The only way the Jazz are getting Okoro is if Cleveland wants to do a S&T where they take Clarkson, which I think makes 0 sense for them unless Mitchell just really wants to hangout with Clarkson again
Lauri re-signs for 5 years 238 million
- Thread starter zyzz
- Start date
The internet exists and it allows you to do research before speaking.
The Jazz have single-digit millions in cap-space. They can’t/shouldn’t really use it for anything besides dumps because they’re already above the salary floor and that amount of money gets you nothing, especially at this stage of the offseason.
It's available now
Not necessarily. Or maybe they don't if want to avoid being crippled by the apron then maybe they just let him go. He is a bad shooter but young and could get better. But yeah I guess they may want to do a sign and trade if they feel they are losing out. New CBA may lead to situations like this.

I’d much rather see big money go to good people and Lauri is good people. A lot of the money he makes on this contract will benefit a lot more people than just himself.
The Jazz can only offer him like 8 million per year which is lower than his cap hold. I doubt Okoro would even sign that at this point and would probably just go the QO route
Of course and it was before too if we want to be cute.
Not really. They had to finish the Lauri deal firstOf course and it was before too if we want to be cute.
If I’m being real, I’m not in love with this but we’ll likely never know the particulars of what the offers were (multiple first round picks and pick swaps” is not particular: two picks? Three picks? Protections? Swaps or super swaps?). Unless @Tony Jones wants to give us the scoop of all scoops.
No 15 million as far understood it to be. If Lauri took 24 million the first year it would be 11 million. But whatever Lauri took less money his first year for a reason. Again this is a guess, but Cy wants to get worked up by that then be my guest.
. Lol

Edit, you are definitely wrong
No, they could have messed around with 10ish million without impacting the Lauri deal. We far exceeded the available cap to do the Lauri deal as evidenced by the 4 million he left on the table.

I am just a Internet troll in some form or another. You can make your points but I can squawk away too. I don't have all the rules in front of me. But let's see.
You are wrong bud
They absorbed Westbrook’s salary already. And at some point they will actually have to sign Eubanks, Juzang, and Flip. They can hold off a while longer and sign them using exceptions but they’re not really going into the season with much if any cap space and all they can do with it is absorb some deals in the meantime. Probably.No 15 million as far understood it to be. If Lauri took 24 million the first year it would be 11 million. But whatever Lauri took less money his first year for a reason.

If this tweet is right, Lauri is taking around $13 million less than his absolute max over the last three years of this deal. In the first two years, he is making a total of $88 million. This leaves $150 million for the last three years. If this is flat, he will be making 29% of the cap in year 3, 26% in year 4 and 24% in year 5.

Per the tweet he did leave a little on the table the final seasons though.
From what I can tell the Jazz gave Lauri everything and will save like 10 million over the final 3 years of Lauri's deal and for that they got no player option in the final year.
