What's new

Jazz acquire NAW and Juancho Hernangomez for Ingles, Hughes, and two 2nd round picks.

Are they under the salary cap?

If they don’t have a roster that can compete for the championship, they need to get under the cap and avoid the repeater tax.
 
My Pelicans fan mate says he's a deeply frustrating player who can go off for 20 points only to serve up TOs that would make Westbrook proud. Also, that he has all the tools, but not the head.
 
My 2 cents: I don't know much about NAW but I remember him being hyped out of college. I saw one game and he was horrible and another where he looked pretty good. I just don't see the need for another guard. We have Forrest who has showed some improvement. We have JB who needs developing and now you bring in another guard who has played badly this year. I always laugh when the organization talks about developing guys but who have they really developed. What I have observed is that the Jazz seem to be stuck in the mindset to bring in older players past their primes and sit the young developing guys which has been very frustrating to watch. I hope NAW surprises me and can help the team. I hope they sign House too. Move JC to get another defensive SF.

The Jazz have gotten as much value out of homegrown and developed talent than just about any team in the league.
 
Do you have a link or a direction to point me? I can google it myself if I a little direction. It really doesn't make sense to me at this point and I'd like to find out why.
I think maybe this at least happens if we use the TPE on Hernangomez (but I don't know why we would do that, is that to free up another TPE?):
Teams can send out more than one player in the same simultaneous trade, "aggregating" their salaries in order to acquire a replacement player with a higher salary than can be acquired by trading any outgoing player alone. For example, since the most a taxpaying team can receive for a $10 million player is $12.6 million, it cannot trade its $10 million player for another team's $15 million player. However, it can aggregate the salary of its $10 million player with that of another player making $2 million. With the combined $12 million in outgoing salaries the team can receive up to $15.1 million in return, which lets them trade for the $15 million player. An aggregated trade must be simultaneous -- aggregated non-simultaneous trades are not allowed. Also, if a team used an exception to acquire a player (which means it acquired the player by any means other than using cap room), it cannot include that player in an aggregated trade for two months.6

Juancho can be traded but he can’t get aggregated. So you can’t trade Juancho+Clarkson for example. We could try to rope any future trade in with the one that has been agreed upon.

TPE is useless because we won’t use it. This is a money trade, we will not spend more money and use the TPE.
