Beasley isn't getting signed then. Thoughts on bringing him back?
How Much $$$ Should Jazz Throw at Austin Reaves?

Oh so I take it the Lakers org has their Cancun trip lined up already? As they should, but still, you love to see it.
I guess it depends on the price. I'm not all that high on him, there's a reason he's gotten so few minutes in the playoffs.
Would that push the Lakers into the Tax does anyone know?

In addition to Beasley the Lakers have Troy Brown Jr. doing serious pine in the playoffs. He was a first round pick the year Grayson Allen was drafted and has been traded a lot since then. I think either of these two could be decent pieces if the Jazz make a trade and need some competent spear carriers.

It definitely would. They have 90 million with Lebron, AD, and Vanderbilt tied up. The Salary cap is 134 million. They have 44 million before hitting the cap.
Wow ok if they don’t improve next year it could get expensive.
No one knows. The Lakers have a ton of room but I think they’re going to go shopping in free agency which I think is good news for suitors of Reaves as it means they will be more careful to preserve what cap space they can.
If they go out and use all of their available cap space on external free agents (I think they’re still going to go after Kyrie) then retaining Reaves and Hachimura probably puts them in the tax.
It’ll be interesting to see what they do. I think they should be able to SnT Reaves and the Jazz have the most desirable asset short of a legit star to do so. Clarkson is another piece to maybe work with here.
Man Reeves would be great on the Jazz.
We could just draft all wings & and push play with Lauri and Kessler straight away.
The Lakers arent going to let a white star go. That's a money printing machine. I'd just let someone else go through the effort of tying cap money up.

I think both Reaves and Rui would be good additions to the Jazz. So I would throw long-term contracts at both players. Worst case senario you force the Lakers to tie-up cap space for the long term (which should improve our Lakers-pick's value) and maybe you pick up a good young(ish) player.
Worst case is you miss out on someone you actually have a chance to sign
