[Jones]BREAKING: Jazz willing to engage Celtics in S&T talks: But Gordon Hayward must agree

make this ****ing happen already

My understanding with the new sign and trade rules is that you do have to still be under the cap. You need a team under the cap like how Atlanta was to make a trade work. But I also am seeing conflict reports. But sign and trades almost never happen now and that was one of the stated reasons.

Teams over the LT don't get to participate in sign-and-trades. Sign and trades exist largely to facilitate moves for one or more team over the cap.

I believe the rule is that the receiving team must be below the apron upon the completion of the trade. The apron this year I think is about 6 million over the LT.

I thought a S&T was "imminent". They could have said "eventual" so I can go get ready for work.

Hayward is on his way to Boston as is Ainge and Stevens. They can't make an announcement without trading some salary first. I think it gets done today.

I'm getting paid quite well at this very moment.

What's your vocation?

 

[Cappy_Smurf]

My point is the Jazz are going to be worse and have a worse record.

I don't think this is a given at all, considering the injury problems we had. Could be close to the same or even have a better record.

I'd imagine they'd want it done before they land. IF they are not already traveling with Hayward they will want everything to be good to go before they see him.

Hoping we can bring Jae-ZZ and his #99 to town.

I thought that nobody could officially sign anything (therefore announce anything) until tomorrow anyways. I bet it's all worked out by tomorrow. Really hoping to get Crowder. It's a step down from what Hayward does, but better than the other options the Jazz are currently looking at either.

 

[Jack Strop]

If they can get to a difference of $500k or less, maybe even $1m, I doubt Hayward objects. It will be close enough for him.

Spit balling here. Right now the Celtics are under the cap, right? They could absorb a contract like Faried and then send what they absorbed plus Crowder for Hayward.

I think the MLE has some value right now and the exception is cool to use for a year. Huge asset.

Yep. Both of those things give the Jazz room to upgrade the roster from where they're at right now.
