"The Jazz are bound to shoot [Milos] Teodosic an offer sheet."

Thought he was the best player on the Serbian squad at the Olympics. Three years at 26 sounds like a coup when you consider what Hill wants and his injury record. I'd rather sign Jrue Holliday as he's a proven commodity but in lieu of that this might be our best option. So smooth I think bust is out of the question, could be epic.
 
Granted, I have never seen him play, but at first glance I think Teodosic could make a ton of sense.

Call it 3 years/$30 million, that's right in the wheelhouse of the cap room we have to use by July. Plus, it's not an astronomical enough sum that we couldn't feel good about bringing him off the bench if Dante really is ready to take the reins over the next 1-2 seasons. And his contract would expire at age 33 when his skills will likely start to decline. Plus, Quin loves him and he's 6'5" so he fits in well with our size/length mantra (though I hear he's a sieve defensively).

Paying George Hill ~$25M for 4-5 years is a really difficult pill to swallow, for a lot of reasons. If Teodosic can play at a high level, this could be a great workaround.
 
2016-17 - $8M

2017-18 - $7.5M

2018-19 - $7M

2019-20 - $6.5M

This ends up being a 3-year $21M deal for the team going forward. By giving him $8M up front it's a 3-year $29M deal for Teodosic which is right at his asking price.

This would be an extremely good contract idea for both sides.

You cannot give him money for this current year. This Locke fantasy needs to stop. I asked the guy that keeps the salary caps for RealGM if this is possible at all. here's his response:

It can't. Unless I am really missing something. I'll re-look, but as far as I know, he'll have to wait until the summer like everyone else.

Trades can happen once a team is eliminated from the playoffs, but any signings are limited to signing players you hold Draft Rights on, which the Jazz don't for Teodosic.

Somehow I doubt Locke would just bring it up out of nowhere unless somebody like DL brought it up.

I agree... I think the difference is he is not draft eligible and did not play in the nba this year. Although I think Locke could absolutely be wrong I'm not sure he's tricky enough with the cap to really think this through.
