Actually twice. They had cap space in 2003, also. That's the summer they signed Maggette and Jason Terry to offer sheets that were matched. I doubt there were too many tears shed by the front office when the offers were matched.
Interesting trade idea from Locke

I had to go digging? Google "define marginal" and look what comes up.
yeah, well, i said "recent memory". ;-)

This is the reason the Jazz have never and are unlikely to ever win a title. You don't build the base of a championship through FA's. You do it through the draft with high draft picks.
and then re-sign Boozer? i guess that might work. assuming the sixers gift us the 2nd pick in the deal:
Deron/Price
CJ/Turner
Iguodala/Turner
Boozer/Millsap
Memo/Koufos
or, if Boozer leaves (of course, that won't be certain till after the draft):
Deron/Price
CJ
Iguodala
Millsap/Cousins-Favors
Memo/Koufos/Cousins-Favors
I tried it three different ways and didn't come up with what you cited.

Not sure what you think I'm supposed to be seeing.
But if I google your definition I get ... this thread as the #1 hit.

In any event, it's still pretty clear from my post that I didn't mean marginal to denote minimal.
whatever. once all the recent champions locked in their one high draft pick guy, they filled in with FAs/trades and lucky low picks:
Lakers: Kobe + FAs/trades (Gasol, Odom, Artest/Ariza) + lucky low picks (Bynum)
Celtics: Pierce + FAs/trades (Garnett, Allen) + lucky low picks (Perkins, Rondo)
Spurs: Duncan + lucky low picks (Parker, Ginobili)
if Deron is our one high-pick guy, then KOC better figure out the FAs/trades and lucky low picks part of it (ie, draft a Bynum with this year's pick).
That completely removes the reason the Sixers would want to do the deal though. If they traded their best player and the #2 pick for AK and the #9 Philly fans would throw batteries at their home opener.

Seriously dude, isn't your time worth more than this? "Nothing to see here people. Just move along."

One interesting (I think) note:
It seems fairly likely that there will be major changes to the NBA CBA after this coming season (and, perhaps, a lockout). A lower cap/LT (and shorter guaranteed contracts) seem to be the most likely changes. If so, and because many contracts will already be in place, I would think there's a fairly good chance teams will get another chance at amnesty from a contract (like the Allan Houston provision). With this in mind (especially in the case there's a lockout), taking on a single long-term contract to move into the top 3 (Favors), or even to #4 (Cousins), looks even more attractive. Depending on what else the Jazz have to give up, taking on a "toxic" contract is probably worth it.

no, they would remember how great all those other players they got from the Jazz were: Jeff Malone, Giricek, "the right to swap 2nd round draft picks", Nazr Mohammed, etc.
Pretty certain that Bynum was a Top 10 pick. Wouldn't call that "lucky low pick".

Looks like the Philly fans are not interested in this trade at all. They are even laughing at the idea of it. I guess they really like Elton Brand.

That's the only thing I've ever wanted to hear my whole life! How did you know?!
cause, it like...takes one to know one er sumthin?
That's an interesting idea, but the proposal I've heard discussed more seriously is reducing player's contracts to meet the new CBA (e.g. if BRI share fell from 60% to 40% then player contracts would be reduced by 1/3rd). That proposal isn't nearly as sweet because it merely makes sure that you don't get super-penalized for having a currently bad contract. The current penalty, however, is preserved. Have you seen anything indicating that they will consider another Allan Houston like rule?
how would a new Allan Houston rule help the Jazz? under that rule, the contract still had to be paid in full, it just didn't count against the cap (and the team had to fire the player). do you really think the Millers could afford something like that?
