Where does Kawhi go this year?

Wow...and we'd have to know by tonight if the deal is going to be made, unless Derrick agrees to delay his guarantee deadline. Or the Jazz could just waive him now. Would cost a couple of late 2nd's, but Jazz could just buy into the 2nd round in those drafts if they want to. I might tell NO we're just going to waive him - or reach out to another team if there was one. Can't afford to risk losing Bojan due to Kawhi. And if Utah does guarantee Derrick and something happens with the AD deal, Jazz are stuck.

The Lakers can’t complete the AD trade because they wouldn’t have enough cap space to offer a max, so they’ve delayed completing that. Because of that, our deal of sending Favors to New Orleans is on hold until that trade goes through. As such, Favors is current occupying our cap space that we’ll sign Bojan with.

Wait. If I recall we have till the 6th to drop the contract, and if not he’s ours for a year, but if push comes to shove, we can just skip the trade and drop the contract, right?

Not sure why he’d do that because it means that we want that flexibility so we can waive him. No incentive for him to do it.

We could, but that’s not how we operate, nor should we, but it does make me a little nervous.

Depends on whether or not he wants to go to New Orleans. Because if we waive him, any team can claim him. Maybe he'd prefer to go elsewhere. And in that case, he'd just want the guarantee tomorrow. But he has $17M reasons to accept a delay rather than be waived. Maybe no one offers him $17M and he has to sign somewhere for the MLE, or a portion of it.

Lol that’s not the way we operate?? This is a business jazz need to worry about the jazz not NO. Not sure I see the ethical problem you speak of.

The ethical problem is relating to Favors and not NOP. If it was just NOP then I’d agree, but they’re basically pulling Favors off the market as of Sunday because the trade, only to waive him after the cash dries up.

So, if he doesn’t decide by 12 eastern we are ****ed?

No. The Lakers are just holding back the AD trade so they have enough cap space to sign Kawhi. Once he makes his decision, regardless of where he chooses, they can then complete the AD trade.
