Through 3 friendly games, Lauri is averaging: 30 mpg 28.3 pts 10.3 reb (1.7 oreb, 8.7 dreb) 3.3 ast 0.7 stl 0.7 blk 2.7 TO 2.0 PF +5.0 .657 TS .509 FG (9.3/18.3) .613 2P (6.3/10.3) .375 3P (3.0/8.0) .909 FT (6.7/7.3)

I assume the Jazz are monitoring the Immanuel Quickly extension. Could be a good get as a sign-and-trade next summer (after a Clarkson-like Markkanen extension) if the Knicks don't extend him this fall. He was really good when he started last season: 22.5, 5.5 and 5 on .605 TS

Through 6 summer league games, Keyonte's per 36 numbers: 25.5 points 5.0 rebounds (0.9 offensive, 4.1 defensive) 7.3 assists 1.8 steals 0.2 blocks 2.5 turnovers 2.3 personal fouls .600 TS: .541 2P (8.4 attempts); .386 3P (10.0 attempts); .750 FT (6.4 attempts) On court: +12.3 Off court: -15.8

Given that the Jazz prioritized JC's renegotiation and extension this summer, this seems like a good use of the space mle: young player who's been productive in his limited minutes whose contract is only for one year if he doesn't show anything. Zero risk with some upside as a player - and...

Gleague was autocorrected to "league". And even though 94 attempts over 2 G-league seasons isn't a lot, I tend to put more faith in those numbers than his 6-8 attempts per year in the NBA - especially since many/most of those could be desperation attempts on short shot clocks (like Paul...

Sorry, in the Gleague (regular season). Paul Reed. https://www.basketball-reference.com/gleague/players/r/reedpa01d.html

Wow, that's a chunk lower than the original reported $55mil.

I agree, and strongly suspect infection is right. 2020 off-season signing and extension dates have probably been effectively amended backward. Was just saying a quick search of the CBA didn't return confirmation of this.

Ha! Not anymore, really. I'm 2 CBAs behind at this point, and Larry Coon hasn't updated his CBA site for the new agreement, so I'm incredibly ignorant. I just recalled someone saying something about the 3-year anniversary recently, which seems to match what's in the new CBA. However, as...

Makes sense. Did a quick search for 2020 and "COVID" in the new CBA, but didn't find anything.

Oooooooh. Yeah, that could make sense I'd hate for this deal to increase the last 2 years of JC's extension.

Looking at his league shooting numbers and defensive versatility, I think it's safe to think Paul Reed can play with Kessler. Markkanen and Hendricks can play the 3 just fine as well. So while the 4/5 is a bit crowded (Kessler, Reed, KO, JC), it should still be manageable until KO is now...

It shouldn't matter. Clarkson's last extension was in November 2020. I'm no expert, but I'm curious how the Clarkson renegotiation has been finalized, given the below rules: (c) Renegotiations. No Player Contract may be renegotiated except in accordance with the following: (1) Subject to...

How can it be done though? Renegotiations can't be finalized until 3 years after the signing of the original contract, which isn't until November for Clarkson. I took a look at the new CBA (page 255), and this is still the case. Yes, Paul Reed can be signed with that exception, but I'm pretty...

Hit 41 of 94 3s (44%) in the league.

TPEs are useful for taking on salary, not shedding it. Kinda wonder if the Jazz already have a KO deal lined up, contingent on this going through. What decent teams have TPEs big enough for KO's salary?

Won't this also stop the Jazz from frontloading Jordan Clarkson's renegotiate and extend? I thought that couldn't be finalized until November.

That's the weakness of the starting lineup, sure, but you're gaining defense and maximizing Sexton+Clarkson. Puts a fair amount of pressure on Markkanen to handle more of the creation load - where he needs more opportunities. But again, as noted, sliding Dunn or THT in for Ochai could also...

I'm not a big Ochai fan (relative to some on the board), but he's a better defender than JC and Sexton, and is currently more effective off-ball on offense. It makes sense to stagger JC and Sexton as much as possible, which is easier if one comes off the bench. I'd probably go with JC + Ochai...

Maybe holding them out means keeping them? I could be wrong, but these are my numbers (based on bbref): 2023-24 John Collins $25,340,000 Collin Sexton $17,325,000 Lauri Markkanen $17,259,999 Kelly Olynyk $3,000,000 Talen Horton-Tucker $11,020,000 Ochai Agbaji $4,114,200...
