Not only that... Beasley has an option... so if the summer brings options you can waive him. You can move Conley next year to pursue Kyrie or waive his partially guaranteed deal if he gets hurt... Vando is cheap so all three guys have optionality too.

They should have done the deal this summer with Bogey... but this is still good and could be great if Mike stays healthy.

they also need to realize their BS has pissed off enough teams that some teams are now penalizing them. Openly talking about every teams players and recruiting them through nefarious means limits how many friends they have out there.

Good point. That's why they probably want nothing to do with Rudy Gay and his $6+ million for next year.

They could have it convey as unprotected in 2028 which would allow them to trade their 2030 pick along with a 2029 pick swap if they wanted to this summer.

Trade them for 3 swaps... 23 (Philly), 27(minny/utah/cavs), and 29 (same as 27) and convince them its better cuz they can trade 28/30 and 23 on draft night!

They get their guy and only gave up swaps!!! Pelinka a genius!!!

I thought we had $7 million in space?

Westbrook for Conley, Beasley and Vanderbilt brings in less than $5 million extra. Even with a couple minimum pickups, we would avoid the luxury without having to do an extra deal right?

Pretty much every player is guaranteed at this point. I’m pretty sure even minimum contracts coming back are still going to put the jazz just over the line unless there’s another player coming and going.

****ing Woj... just when I was about to get some damn work done.

Jazz would have to cut a deal somewhere else to keep themselves from going over the tax line. It’s not worth becoming a taxpayer this year. . . much rather keep flexibility than help the Lakers owners save cash.

We would still be about 600K under the tax.

I think you also get a small gift from Russ when you buy him out. Tell him you will buy him out immediately if he gives back a minimum salary amount and he is free to go wherever he wants. If he says no then tell him you will keep him on the roster the rest of the season... even if he gives back like 1M it gives you some space and he will make it all back.

I think he would have to give back at least 1.8M if he planned on taking the minimum from another team.

Gonna be awesome when the Clippers swoop in with the overpay on Conley just to keep him off the Lakers. Then we take Kennard AND Beasley, give THEM to the Lakers and keep Vando.

Woj and others mentioning Toronto here... do they do like a DFS/Harris for Trent/OG with Nets giving two picks? I thought DFS was the guy KD wanted.

Taking pick swaps from them in 2027 and 2029 would still allow them to trade their 2028/2030 firsts if they wanted to next summer. They will also run a PR campaign stating they didn’t give up any future picks since they’re guaranteed to have one etc.
