If we were able to trade Ricky for an expiring deal then we would have room for a max offer while keeping Exum, Hood, Jonas, Thabo and Udoh.I think the only good option is to trade for him. We would have to gut our team a lot to clear enough room to make a max offer.
We do have more room than I thought butIf we were able to trade Ricky for an expiring deal then we would have room for a max offer while keeping Exum, Hood, Jonas, Thabo and Udoh.
Rudy $23.5
Ricky $15
Ingles $13
Burks $11.5
Mitchell $3.1
Bradley $1.7
Royce $1.4 (partially guaranteed?)
Total ~$69-70M, counting O’Neale’s which I’m uncertain on the guarantee currently.
The unguaranteed deals of those three guys counts toward the ~$82M base, then add in the 250% for Exum and Hood (I’m not certain that it’s that high... I show about 18.5M combined). So getting rid of Rubio really gives us max space.We do have more room than I thought but
Plus the Cap hold of Exum $14,977,156 and Hood $7,160,593 puts us at 92. If we add in Sef, Thabo and Udoh we are at almost 105 right?
So if we take off Rubio's 15 that puts us around 90 ish? The Salary cap is supposed to be around 101. I dont see us clearing enough room to offer someone the max of I think 25 million. We would have to get below 76 million.
I guess if we let the cap holds of JJ, Favors and Neto go. Along with opting out of the contracts with Sef, Thabo and Udoh. Plus we trade Rubio and take nothing back or an expiring back we could retain Hood and Exum's cap holds and have a max salary slot to offer. Although I think it would be matched. To me that makes it a big risk to gut our team. I would rather trade for a player now.

My understanding is the projected cap is $108. 250% of Exum and Hood’s salaries should be much lower. I could be wrong.http://www.spotrac.com/nba/utah-jazz/cap/2018/
Rudy Gobert $23,491,573
Joe Ingles $13,045,455
Alec Burks $11,536,515 8.35
Thabo Sefolosha $5,250,000
Jonas Jerebko $4,200,000
Ekpe Udoh $3,360,000
Donovan Mitchell $3,111,480
Tony Bradley $1,679,520
This is that salary that you are suggesting and that is 65.699 million. Plus the Cap hold of Dante Exum $14,977,156 and Rodney Hood $7,160,593. That adds up to 87.836 million. That gives us about 13.2 million to offer a free agent. If we drop Thabo, Jonas and Ekpe that would clear up 12.8 million more and we could offer ~26 million which is about the max salary.
Our roster would be:
Rudy Gobert
Joe Ingles
Alec Burks
Donovan Mitchell
Tony Bradley
1 max salary player
1 first round pick
and a bunch of NBA minimum contracts.
Am I missing anything?
Why Delly I would rather get brogdon.Favors and Hood for Jabari and Delly.
Favors and Hood will probably combine to make less than what max Parker and Delly would make next year. The Bucks have to start watching the books. This trade gives them 2 good players for an oft injured potential star. This is a safer and cheaper deal for Milwaukee.

http://www.cbafaq.com/salarycap.htm#Q37Larry Bird, following the fourth season of his rookie scale contract Below the average salary1 300% of his previous salary (effective 2018-19) or 250% of his previous salary (2017-18 only)2
The Bucks would want to dump Delly's deal so they could bring back Hood and Favors. Delly is actually a bad contract and only a role player.
