Jazz and Knicks discussing Donovan Mitchell trade per Shams Charania and Tony Jones

[Handlogten's Heros]

Yeah, I've thought about this as well. I'm not as informed about the cap jump, but if you can lock in a quality piece for a good future value, while giving him super freedom to develop, that's something to consider.

I think with Herro and Barrett you would also be able to get away with giving them a contract that starts at the max and declines.

I think you could give Herro the same deal as Simons 4/100. I would be surprised if they agreed to a declining contract. Maybe at best a slowing increasing one.

Why? 4/100 is still 4/100... they get more money up front. I'd take it out to 5/136M. 8% declines means he makes 27/24.5/22 in the final 3 years of the deal.

I guess so. Why don’t more teams do it if it was that easy?

Jazz ranked 29 out of 30...the only team they have ranked worse is the Spurs. The tank is on.

29. Jazz (49-33). Rudy Gobert is gone, Donovan Mitchell trade talks stalled out but will eventually get done, and the Jazz are tearing it down to the studs for a Danny Ainge rebuild. Expect more moves with every veteran on the roster — Mike Conley, Patrick Beverley and others — all available. Utah’s biggest asset in all the moves likely is its own pick for 2023, which could well be top five in a draft with several franchise players at the top of the board.

You act like we have been having him play table tennis instead of basketball. We know what we have....

Now we don't and no I didn't.

In my opinion, the best we looked the entire postseason was when we went small with Paschall at center that one time. And he's not even that good. We played what every contender is succeeding with in the postseason - not all small ball 5 out but some integrated in.

Quin didn't do it. Wasted Paschall and Rudy Gay development potential.

Eric Paschall was so good that NBA teams are all dying to sign him.... Oh wait.

Yep.

The fact the best we looked all postseason featured him at center and Rudy not playing doesn't bode well for any of your arguments.

Don looked like a superstar and the team looked dangerous on both ends.

Did you start smoking crack during your ban?

Knicks fans want him because he is best friends with Donovan and played with Brunson. He’s a locker room guy lmao.

The opportunity cost of present value vs future value: you forego opportunities in the present by paying more for a contract now.

There are limited opportunities to do such a thing, also. A team might not be able to start a contract at the higher number at the time they issue it either because of room or rule.

Usually it won't happen with no question max dudes. Barrett and Herro aren't that. Teams have descending contracts all the time as long as they have the space to do it, which some don't.
