Dats gonna be a big bill doe... Ryan can make more friends.

We shall see. The wording is a little unclear on the repeater tax....but I think the Jazz would still avoid the repeater tax if Conley signs a two year deal. That would be three years in a row (including this season), but the wording in the cbafaq says it does not count the most recent season.

Conley would expire at the same time as Bogey, and Ingles would theoretically be on a smaller contract because he expires a year before.

Still, normal tax penalties are not a joke. $20M over the tax costs $45M. Gets worse the more you go over, and the repeater taxes are much worse. But right now I get the vibe that Ryan Smith is prepared to pay for at least 2-3 seasons. He has to know what he’s getting into with all these new contracts.

Conley at 10m would have a net cost over 30M.... goes up quite a bit from there. If we make WCF and Mike is an important part of that then maybe we bring him back.

When we make WCF because we have RHJ, do we sign him to MLE next year or BAE?

RHJ FTW! Sign him now, WTF? Gonna have to LOL at DL following steps of KOC.
 
I mean at this point you just have to throw Niang in there because there apparently isn't anything he can't do. . .
 
Bringing this thread back now that free agency is just under 3 weeks away and we're all anxiously awaiting Conley's decision. I thought it was really strange when this thread was first created how many votes Hughes and Oni got. Surely no one still believes one of those two will be starting in the backcourt next to Donovan next season, right?
 
It’s Mike or Joe
