Jazz Free Agency Summer of 2018

If you would have actually read what I wrote you would have noticed I said in crunch time, like the last few minutes of a game. How many games did we finish with Gobert and Favors on the floor together the last two seasons? Very, very few. Last season Joe Johnson pretty much always finished games at the 4 and after the trade deadline this season it was Crowder closing out games at the 4. Quin rarely has Favors in the lineup to close out games.

That's clearly a rotation decision by QS. He alternates them a lot in the 4th to guarantee fresh legs. Besides, QS's jigsaw puzzle subbing in the 4th is outcoachong the other teams a lot and forcing them to play how Utah wants to. Plus plus, Favors' minutes don't have the ceiling Gobert's do. He needs more rest.

And finally, plus plus plus, go look at who kicked the shot out of OKC closing out games together, games that matter the most - Sir Rudy and Derrick.

No, for that abysmal attempt at a hair style by itself.

Lebron trolling Gilbert... Hey pick up Perk's option and I think we can make a trade that will make me stay... having to give money to Perk's dead body when he leaves will be another slap in the face.

Did he? Thank god. It was hideous. My 4 year old saw it one night and started laughing.

He did this offseason, but imagine if he did it in april and got hot for two weeks... max contract! I should have been an agent.

How can you say we are overreacting and not to panic and then list these as our options?

We’re trying to compete for a championship. This is not good enough.

But adding Favors to that list all of the sudden makes us a contender? That was the point I was trying to make. Those guys aren't perfect, but they will do the same job as with Favors.

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

New Orleans Pelicans
i

Offseason focus

  • The free-agent options for DeMarcus Cousins (short-term deal or sign-and-trade?)

  • Current roster + Cousins = Luxury-tax team

  • The free-agent priority of Rajon Rondo: Tax midlevel if Cousins returns
Exceptions

  • Non-tax midlevel: $8.6M

  • Bi-annual: $3.4M

  • Trade: $3.8M, $2.3M, $2.1M and $1.5M

  • *Cousins salary will impact what exception the Pelicans will have.
Cap-space breakdown

  • Bringing Cousins back on a max contract would leave New Orleans with a projected $132 million in salary -- $9 million over the tax threshold with a tax penalty of $14.5 million. That number will increase to $23.7 million if Rondo signs for the midlevel and the Pelicans could only offer second-round pick Tony Carr a two-year contract.

  • Letting Cousins go would keep the Pelicans under the tax but only with the $8.6 million midlevel and $3.4 million bi-annual exceptions to use.

  • The Pelicans do have four players -- Darius Miller, Emeka Okafor, Cheick Diallo and DeAndre Liggins -- with partial or non-guaranteed contracts. The $2.2 million Miller cap hit will have $300K protected if he is not waived by June 28 and it becomes fully guaranteed on July 24.
