Official Offseason Rumors Thread

I saw Tyrell Corbin was invited to participate in teh Jazz FA mini Camp. It caused me to wonder whatever happened to Tyrone. If he doesn't land in New York with Jeff Hornacek , I hope the Jazz bring him back as a scout. After all he hlped scout out Kanter, Burks and Burke.

Reminder: Rookie-scale deals won’t increase with the rising cap. Those numbers were agreed upon in 2011 CBA. Rookies will be great bargains. Many around NBA expect a significant amount of trades during the 2016 NBA Draft. That’s what happens when so many teams have multiple picks.

They said the same last year but there were very few trades. However, I think it could be crazy this year because Boston and Philly have both grown tired of rebuilding and each wants to take a step forward--not add 5 rookies.

I also read speculation that many players could be moved on draft night from teams looking to free up cap space to teams that have extra space, but are not likely to land big FA (Utah?). The expanding salary cap could create a frenzy.

From Jazz PR: Jazz G Alec Burks underwent successful arthroscopic surgery TUE to clean out debris from his L knee/ankle.

Is this the one Pierce injured?

I have a sneaky suspicion that Alec's time with the Jazz is short.
 
Here you go, just for the heck of it a random tweet.

Literally zero chance of this happening.

Does Marcus Smart suck so bad that they'd rather trade him for a guy that played pretty poorly for one season, tore his ACL and missed his entire second season, AND throw in a pick? I don't really follow hoops like I used to, apparently.
 
Too close to the draft, all the GM's are lying now. Before they decide on their plan the GM's tell the beat writers and talking heads some truth. As the draft draws nearer the truth is harder to find as the GM's try to keep their plan a secret, or gain an advantage.

Exum for Smart? Hayward to Lakers? Jazz trading out? It's all just drama.
 
Alex Kennedy:NBA projects 2016-17 cap is $92 million, with luxury tax threshold of $111 million. Salary floor (minimum team must spend) is $82.8 million.

Forget the draft, this is what the off-season is all about.

Jazz have to add 25.8 million in salary just to reach the minimum salary. They can spend 35 million and still be under the cap. There are 10 teams with more cap space avaialb ethan the Jazz.
Team 2016-17 committed salary
20. Utah $57,016,455
21. Portland $54,418,737
22. Atlanta $52,426,293
23. Memphis $49,765,488
24. Miami $48,008,675
25. Washington $45,557,059

We will use $10m or so of that to extend favors. And I expect us to offer a free agent a two year $30M deal with second year unguaranteed. Will be a one year overpay for someone.

Or we trade for a guy like Rudy Gay that has a short contract.

Basically pretty meh.

Rudy gay added to this team would be lots better than meh.

Barring any other trades, the jazz would be deep. Hood and Burks would come off the bench with lyles and mack. That's a damn good bench unit. If our number 12 pick is good, we could move way up in the playoff seeding.
