Next Year's Cap Projected Downward

Hopefully it means that frugal teams like the Jazz are ahead of the curve. Still wish they'd have been projecting some of this stuff earlier and had extended Hayward for 5 years and also gotten guys on cheap contracts while they had a chance.

link?

Who is clearly worse than them right now? And, wtf do you think Deng and Mozvog are going to move them far?

Also, explain your general retardation, pls.

Deng/Mozgov won't move them far, but they will win them more games. They have a coach who isn't Byron Scott and they won't be playing Kobe Bryant. If they were trying to get a guaranteed selection in the draft they woudn't have signed those players.

Google it for yourself. They had to finish in the bottom 3 of the lottery this past year to retain the pick, the protection just moved down another year to 2017. If the Lakers keep the pick again it will be a non-protected pick in 2018.

Last year's offseason remains a blemish on the record (I won't mention the whiffs on Kanter and Burke because everybody misses on draft picks). If y'all are reading any sports beside what you see on JFC, then you'd know that every single capologist is lauding contracts signed in the past two offseasons. And the jazz had an advantage as a buyer in both markets.

This offseason has been savvy as hell, but why do we have to go all fanboy about the entire rebuild? Teams are better with smarter fans.

This is built on the false premise that 'fanboy" excludes you from being a mart fan. Sometimes they absolutely overlap.

This offseason is being lauded because it deserves to be. Just like last offseason is criticized because it deserves to be.

I know what the ****ing protection is. And I know they'll be slightly better. And I noticed you didn't answer the question about who is slightly worse.

How do you manage to say so much, but also say nothing? Is this what they teach you to do in the food delivery service industry?

I am a mart fan. Which is why I knew the jazz needed to go to the mart and buy some players.

repped.
 
The Jazz approach this offseason has been great. Some of these contracts have been horrible and hopefully the lower cap number reduces the suitors for G-Time.

Next year we likely choose between Burks and Hill. Doubt we can resign everyone, renegotiate Favs, and keep Burks. Think he is moved around the draft or beginning of FA next year.

That's why the Jazz havent won a championship yet, none of us are as smart as NAOS. If we all just got as smart as NAOS, the Jazz would improve exponentially.

finally, an honest voice from you. An absolutely defeated voice.

The problem you have is that if YOU are aware of this fact, every agent worth his salt was aware of it as well. That is why you saw the glut of 3 year contracts like Hayward signed. In fact, I almost would have been wary of the players that signed a four or five year contract knowing what was going to happen with the salary cap (Enes Kanter, cough, cough.) That sounds like someone who isn't convinced they will be on top of their game once the bank vault is busted open. It isn't an accident that next year is an incredibly lucrative free agent market. If all of those guys get signed to deals like what happened this year, that projected salary cap is going to shrink substantially.

You clearly did not know the protection. If you read my entire post you would have seen I addressed your question.

Hayward's agent saw it coming... I assume we did too right?
