Should we give Jeremy Evans a huge deal this summer?

It actually increased from 53% to 55% last season. But he's mostly a dunker/garbage point scorer so it doesn't mean a lot to me. He shot well his first few seasons because he didn't play that many minutes and was strictly a dunker.

I'm not trying to defend the guy a ton. He's a fringe player at best. But there's nothing wrong with fringe players as a 14th guy on a roster. It's more important they have a good work ethic and contribute well to the locker room chemistry. I think he does both.

I really dont care, I'm just ready to move on... It doesn't matter anyway... He gone

Going over the cap also opens up our 5M mid-level exception, instead of 2.8M mid-level exception. In theory we can go over the limit with either Evans or Ingles. I think it will be wise for us to go over the limit with somebody. We might not need it next year(very possible with the rising cap room), but having it and not needing it sure beats not having it and needing it. Ideally we would go close to the salary cap with our other signings(free agency, trades) and then we would offer Evans and/or Ingles a contract that guarantees we go over.

Are you sure about Ingles? You have to have bird rights to be able to go over the cap to sign a player, and I don't think Ingles qualifies, unless I'm missing something.
 
If Sloan were still here Jeremy would be a borderline all star. DeMarre, Millsap, Kanter, Korver... Even Al Suckerson improved when he left. Greg Miller has turned this club into a training program for other teams. Come to Utah, get PT, leave to a contender. I could build a championship from ex jazz players and botched draft picks.
 
It's hard to have discussions about salary cap implications and strategies when very few people begin to grasp the intricacies of the cba. I need answer 2 questions to know if this makes any sense.
1. What affect does the rising salary cap have on this?
2. What players do we possibly bring with the extra cap room that we have purchased with this move?

My brain is too full right now to figure out the above.

Edit, can we leave Jeremy out of this? He is just a pawn in this topic. It has little to do with him.

Let me know when one of them plays a "significant role" on a championship winner. Otherwise your drivel is just that. Worthless drivel.
 
Here's some math on the implications of this.

Projected cap is 67.1 million

Jazz have 54.75 million if all salaries are kept.
-4.75 unguaranteed for Booker
-3.88 or so unguaranteed for the D-League fellas

Approximately a 3.4 million cap hold on Evans.

2.24 million for 12th pick (rookie scale at 120%)

Jazz have no trade exceptions. The mid level exception and cap holds and such don't go over the salary cap, so the Jazz lose those exceptions and can only sign free agents other than Evans via cap room.

With everything combined, Jazz would have 6.7 million...err....units, to spend on free agents. That's a fairly meager amount.

Renounce Evans' cap hold (thus renouncing the way the Jazz could sign him and go over the cap) and the Jazz have 10.1 million units to spend on free agents. I'd say that renouncing Evans makes keeping Booker a much likelier possibility.

They sure look good getting swept against Lebron and his merry group of scrubs.

Group of scrubs? They were given 2nd best odds of wining it all going into playoffs. Its the conference finals for gods sake. Whats wrong with you man?

They were given second best odds of winning it all because they have LeBron.

They didn't add much more than LeBron to this team from last year (other than love who is hurt)
What was the cavs record from last year?

Darn, I guess we'll never know... Must be my arrogance talking, but I think you are overestimating the ability to slam dunk a basketball.
To be Evans I must do two things.... 1- Be tall 2- jump high

That's much more complicated than what it takes to post these ill informed opinions of yours, so I don't have any confidence that you could pull it off.
