Utah`s options this summer

[Ron Mexico]

Exum 9,6
Crowder 7,816
Korver 7,5
Niang 1,645

26,561 million. This *1,25 + 100k is 33,201 million. Conley is making 32,511 million next year.

Oh, you're right.

The fact that jazz chose to send a 1st instead of Exum in the trade makes this a pointless discussion though. They aren't suddenly going to throw in Exum and Niang now.

Or else Memphis said thanks but no thanks to Exum and his contract.

My fear with dumping Exum is how thin we’d be at guard in a league that is now all about small ball.

He's hardly on the court regardless if we do keep him.

Possibly but based on the fact that he was the reason the deal didn't go through last time because we wouldn't include him makes that less likely.

As far as I know that was only rumored, never confirmed (correct me if I'm wrong), plus Exum had another significant injury after that point which very well might change their calculus.

Exum's knee issues weren't known about until after the deadline and Tony Jones reported that the Jazz weren't including Exum, so I consider it fact.

I'm confused, how does that make it fact? Is there any confirmation that Memphis was really pushing for Exum?

 

[Miggs]

Mike Conley's contract is 32.5. That is not within the 125% 100k rule of those players either. It's close. I guess if you included Bradley as well.

It doesn’t have to be. We’re under the cap.

Jones is as clued into the organization as anyone is in the NBA. Not 100% fact, but that was the word around the campfire was that Utah would not include Exum. Given that contract he got last year, I believe it be correct. Lindsey either has some weird bromance with Rxum or Dante has some good blackmail material on the Millers.

The trade is not happening until July 6th. This roster below is the one we take into FA if we renounce the cap holds for those 3 players. I see now that I made one mistake by forgetting about Crowder. This ****s up my whole premise since only 18,31 million is left in cap space.

Gobert 25,008
Favors 16,9
Ingles 11,955
Exum 9,6
Mitchell 3,636
Neto 2,15
Bradley 1,962
Niang 1,645
O` Neale 1,619
Korver 7,5
Crowder 7,815
ROSTER HOLD 0,9

You’re overthinking this. Once that trade goes through, we have just 1-2M in cap space I think.

We can’t afford to drop Niang. He’s one of our better scorers. Not sure who else is even close to him offensively. He showed down the stretch and playoffs he can score and add spacing on the court.

Shooting 40% from the floor, 30% from 3 and averaging 4 points in the playoffs is considered "one of the better scorers", then this team isnt really close to contending.
