Jazz get TPE for Boozer

[Jeditiger]

It's just a PR move to say he didn't let Boozer walk for nothing in return. Does anyone honestly think we'll use it? Of course, we won't use it under the guise of "we were aggressive but the deals fell through" rather than the true reason "we have no intention of using it".

A little butt-hurt that myth #2 didn't pan out for you?

I may be mistaken, but I believe the trade exception could be used for a player making up to the value of the TPE. I don't think there is a limitation on a lower priced player. In other words, I think the Jazz could use the trade exception from Boozer for a player making a much lower salary.

If not, then using both the Harp TPE and the Boozer TPE would put them well into LT territory again. I just don't see that happening at this point.

Not true. Look at as if the Jazz were trading Boozer's 13M contract for another player. They have to be with 25% of each other up or down.

I wonder if the Bulls made Boozer's deal a 6 year deal instead of 5 with it being a sign and trade.

If you want to consider packaging Boozer with a draft pick to get a TPE that we will let expire a viable sign-and-trade, then by all means believe so.

Sources now indicate that Lee to GS is indeed a S&T. Faulty sources have been forced out of my inner circle.

It's a protected 2nd round pick and I highly doubt we let such a valuable TPE simply expire after going through the trouble to get it.

Is Harrington under contract with NY or a free agent? As for his numbers, he averaged 17.7 ppg last yr, 20.6 the yr before. Thing is he's never been on a team where he actually had to play within a structured offense, but if he's actually willing to consider us than obviously he has to be aware of it, and Sloan is willing to take on that type of player. Hard to believe he's been in the league 11 yrs already. If for no other reason, it'd be entertaining, if we do sign him ,to keep count of how often carolinajazz calls him clown, hopper, knothead, or any other variation .

You're correct. Utah can use the Boozer trade exception to take back a player making 1 million if they wanted to. I also don't think Utah would just use the 13 million in cap space unless it was a player they really wanted, but it does give them a ton of flexibility in future dealings because they can act like a team 13 million under when making deals.

This sentence doesn't quite make sense, but I think what he's tryin to say, Jed, is that he is Nostradamus. He's knows the future, you don't, so he's right, you're wrong. Sumthin like that, I figure.

We would have to think about this logically: Who are we going to obtain? A TPE of that size could only be used for a team trying to unload someone they don't want. If the other team doesn't like their salary, what are the odds we would? Let's talk names.
