I hate told-you-so's, generally, but... A handful of years ago, I was basically run off the board (by Fish and a few other dullards) for suggesting that the jury was still out on DL. At the time, I pointed out that DL had inherited a playoff team with 2 near-all stars (Millsap proved to be an...

The fix is in.

These announcers are insufferable

What the **** is tink doing here?

Conley's been terrific. Mitchell-Conley-Clarkson an absolutely fun and relentless guard rotation.

I think it was Brantley. Dude has slimmed down.

Oni's looked so good defensively these last couple games.

Oh ****, didn't see that. I'm an idiot...

Not sure how it relates to Bojans performance

?

Bogeys skillet is such a good fit for the offense. Just can't hit anything early this season.

You didn't answer the question. How is Rudy's contract worse than the players he mentioned, many/all of whom meet your criteria above while being worse players?

The Conley hate is so over the top. Dude is still a solid player, just not a good fit, especially with JC on the roster.

You're a year off on your calculations: The summer of 2024 is 3.5 years away (42 months-ish). That's 4 seasons--the last year on his rookie deal plus the first three on his extension.

Who's lying to themselves? Donovan wanted more options. Period. The Jazz have him under contract for 5 more seasons. That's it, your fever dreams notwithstanding.

But if those are free agents signed out of the G League, they'd count against the LT and Apron as a second year minimum contract player (if I'm understanding correctly). To drop salary against the LT, the Jazz have to swap their guys for players on rookie minimum who were drafted by their...

Jesus Christ, dude. Get help. Also worth pointing out that just last year Pascal Siakam signed for only 4 years on a "Rose Rule" contract. So, you know, 3 out of like 9 of these things have been for less than 5 guaranteed years.

It's a pretty cool adjustment from both ends. Basically anyone on a minimum contract, irrespective of their service time and the associated salary, counts as a 2-year minimum salary against the LT and Apron.

Good catch. So the Jazz should still be able to trade 2 of NWG/Morgan/Oni/Niang for drafted players making the rookie minimum to maybe get under the tax. Do they have any second round picks left to make this happen? Is this why they're hyping Oni and Morgan so much?

You realize LeBron's extension after his rookie contract was only for 3 years--something a bunch of players did at the time? This is completely normal and expected.
