NBA Free Agency Moves in General (related to the Jazz, but not just moves made by the Jazz)

I've heard a couple people mention the team options on the second year of these deals but haven't seen any proof. Aren't these contracts usually public info?

If Lindsey did get team options for all these contracts that would be awesome. It would give us a ton of flexibility in the future.

Locke has mentioned it several times. The first time it sounded like just speculation, but I think the fact that he's now repeated it multiple times is pretty good confirmation. Given his sources in/connection to the organization, I'd be surprised if they let him keep saying it if it weren't correct. I'd give it about a 80% chance of being true.

Spotrac is a good site for contract info.
A lot of the mid-tier vet contracts are 1+1's - not just for the Jazz. Depending on what happens with Favs, Hood, Exum (and Burks), the development of Bradley, etc., some or all of the FA's might be let go next summer.

Interesting video about the process of free agency from the point of view of a player who just got annihilated by Joe Ingles...

Basically, you ask your wife where she wants to live so you can ignore her and go somewhere else.

I just thought it was funny they had a segment of what his wife wanted then the next segment he says (paraphrasing) "It doesn't matter where she wants to live, but I feel bad she has to move a lot and basically be a single mom". Just made me lol

Hassle of moving, hassle of juggling priorities in FA(money, fit, wife and family, etc.). Clippers didn't even try to get him back... seems like it was between Philly and Houston, he waiting until the end for HOU to offer him long-term deal but they didn't... Wife wanted him to go to BKN... 1st, 2nd and 3d option - BKN, she said. And in the next clip he was like... yah, it sucks wifes are like single moms for 9 months of the year and you want to make it easier on them... but I picked Philly... lol.

Another thing - he confirms that "we will think about free agency after the end of the season" narrative is BS. Said those conversations are being held throughout the year with the agents. I'm listening to his podcast right now and he goes further and confirms that the back channel conversations with other teams happen before FA actually starts.

I like JJ... this stuff is cool and really honest. He still has to call Joe Ingles his daddy, but I do like him.

I checked that site, but wasn't able to find any info on team options. It does say that all contracts are guaranteed for the full amount though I'm not sure what that means necessarily.
