Forgive me, I'm not a capologist, but aren't we still like $8 million below the salary floor? Did the Hill and JJ deals take care of that?
 
We can be done. If they stay that far below the cap they end up writing a check for that amount. It is spilt among the roster members or goes to the NBAPA or something like that.

But yes they can be done. I think they are looking at another big but we will see what they do.
 
Technically, we can be done. The salary floor is misunderstood. You don't need to reach it. If you don't, the difference between your total salaries and the floor is distributed throughout the rest of the players (I used to think this was done within each individual team, but I thought I heard recently that it's actually dispersed throughout all the players in the league). Having said that, I do think the Jazz will either sign one more player or make another trade this offseason. They're clearly in win-now mode, so if a deal or player is out there that they think will make them better, they'll jump on it. But if not, I don't think the Jazz will make a deal with someone just to reach the floor.
 
Technically we haven't done the Hill or JJ deals yet. They aren't official until the 7th when the new cap takes effect.

I'll bet we see 1 big added. DL probably wanted to see a couple of SL games to assess the progress of Lyles and Pleiss.
 
If we're sitting with cap space near the trade deadline, there might be expirings and draft picks to be had if someone needs to work out a deal for Westbrook or someone like that, I'd imagine.
 
I worry about the 4/5 spot. Lyles will be promoted to take Bookers place as #3 big, but who take Lyles place as 4th big?

I'd say more Pleiss than Lyles. I think Lyles is set as the back up big due to his play last year.

But I think watching a few SL games leads to DL taking action and we see a back up C brought in with Withey the third C.

Pleiss shipped out.
 
I think it's also the case that we have until the trade deadline to reach the floor

Or bought out. He probably ought to be finding a nice landing spot in Europe.
 
Booker was bought by the Nets for $9 mill and the Jazz let that one pass by. I hope that means we have something better in mind or we should have just ponied up and kept Book.

Looks like it's Boris Diaw. One year rental to get to the salary floor. Additional veteran presence with positional flexibility. Spurs background. Seems like a solid move for next to nothing in compensation. Doesn't handicap the team moving forward contract wise. Good trade.

You honestly believe the Spurs wouldn't have been able to get this cap space if the Jazz had refused to make this trade? How stupid are you?

It was going to happen one way or another. Might as well get better ourselves.
 
So the jazz roster is:

Hayward
Favors
Rudy Gobert
George Hill
Dante Exum
Alec Burk
Trey Lyles
Rodney Hood
Joe Johnson
Raul Neto
Jeff Withey
Tibor Pleiss
Joe Ingles
Boris Diaw

and possibly

Shelvin Mack


that's 15 by my count

Cool another 12 year old calling names. You think adding a player they averaged 6.4 points is worth wasting 7 million for next two years on is good idea?

I love this defeatist attitude of so called Jazz fans. I am a real fan an I want to shoot for a title.

The second year has a team option. 7 million for what Diaw contributes is an absolute bargain in today's NBA.
