Not sure one leads to the other... this is clearly us trying to duck the tax. Not sure how far we are away but I don't think this alone does it. I guess if it leads to us avoiding the repeater tax in two years then there is correlation.I think this is a signal that the Jazz are going to re-sign Conley more than anything else. Shaq was Oni insurance and Oni passed the test.
I am obviously a little bummed it didn't work out and that he didn't get a chance. I have no doubt someone picks him up. He was only going to get a shot if we had an injury or two and we have been really healthy.
If we did this and we don't get under the tax then this is stupid AF. The numbers get pretty tricky... had we saved a $1M on the Favs deal I think we'd be there.
