Players that could be had for Memo TPE

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?

Nope - the incoming player(s) salary have to fit within the TPE.

[Edit: should've read the whole thread before replying, this has been said several times already]

That would be crazy if we could get Rondo for a TPE. We would almost certainly have to trade Harris off to someone then.

A warm spot in the West would someone like Houston, San Antonio, Phoenix, Lakers, Clippers, Hornets, and Grizzlies. Don't think SLC qualifies as war

Well we haven't heard the Cavs owner wine in a week for two.

Rondo for the trade exception might be enough to set him off forcing Stern to stop the trade causing WW3. on Jazzfanz... LOL

He wouldn't waste his time. His thought would be, "Its only the Jazz."
 
More likely (less unlikely) would be a trade of Harris for Rondo than TPE for Rondo. It would make the Jazz tons better but would put the Jazz squarely back in LT territory.

More appropriate would be lists of any of the following:
1. Players of value who can be had for <4 million (the Jazz's current cushion under the luxury tax).
2. Players of value who will be available for up to $10.5 million at the end of this season

Agree. The financial implications of "going shopping" and using the TPE this season are enormous. If jazz get themselves back into luxury tax territory again, they not only pay the $ for $ penalty, but they miss out on the $ reward for being under. Of course, if a deal is sweet enough, I think Greg and KOC would jump on it. Maybe we do get a high pick for helping a team shed salary. Wasn't it Houston that got a ton of picks from NY for giving them an expiring (thus allowing the Knicks to go FA shopping and land Amare)? Or perhaps it's a trade involving us getting a great player AND taking on a bad contract in exchange for say Millsap + the TPE. What I'd love to see happen is the Jazz use some of the TPE to take on a solid vet and then swap picks in the draft to move up into the top-3 (provided their pick isn't in that range already).

What I do know is that we'll likely hear nothing until it happens. It's just amazing how KOC is able to keep deals so quiet when so many other organizations have huge leaks and rumors start flying days or even weeks before a deal eventually goes down.

We're now like 14 million under the LT. We're not going over no matter what happens.
