The Non-Jazz NBA Thread in the Jazz Section

And it’s a six year deal, so he’s probably collecting double payments on the end of that contract, too, when he takes another job after Detroit screws the pooch and has to “do something” and fires the coach.

Quin gotta be a little jelly rn.

I think Monty is overrated but Detroit could have done a lot worse. I think they are a prime trade down candidate for us. Plus we have some history there from the Bogey/KO swap.

They owe us one…

Doubtful. If memory serves, most of those contracts contain offset clauses where if they are let go and get a higher paying job elsewhere (don't know about same title or not), the former team is no longer obligated to pay on the deal. If they accept a deal elsewhere for less money, they offset would kick in and they'd make up the difference up to the former salary. Given Monty got that bag, doubtful Phoenix owes him anything.

I thought there are typically offset clauses in contracts so that the previous teams aren’t paying old coaches if they get another job… am I wrong?

Might be true as several have mentioned it... I've not heard it before... and that might be why they had to go real high... cuz Monty likely could bank 7 figures for a media gig and take a low stress year or two while getting paid. That might be why Detroit went higher.

Either way this sets the new market for big name coaches and is a notable development. Big names gotta be doing jumping jacks.

I wonder how big of a suspension Ja gets?

Silver might actually suspend him for two games. That'll teach Ja.

IDK… that’s sounds bad right. Like it was prolly 25 games without additional info… maybe it will be something lame like… we discovered it’s a water pistol and he was on his way to hang out with disadvantaged youth… so no suspension nothing to see… no follow up questions thank you.

In hindsight, the Heat could have really used Kelly Olynyk.

I hope he gets at least 20 games.

I think it was going to be 20-25 games before the comments today. If there is additional info… I think we are looking at maybe 50 games or a season. He had another comment where he said he doesn’t know what it will take to change his behavior… I’m guessing it’s not good… wonder if the cryptic insta stuff was Ja learning about what they found out. I don’t know what these investigations entail but if they went digging through his devices no telling what BS was in there.
