Jazz Free Agency Summer of 2018

[LoPo]

If Harris signed for $8, Grant for $9 and Doug for $7, what is Exum worth? $7?

Back of the napkin math tells me OKC’s payroll will be about 10 billion this year.

OKC has to mortgage the farm to ditch Melo right? 2 first rounders?

The trickiest part of Exum's deal is that offering him $7, he may choose to just wait out the market, handicapping the Jazz, and end up taking his QO of like $5 million and betting on himself to get paid next summer unrestricted.

I think we will sign exum with very cheap deal

Aren't many teams that can absorb that. Might say 3 first rounders before accepting.

Where is OKC getting all this money from?!?!?!

The money they saved from trading Harden.

Paul George signed a 4-year 137M deal and Jerami Grant signed a 3-year 27M deal. OKC royally ****ed themselves.

There is absolutely zero buzz on Exum - my best advice to him is take whatever The Jazz offer and say thank you.

OKC could trade Melo much like Charlotte traded Dwight. Something like Melo for Ryan Anderson saves OKC $7 million this year which is a ton with the luxury tax implications. Then they stretch Anderson after this year.

PG at four years, 137 mil.

No wonder he stayed.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Okc’s bill would be 130m in tax as it stands... that’s so much money... just to have us kick they ***.

DeAndre Jordan is being signed for 3 things specifically - rim protection and rim finishing... and rebounding.

Favors ranks higher than DAJ in both rim protection (here's for 2015-2016 season, and for 2014-2015, too) AND finishing at the rim(stats for 2015-2016 and 2014-2015, too - here DAJ is better for those 2 years but Favors is still top 10 in the league)

I'm ignoring the injured 2016-2017 season. And Favors does a ton of things better on offense than DAJ...

The only thing DAJ does better than Favs is individual rebounding and the Jazz have been rebounding better with Favors on the floor than without him... and Favors is 3 years younger.

PO for the 3rd year.

But that's kind of the point. He may want to "generate" buzz this season to get a better deal with more money available.

Carmelo has a no-trade clause too doesn’t he? That’s another potential hurdle if they try to move him.

 

[Avery]

NBA needs a hard cap like the NFL. Luxury tax isn’t cutting it.

Jazz just tell him to take a walk if it comes to that and they need the space. With money this tight, Exum needs to be careful.

Does the no trade clause remain in effect after being trade.

In other words, is it a one time thing?
