Roster Building From Here - FA and Summer of 2023

[Handlogten's Heros]

With all the Dame noise I wonder if Grant bounces... unless Porty wins the lotto I think they will tell Dame they are rebuilding and move him... he can stay on brand and they can move on.

Grant would be a nice addition... obviously may not love the idea of Utah and there would be many suitors, but we could get in that convo I'd bet.

Lmao at the idea that Sexton can't be a headliner in a deal for a star. Our two player headliners from the Gobert/Mitchell trade where Malik Beasley and Lauri Markkanen (before y'all knew he was elite).

Star packages aren't headlined by players anymore. They are headlined by insane draft capital. Teams trading for stars want to be good, not give up their main rotation pieces, so they compensate by adding in some value contracts and a lot of draft capital.

And teams trading out their franchise player usually rebuild anyway, and being good doesn’t necessarily aid that either.

I'm resigned that Ochai is the centerpiece with some draft capital when we trade for a star. He's really good for a young star but not untradable good like Kessler.

Unless we can talk them into Sexton, THT and/or Olynyk I think you’re probably right.

Salary-matching is certainly an issue.

It actually won’t be a problem for us.

If the Jazz want to trade Sexton/THT/JC (SnT), the Jazz need to salary match if the other team is over the cap (most are).

We have cap space though… so don’t have to match.

Exactly. I bet a team would like just pure cap relief over taking guys like THT or Olynyk back.

We can’t just send Sexton/whatever to a team over the cap without taking on a largish contract. The accepting team has to match the incoming salary if they are over the cap or don’t have a sufficiently large TPE (most don’t).

Did the CBA change last night?

We can take back more salary than we send out… as long as we are under the cap… they can’t take sexton without sending someone back though… unless they are under the cap. I would assume a star would have a larger salary than Collin.

I’m talking about trading up in the draft.

EDIT: I thought we were talking about trading up in the draft but the original thought was about a star and I missed that. SO, my point still stands about the draft, it for sure doesn’t matter if it’s for a star.
