Can you give me a break down analysis of this please? I'm not sure I understand...
 
Really happy for Enes. He now has nothing left as an excuse as he always talked about how bad he felt about losing. He either starts winning now, if he can't, he should quit playing basketball.

Cap space has never been less valuable than it is right now.

The problem is that when the cap space goes up in another year, it goes up for everyone, so Jazz don't gain any advantage. Which means it is at a disadvantage, because now it has to compete with every other team, including the New York's LA's, Miami's etc. of the world for the same pool of talent. We aren't getting any big time FAs out of this.

My faith in DL has just dropped precipitously. He (they) must have concluded that Kanter just wasn't going to improve enough to be in their long-term plans, and so better get something (anything) for him now rather than nothing in RFA. I'm tired of banking my hopes on future draft picks. What are the odds that we get someone at, say, 15 that is better than Kanter? I can't help but feel that DL allowed the Jazz to get fleeced.
 
I feel like Detroit should have had to add some picks... don't tell me OKC got Detroit's pick.

The cap hold on Enes was 11M, the salary for Novak is 3.7M. So that frees up 15M for free agents. I will take a guess and say we can get something better for 15M than Enes!

To free Kanters cap space we just had to renounce his rights so that would have been no problem. I just dont like the 1st rounder is so far in the future. Hope this trade does not bite us.

What if we get hte 2017 lottery pick from the THunder instead?

Durant and Westbrook both bail on the team because the owners are cheap, they suck deck in 2017 and we get the 1st overall pick.



*LOCKE JUST ANNOUNCED WE GET THE THUNDER'S !ST ROUND PICK IN THE FUTURE, NOT DETROITS*

Yep, I made that point in the other thread. 2017 pick from Thunder might turn out to be great!

Yeah but who - Jazz have no one on the bench who can score. This move means more jump shots for Burke.
