As an aside, Portland just recently traded Martell Webster, the guy they took in '05 after the trade was made that got us Dwill. How much better is Wesley than Webster? I actually think they're somewhat similar players.

I wish we'd kept Matthews but at the end of the day, we don't know that a lesser offer means he wouldn't have "shopped around", as we say in sales. If indeed his agent was gonna stand firm that he get the full MLE, a lesser offer wouldn't have kept him. When he says he "might" have signed for...

We need a guy with the experience he has...the oldest player on our roster before signing him is Memo at 30. I love having a young team but a veteran presence certainly doesn't hurt.

I wish he'd never left to begin with.

Bump-not at all disappointed by this move. Welcome back!

Also, to add to that, i think he's a similar player to Matt Barnes just 4 yrs older, but more familiar with our system so IMO that offsets the age differential.

It's funny how Kobe tries to lure guys that he's had issues with in the past (Artest, now Bell). Glad to have him back! Even at 34 he's an intelligent player, knows our system, still a fundamentally sound defender who isnt afraid to go toe to toe with anyone, and can knock down the outside J...

Smith is a good player...reason I mentioned the Nugs wouldn't keep him is cause they need the money to sign Melo. But i don't think Smith would be willing to come to Utah anyway, nor do I see the Jazz willing to pay him as much as he'd get in, say, New Jersey, where he was born and raised. Just...

Possibly their replacement if they don't wanna pay J.R. Smith big money next yr.

If we lose to them twice this yr again i'm gonna need a new rug.

Looking at the Nuggs roster, J..R Smith is a free agent next yr, maybe this is a move in case he leaves because he's only 25 and i'm sure some team will throw big money at him that the Nuggs don't feel he's worth paying.

How much is Denver's full MLE? 5mil per? Or is it different based on how long Harrington has been in the league? I was looking at their salaries and they too are into the luxury tax, which they were last yr also.

Just remembered..the name of the place downtown where I had this awesome burger and incredible fries (I had forgotten before i visited how close Utah is to Idaho), was called Richie's. Just across from the Marriott. I also ate at Judge Cafe the 1st time I visited Utah which was excellent.

LOL definitely not really Fes on twitter but a hilarious impersonation.

I don't think we'll sign Tolliver, Brown , and Matthews..maybe 2 of the 3 although i'm thinking more along the lines of Brewer and one of those 3. I actually think they'll let Fes walk. AK I agree on unless he's having a phenomenal yr and the Jazz are at the top of the western conference at the...

Glasseater, but if they don't actually resign Fes, that $1.1 mil doesn't actually count against our cap does it?

LOL Aint, well, just figured i'd put them up there 1st since that's who has knocked us out of the playoffs 3 yrs in a row but, in my follow up post I put the entire list up. PHX and Denver are more fair points of reference, maybe even San Antonio who went further above it (about 10mil) and is in...

Something else to add to further show how we compared last yr to other teams namely the ones who spent more than us...11 teams went further into LT then us, many of which went far more than the $2mil+ we went over. https://www.shamsports.com/content/pages/data/salaries/index.jsp Look...

copying and pasting my post from the other thread and adding a bit: https://www.shamsports.com/content/pages/data/salaries/jazz.jsp Still over by a bit. Take that $61,042,357 figure, add $13 mil for Al and you get to $74,042,357, subtract Koufos' $1,298,640 and we're at $72,743,717...

I think by trading Koufos it puts us right at, or just a bit under, the luxury tax threshhold no? https://www.shamsports.com/content/pages/data/salaries/jazz.jsp Edit: looking closer, I don't think it does, still over by a bit. Take that$61,042,357 figure, add $13 mil for Al and you get to...
