2023 NBA Free Agency Thread

I assume he's talking about what she said on her Unsalvageable podcast..."I will say, I'm hearing a lot more today that this really could be part of a bigger plan to send him off to another team."
Yep. She broke the story of clarkson opting in & is representing that she has a good inside source. I think she has a source in the clarkson camp (just speculating).
 
It’s probably something like 24M/17M/14M.
Yeah, sounds like what Hollinger predicted. He got the number exactly right - 55M so I would guess the year by year numbers are correct too:

So if Clarkson contract uses all Jazz cap space for this season does that mean they are done building roster

This would make Clarkson's contract very, very valuable as a trade asset. Maybe too valuable to give up though.
 
We should have the MLE, but I am not sure we will use it... Maybe if we make some sort of trade?

Think so. We're at 15, so would need to consolidate else waiving someone.
We’d have the room exception of 7.7M. We can have up to 20 players under contract… roster doesn’t have to go to 15 until season starts. Could waive Carey or Luka too. We don’t need to yet.
 
Think people are focusing too much on the roster spots. Simone/Luka could be gone at a moments notice if we want to use our room exception. It costs Ryan real money out of his pocket so I wouldn’t expect it, but the best use of the room exception would be to get some kind of non-guaranteed/future team option deal….even if it’s an overpay year 1.

Not even Simone, Carey or Samanic have non-guaranteed contracts. Doesn’t cost Ryan any money.
