Players that could be had for Memo TPE

Well then, is Igoudlaa for the TPE possible?

He makes more than the exception, so if those numbers have to matchup, then, no.

If it's somehow possible that we dump some more salary (ahem, Bell), and it's legal to take-on his salary that exceeds the exception, then it's possible. dunno.
 
Using a TPE on any of these guys makes no sense imo. We have too many bigs who need time. Ditto that sentiment with Burks and Hayward as well as Millsap a bit at the 3. The only position, right now, at which I'd like to see a change per se is at the point, but even then I'm being rash, like many others, basing my opinion on just two pre-season games. And picking up a pg for a TPE when we already have Harris, Watson and Tinsley seems a bit odd. That said, if Harris continues not to impress, I'd love to somehow dump him and go with the truer distributor in Watson. I just don't see it happening.
 
I don't know where I'm at with all of this, but the names are the guys eligible and something to chew on. Point guard is a significant concern of mine, personally. That applies to now and later.

But I think the chances the Jazz use it are well below 50%.

I know when you trade players it has to be within 50%, so if you trade a 10 million player you can get a 15 million. Don't know if that is the same with TPE?

When the Jazz did the trade for Jefferson, they used a TPE from the sign-and-trade with Boozer to Chicago, and also included Kosta Koufos, and maybe a 2nd-round pick, didn't they? If so, it would seem that a TPE can be used in combination with a player or a pick.

You can combine players, but the TPE doesn't get any bigger because you add players. Boozer's (first-year) salary (on his new contract) was bigger than Jefferson's, hence, they could absorb it. But again, the TPE didn't grow with the addition of Koufos (and certainly not with the addition of picks).

Would Andre Igoudala be able to be had for TPE + Bell or Miles? Not that I really want him, but he seems like a player that his current team wouldn't mind trading for less than his actual value to clear up space for Evan Turner.

The guy has a chronic arthritic condition in his knee that isn't going away and he's guaranteed for 3 years at a very high price. The Lakers can take that risk. We can't.

Unless something has changed, there's no flexibility in salary matching. The salary absorbed is either smaller than the TPE, or it's not absorbed.

In short, no (unless, again, something has changed).
 
I think the Jazz, with two picks in the next draft, are looking to increase their assets. A TPE, player swap and pick swap could be attractive to a number of teams. If the Jazz make a move, I assume it would be for a stud PG (if there is one) or a more consistent shooter.

There's one other possibility here--and that's involving Paul Millsap. I know he's supposedly injured, but I thought it was odd that he wasn't mentioned during the last game, and part of me is wondering if he's being held out to be involved in a trade. If I'm the Celtics or the Magic and I think I've got one more shot this year, I would talk to KOC about Millsap. However, I doubt Millsap would be moved unless there is something significant coming back.

Has anyone heard how long Millsap is expected to be out?
