Utah Trade Deadline Discussion

Okay, I actually had to write down the teams with $88 million or more tied to contracts in summer 2019. According to cap projections, the cap will be around $105 and luxury still around $122. The following teams are the only ones in the NBA with guaranteed contracts that extend past $88 million:

Boston
Cleveland
Detroit
Memphis
Miami
Minnesota
OKC
Portland
Toronto
Washington

There some qualifying offers in there. There are also a couple player options, but almost all of the player options for 2019-20 are for player who are going to decline the option.

So as of today, 2/8/18, exactly 20 teams have space for a major player ($15 million player or more).

Portland has done some smart business the last two years avoiding the luxury. I wonder if Washington is scrambling right now to make something happen. They are only $6 million off.

IT would pursue a buyout from LA if he comes of the bench. Wow, that guy is full of himself

I think we need a Favs for Faried swap now... get their first in the deal. They still need to get off of money.

That's the type deal I'm talking about. I love it. Faried is a bench player. Favors and Crowder are not.

 

[Coach Ellis]

Yeah, I think every team in the league knew that and we got less for him than he is worth. Almost like the Kanter situation.

Exactly like the Kanter situation. Oh well. We still have Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert. AND as long as we don’t trade Favors, it shouldn’t impact how this team functions moving forward for this season. Good news is that Royce O’Neale will get more burn moving forward.

I see where he's coming from though. Like 6 months ago he thought he'd be getting his first fat contract. Now he might be getting like a 1 year prove it deal.

Yeah, it's rough to see this downfall. I dont know if he could start for anyone right now (unless they are trying to tank). The ironic thing is that one of the only teams I can think of is the Phoenix Suns.

Wtf did $15Mil come from. We are talking MAX!!!! Thats whys Ive been arguing we save every penny, to have a distinct advantage in this situation.

Gtfoh.

 

[Coach Ellis]

This just sounds dumb to me. Get rid of the better player for a crappy pick? I don’t understand the reasoning.

 

[elan_prodigy]

And his deal expires when....

Jazz don't need a $15 million player. They need a max player. that's all that matters and as of now, they seem to be the best team with max space in 2019. An argument could be made for Indiana.
