They didn't send anyone out in the trade so how exactly does this trade help them financially in acquiring Howard any more than not trading for Okur?
Memo traded to NJ

Exactly. Nets are able to fill the void left by Lopez' injury with a one-year rental. Jazz get minimal compensation because the trade helps them a ton financially - i.e. getting below the luxury tax line. The genius of the move by KOC is now they have, in effect, an "expiring" to trade either this year or early next season. So KOC can afford to be selective in seeking deals. My guess is the Jazz don't use the exception until the summer at the earliest; there's just too much financial benefit by having that salary off the books for this season.It helps then in the fact that it doesn't hurt them.

This kills The Nets. It takes them out of the running if Orlando decides to trade Howard as opposed to letting him go as an FA. And even if they can somehow swing a 3-team deal, they have less cap space that would have had to been used to take Turkoglu's contract off Oralando's hands - which will most certainly part of any Howard deal under the sun.
The only thing this marginally helps The Nets with is wins and losses - which is something they're not overly concerned with in a rebuilding year.
In a seson this compacted, I'd prefer no one played over 30 minutes.
Okur was a great outside shooter, good post defender, and fair rebounder. I don't think his game would have suffered much from being slowed, because it was never built on speed to begin with. However, our personnel has changed, and probably he didn't fit quite as well as previously. It's a good trade, but still one tinged with melancholy.
They didn't, at least not in this forum.
Okur always guarded the post player on the other team, and did a decent job. Boozer guarded whichever big was more mobile, and did a less satisfactory job. That's why Boozer took more heat than Okur.

Hey, lets go shopping!
Can someone remind me who the jazz picked up with the Deron Trade Exception?
Or the Ronnie Brewer trade exception?
Or the Matt Harpring trade exception?
At least KOC got a lousy pick in return this time. And he cleared out the log-jam, anytime you have an abundance of servicable players at a postiton you should clear it out. The Jazz would not be in the position they are in today at sg had KOC not cleared out that log-jam.
Go Jazz!

How big was that exception? If it existed, it hasn't expired yet.
Salary dumps by an over-the-tax team. We are not over the tax anymore.

There's one you forgot who fell right at the beginning of this trend, and his loss is probably the biggest reason for all the rest: LHM.
It's crazy to see so much change in what had been such a stable franchise. That said, I'm fully on board and completely impressed with what KOC is doing.

You even liked the part where he compared our team to a litter box filled with cats? Damn. I hate cats.

When they decided to give Memo a two-year extension, they guaranteed Matthews would walk. That is what happens when they commit 8-figure salaries to flawed players. I hope the Jazz remember the lesson as Favors and Hayward reach the mid-point of their rookie contracts.

Good explanation, but where do these things come from? Would the Jazz just have the ability to create one out of thin air the way that Chicago and NJ have apparently done, or had those two teams previously acquired them from somewhere else?

I sincerely hope it's not a matter of KOC forcing Corbin's hand, but of the two of them working together.Love the trade. Thank you KOC for forcing the hand of Corbin to give the kids time. That TE and Pick will both be good. High 2nd rounder in 2015 as they will still suck. Most interested in the TE. Memo I will miss your wife the most

At first I was thinking, can't this guy add to 48? Then I thought, 25 minutes for Bell? Then I wondered about Hayward playing 40 minutes a game split between starting point guard and backup small forward, and then I wondered why insult Evans with 2 minutes a game. Then I wondered who feels complimented by a slap on the cheek. Then I wondered what your victim comment was all about. And finally I noticed that you don't even know how to spell your first name right and everything became crystal clear.

What about the Carlos Boozer trade exception? That was also the only TPE over $10 million... until this one.
