Max Out Matthews?

[fishonjazz]

All estimates I've heard are that the cap will jump to around 90 million in the first year of the new CBA(because they get from 900M TV deal to 2.6 billion) and will probably keep increasing after.

So in other words. No one knows yet because it hasn't happened yet?

The projections so far have been extremely accurate for future years(as in difference of 0.1-0.2M between projection and actual cap space). The new CBA adds some uncertainty, but in general it will be that range - 86-90M...

Fair enough. Makes sense

No team is going to let their star RFA's just walk with the cap rise on the horizon. We arent getting Butler, Leonard, or probably even Draymond (though that may be possible).

To recap for the tards like Hacl:

Getting top tier RFA's is impossible.

But thats juss yr opinion, man. I got an opinion too. All opinions are essentially equal, because they are O-P-I-N-I-O-N-S .... so I'll continue to pose.

Just like the lottery pros. What do they have except a lot of opinions? I have a lot of opinions! I may as well be an expert myself (on jazzfanz).

pretty much.

Not impossible just unlikely. We ended up with Boozer he was a RFA and one of the best available that year.

I really don't have a problem with accepting Cy's numbers. He's just a little more in touch with salary than I am.

But I'm still not sold on $15M for a career 14/2/3 @ 32 minutes a game guy.

Hmmmmm.

I'm sensing a contradiction in your theories.

I'm almost leaning more toward Carroll than I am toward Matthews. He's a little younger, he has experience with Q, I like him defending 3s more than Matthews, and he'll come with a better price tag.

It will be 90+ mill, tax at like 110. The players are guaranteed 49-51% of BRI, so they get it regardless. The question is if the league can convince the players to accept smoothing (making the jump over a few years instead of all in 2016). The players rejected the first proposal so far. If they did smoothing, whatever it takes to get to 49% BRI gets split up among the players.

So no, it's not a for sure thing, but unless the players agree to modify the CBA for smoothing the cap will make that huge jump.

 

[NAOS]

(And smoothing is pretty much not going to happen. I can't see why the players would agree to it.)

I'd be down for some JYD. It's just a unique opportunity that should not be missed. Probably the biggest FA year the Jazz will have for a long time.

 

[vegas]

NFL and others have, but with superstars setting up their contracts to expire for that specific opportunity, it seems unlikely.

What are you 5 years old? Can you not do critical thinking?


The players will agree to smoothing because it gives more free agent classes an opportunity to get a bigger contract, not just one class getting a huge raise.

I would love for Carroll to come back. If he can be consistent with the 3 i'd be happy. I think Matthews would be better, because he could be a solid offensive option with Hayward and Favors. I don't see Exum and Gobert contributing greatly to the offense, which is why I would want a solid 2nd or 3rd option. Carroll may be able to be that, but right now he is the 5th option for the Hawks. Mathews is a 3rd option behind 2 all stars, so he could easily be our 2nd option.
