Jazz Free Agency Summer of 2018

So if we were to renounce Favors and make a big trade with Burks and cap space that puts us slightly over the cap, we simply can't spend any more money?

That doesn't seem right. It would seem to me that the trade puts us over the cap apron which then makes the exceptions more available.

Someone please clarify.

No but you get the the room mid level which is less and minimums... otherwise every team would try to have their cake and eat it too.

The MLE and BAE are for teams operating over the cap. It isn’t that hard.
 
Thing to watch... if Bjelica does not get his qualifying offer. If so I think we sign him with part of MLE for a year with a team option. Being unrestricted will Make it easier for us to structure something good for both parties.
 
“I’m just trying to find the right situation that makes sense for me as a player. Be in the right spot. Get a chance to showcase my talent. Get a chance to showcase what I can do."

I think he is gone. He has said and done all the right stuff until now, but I think he wants a chance to be featured more. If he stays here, he will get shoved more and more into the background. So many here are talking about his value as Gobert's insurance as much as his value as a starter. He is the 5th most important starter here. He wouldn't be that at most other teams.

Go get George Hill.

Atl takes Burks, Jonas and Epke, 2 losely protected firsts, and 2 seconds from Utah.
Utah gets Hill.
CLE sheds $19 million in salary plus an assload in LT relief, and a valuable TPE to help retain LBJ.

ATL can waive the two between the 6th and 8th of July. Burks is a tradable expiring. Atl is getting the same deal utah got in the Boedrins, Rush, Jefferson trade but on much better financial terms. Plus, they could possibly parlay those players into more picks.

Hill would be a perfect backup 1 and combo 2. He's shot over 40% from downtown several seasons and knows how to get to the line. If he doesn't work out, his next season is only 1 million guaranteed.

P.s. don't listen to ESPN trade machine. This works.
 
Thinking of Dante Exum....

I heard/read that Milwaukee is trying to move off of Bledsoe because Gianiss doesn't like him. And Phoenix is going to renounce all their pgs and they are looking for a pg and back-ups.

Which makes for many questions. Would Phoenix take Isaiah Thomas back? Would he go back? Bledsoe burned his bridges on his way out of Phoenix will anyone trade with Milwaukee?
 
The Bucks would be wise to trade Bledsoe and Dellie to the Cavs for George Hill.

Bucks shed Bledsoe and Dellie's $9 million for 2019. Cavs get a better PG and their boy Dellie back.

Unless something unexpected happens and one of the big name guys want to come to Utah, I think the Jazz simply tweak this offseason. It sounds to me like they believe if Dante and Favs come back they are a 55-58 win team and they keep saying both publicly and through folks like Tony J that they want them both back. I also think they believe that Thabo could be very valuable as a stretch 4 in some lineups and that he combined with Crowd could really help. If the right MLE type player is available they may get rid of the end of the bench guys but they are simply going to dabble on the edges. Pretty obvious I guess.

It mentioned that the Pelicans might have to waive Darius Miller would be an awesome pick up to replace Thabo. The dude is a 41% 3pt shooter.

No way they do that... I'd pick him up in one damn second.

Whatever happens with Favs I will cheer his *** off for his entire career... Can't say enough about how classy he has been.
