Jazz Awarded $2.62M Injury Exception For Thabo Sefolosha

[416Klawzz]

This should help us a bit...

 

[gregbroncs]

Can we use it in a trade? Not sure how these things work.

 

[cooldude32]

Does it have to be used this year?

 

[enchilada_style]

What does this money even mean?

They can use that exception to trade for a single player in the last year of his contract (no options!), sign a single free agent on a one year deal, or claim a qualifying player off waivers.

Do we get a roster exception?

Can it be used as part of a bigger, multiplayer deal? Or just the exception for the expiring and that’s it?

DWill.

Can't be used in a bigger deal unfortunately. https://basketball.realgm.com/analysis/240416/CBA-Encyclopedia-Disabled-Player-Exception

Probably the best example of our ability to use this is to take Tim Frazier (expiring $2 million) from Washington to help alleviate their luxury tax bill. After this trade, they would be less than $4 million from being under the luxury level. We would probably pick up a 2nd rounder in the process.

Thanks, Thabo. You're awesome!

So this means the Jazz are getting Kemba, Mirotic, and Kevin Love. Nice

Nope.

 

[infection]

Nope.

So it’s pointless.

 

[Jack Strop]

So it’s pointless.

Not if Utah sends out more players than they take in after all trading is done. Then they can use the exception.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

So it’s pointless.

Most likely

Seems like a scrap, a formality the league threw us in the face of the other injury exceptions.

 

[KqWIN]

Meaningless

 

[Coach Ellis]

Unless the Jazz actually make some moves and clear a roster spot. Then, $2.6 for a guy who got bought out might not be a bad deal to get a look at someone.

My impression was that the Celtics got a temporary (season long) 16th roster spot and $8 million due to the season ending injury of Gordon Hayward. Did we somehow not get the roster spot due to Sefalosha's injury happening after the Jan. 15th cutoff or something dumb like that? I guess I don't get why one team would get a roster spot and another wouldn't unless the injury happens after a cutoff date.

When did Hayward get hurt? What happened?
