Rumor: Warriors have interest in trading for Ingles if made available by the jazz.

Jingles will be 34 this fall. He’s not THAT old. You’d think he’d have another good year or two left before retiring. Right?

Yes and no. He is a real one and there’s more than a little evidence that he is eager to return to Australia. I could see him playing in the NBL just cuz he wants to.

If you can dump Bogey for Moody and Paschall, that might get the Jazz close to the tax line.

Anyone know if that would make the Favors TPE accessible or is that just gone gone now?

That would be my choice.

The question is if Oubre signed a deal big enough to absorb Bogey.

He would have to be at minimum around 9.5M a year to make it work.

He would have to be at minimum 11.9M a year to make it work.

For Bogey? It’d have to be around $20 million per year at the start since Bogey makes around that.

We’re taking Moody and Paschall back my man.

The idea was Oubre, Paschall and Moody (and/or also Looney), was it not?

I will do some number crunching and get back to you.

Jazz can't get under the tax line with Gay. Favors TPE is available to use, but up to Ryan's tolerance to pay.

With Conley, Gay, Butler and minimum salaries to fill out the roster I think we end up around 14-15M over the luxury tax.

If we traded Bogey and took back Moody and Paschall that would save us 13.4M in salary.

Which would then put us 1-2M over the tax which is 2M or so under the apron.

We could then use the Favors TPE and take in someone making 2M or so and only be 4M over the tax.

We can’t use the Favors TPE unless we get under the apron which is 140.6M. We are currently sitting at around 9-10M over the apron.

TPE does not trigger the apron unless you're planning on using to receive a S&T player.

So we gotta talk about how the path to the finals is actually still pretty open:

-The Lakers for all their star power are set to have the oldest team in history with very little spacing. I think they’re worse than last year.
-Kawhi is probably out for the year
-Murray might be out for the year
-Phoenix didn’t get any better, did they?
-Warriors are at least a piece away (very relevant to this discussion)

You trade Joe this year and you might be trading a ring. The roster has never been so legit.

It should be no mystery that GSW would consider sending such a haul for as perfect a piece as Joe.

Agreed and the warriors are the team that scares me the most next year.
Having said that, I would do the trade. Reluctantly. And I would worry that I made a mistake.
