Jazz Free Agency Summer of 2018

[MDAV28]

I may have missed something but don't the Jazz have like a couple hours to decide on Thabo?

LeBron didnt go to LA to wait until next year. They will pull the bandaid and dump Deng's contract asap.

You didn’t miss anything. 10 PM MST is Thabo’s deadline.

Yup, no decision is the same as guaranteeing the contract.

But wait until after December and Utah could send Burks, Thabo and Jerebko (or Udoh) + their 2019 first. That gets Cleveland out from under an additional year of Love's salary.

Just wondering, why december? They beauty of trading those contracts now is that the team that trades for them can just waive the players right away. the team can create more cap space or get out of the luxury tax. Thus, a contract like Thabo's could save a team 10M in luxury tax (or even more). They are worth more now.

Yup

So fire sale coming from the Cavs now? Love becomes available despite the Cavs front office saying otherwise? DL might be working on trades involving Thabo's contract now. It's suspiciously quiet on our front

David Griffin has been on NBAtv advocating it makes sense for them to compete next year, still having KLove and the overall weakness of the east.

No you can't trade those contracts without guaranteeing them first.

You could have BEFORE yesterday.

Nope doesn’t work that way anymore... the new cba killed that.

It's really a bummer. Those would be like gold in this offseason.

I cant believe some of you actually want Kevin Love. That's worse than my Kuzma dream garbage.

Aaron Gordon just signed a bargain deal

Smokescreen to get fair value for their players? They are stuck in mud. They won't get past the first round, even in the crappy east.

Thanks for clarifying that. That's really a bummer

21m per is a bargain deal?

Indeed

Thanks, didn't know that.

$21 a year for Gordon. I have a bad feeling we are going to have $17 or $18 for Favors and Thabo by the end of the night.

I mean he's the former GM, not current, so it may be a sincere thought.

There's a reason Gordon got $21 instead of $26, because the market is tight. I wouldn't be worried about overpaying this offseason.

 

[TheStormofWar]

Thabo has to be busting an ulcer right now.

Yup, I was thinking what the Cavs front office has been saying for weeks: no teardown if LBJ leaves.

I disagree with DG. The Cavs are stuck in mediocrity.
