M
26/27: 36M

Would take a little less than 25M in cap space to give the offer sheet. Not sure if he would count against the cap with 24M/year or those above numbers.

36M per is a bit hefty for Reaves...

Jazz would want it front loaded to make it scary for Lakers

They can't, since that would prevent the Lakers from matching. At least that's how I understand this Gilbert Arenas provision. We can't go over non-taxpayer MLE for the first two years.

Between these limitations and the ability to match…. There is no way this happens unless we talk them into a sign and trade. Simply giving them a worst case toxic contract will result in them gritting their teeth and just matching.

No, Lakers just can't offer him more than 12 a year. Other teams can do what they want and Lakers can match, I believe. But I'm CBA illiterate so idk.

They can’t front load it… it’s complicated and rare but we can only do so much. In the history of these types of offers they usually age poorly.

K, can't front load, but you can still offer him more than 12 to start

No you can’t. It’s 12 for the first two years then up to the max… cap hit is smoothed out over 4 years. For them the cap hit is 13,13, max max.

This dude has gone nuclear over these last few games. He really is fun to watch with how calm and deliberate he has been.

From HoopsHype:
The Arenas provision limits the first-year salary that rival suitors can offer restricted free agents who have only been in the league for one or two years. The starting salary for an offer sheet can’t exceed the amount of the non-taxpayer mid-level exception, which allows the player’s original team to use either the mid-level exception or the Early Bird exception to match it. Otherwise, a team without the necessary cap space would be powerless to keep its player, like the Warriors were with Arenas.
