Does this make it more likely the Wolves match Bjelica if another team extends an offer?

Probably.

No... it was always the play they were going to make... of belly gets 6M-7M they are in the tax to match.

Stopped through Vegas and had to make a quick stop for this before PG signs here.

According to Pelton, last summer 1 WAR cost $2.8M. This year 1 WAR projects to cost between $1.15-$1.75M on the free agent market. The Jazz should really be looking to add one or two quality players for a couple years w/the midlevel this summer.

Harris/Middleton/Klay are all good players, but none of them is likely to be worth the $25-$30M it will cost to be the high-bidder for their services in 2019.

Totally against what I said earlier:

Is my math off or could we sign both Kemba and Tobias next offseason?

-Kemba/Exum (maybe we couldn’t if we sign Dante...)
-DM, Grayson
-Ingles, Royce
-Tobias, Jae
-Rudy, Bradley

I’m going off the idea that the cap will rise to $108m next year, BTW.

Likely need to move crowder for both... I do expect Kemba gets max... so prolly not.

Might be able to trade for him in season... more doable that way.

I like Kemba, but no thanks. He has a couple more years before he has a sharp decline.

Klay isn't worth the max?????????????????????????????????????????????

I'll 100% guarantee that Klay gets a max offer (unless takes a discount from the warriors).

 

[Deron Williams]

538 projects Klay for fewer WAR than Joe Ingles this upcoming season. Klay will also be 29 at the start of what would be his first year on the max contract, 30 y/o by the time the playoffs begin.

I like Klay, but giving a max deal to a 29/30 y/o guy who is good, but not great, is typically a bad bet.

 

[Jack Strop]

If the W's don't give Klay the max and he signs an offer somewhere else, it won't be Utah. I guarantee it.

 

[The Midnight]

Well he did sign a shoe deal with a less known Chinese shoe company.
