I hadn't thought of it until reading the last few posts, but the hidden cost of the Memo deal is that KOC sacrificed the offseason FA. That sounds worse than it is. It wasn't actually a sacrifice since the Jazz only have 8 players committed in 2012 for about 49. It means that next offseason he already knows he'd rather just work with his MLE and whatever that new version of the Bi-annual is once the rookie salary(s) are folded in. It also gives him room to extend CJ/Evans/Howard in whatever combo.
With Harris/Sap/Jefferson on the books through 2013, though, we can't be big players in FA, anyway. So KOC has two intriguing possibilities: 1) A team this year desperately wants the cap space for the offseason and finds a way to get us picks/players for the 10 mil; 2) If this year doesn't work out, a team next year does the same for whatever the 2013 crop is. Most significantly, if KOC just lets it expire, he gets Memo's 10 mil in addition to Al/Sap/Harris coming off the books in 2013.
In other words, KOC has created a wealth of options for himself.
