Wait...I thought Babe said Biden only picked up votes in a few urban areas in a few ("contested") states. Your numbers must be wrong...

Which, of course, makes perfect sense: The Jazz are cheap and conservative, and just tossed a bunch of second round picks to avoid the LT. In the end, it looks like you were wrong about the Jazz using the full MLE + re-signing JC, but possibly right about them skirting the LT.

Found the relevant part in Larry Coon's CBA FAQ. It appears as though Dan Clayton's understanding is not consistent with the FAQ, as that salary calculation for rookies and second year players making the minimum is for the Apron, not the cap or LT: 13. Exactly what is included when computing...

I don't see it in Larry Coon's FAQ. Is this Salt City Hoops dude reliable? Either way, it might be possible to replace two or three of the Jazz's last four with players making the rookie minimum ($900k) and avoid the LT.

Not aware of this rule; strange. Could this guy (Dan Clayton) just be wrong? Larry Coon is usually pretty good. If this is the rule, could the Jazz trade a couple of their guys making more than the minimum for other teams' drafted players on the rookie minimum to avoid the tax? Do they have any...

I don't think that's right. I believe it's the other way around: with 3+ year vets counting against the cap the same as a 2-year vet. Per Larry Coon's FAQ (LINK): Not sure why he used 2017-18 as an example, but the rule still applies. Rookies on minimum contracts should count as $898,310...

The question is whether they can get under the LT by replacing their last 4 players (Oni, Morgan, Niang, NWG) with rookies on minimum contracts. They can under certain, seemingly reasonable assumptions. Per Capulator (plus assumptions in bold): Conley: $34,502,130 Gobert: $26,525,281...

Is this necessarily the case? How much salary is guaranteed for Niang, NWG, Oni, Morgan and Brantley? When/is there a guarantee date on their contracts?

He's 32 in December.

Holding onto the BAE until waiving season might land the Jazz a decent player, especially if they're top 4 in the West.

They can be renounced before they sign.

Missing Hughes.

Couple people have said so. I'm not convinced though. Will depend on how the JC and Favs contracts are structured and whether the Jazz use the BAE.

Sounds about right. Not sure DL is engaged enough to break out in cold sweats over anything Jazz related though.

DL and JZ asked what JC and Favs wanted, said yes. Now time to do the same with Donovan and Rudy. Our FO barely had to get out of bed.

That's 125. Where's the other 25+?

I'm not sure how two ways count or what happens with Juwan Morgan, so I counted Brantley and Morgan as 2.7 in salary. Still left the Jazz with as much as 6 million under the apron, which is not really bumping up against the apron even after the 3.6 BAE. With JC and Favs on flat contracts, wiggle...

To add, even if the Favs and JC contracts are flat, they'd start at 22, leaving slightly more than enough for the Jazz to use the BAE.

No.

The Jazz's 6 guaranteed guys + 2 draft picks get them to 106.5. Oni, Morgan, Niang and Brantley add maybe 6 to 112.5. That's 11 or 12 players with the Jazz 26.5 under the apron. Favs and JC could start as low as 20.2 in 20/21 if they're given max raises (sounds like they won't be). So...the...
