The official extend Clarkson thread.

Would you trade Conley for Chandler Parsons? That expiring max contract would secure Clarkson.

Plus Trae Young just got injured.

I mean, we have Bird Rights on Clarkson and Royce right? Guessing that would put us into the tax (plus tax payer exception) but it’s not like we can’t do it.

Am I wrong here?

It would be close. Davis' guaranteed 5 million next year is looking bad.
 
Need to get rid of Davis' contract somehow and hope Conley doesn't opt in. The latter is just wishful thinking, though. No way does Conley get anything even remotely close. He'll opt in, then hope he 's worth the MLE to a team for a couple of years after that.

Definitely need to try to keep Clarkson.
 
I don't want to dump Conley, and I wouldn't do something that bad, but was exploring ideas as to how we can keep Jordan in our long term plans.

I'd say that Lindsey already has a plan for that.

Uh, even if you get rid of Davis, you need to pay for a backup center somewhere.
 
The LT is likely to be >$140 million next offseason and the Jazz are at ~$106 million without re-signing Clarkson or Royce. For whatever that is worth. I personally think the Jazz are good on this front but we'll see.

Good stuff. So back of the napkin math should make it where we should be able to resign both and the middle level? Figuring roughly $13m for each Royce and Clarkson.....but who knows I guess and still a bit confused on which exception we would have.

Miller’s have said they would pay the tax....no?

My guess is Royce goes for about $11. Not sure about Clarkson. You sell him on winning 6th man of the year for a contender. But we’d have both the MLE and BAE.

If the Jazz kept Clarkson's rights (which they probably will do, but let's not get ahead of ourselves on how good he is), they would definitely be over the cap which would mean they would have the full MLE and should have the BAE in addition to infinite minimum-contract slots (which if the Jazz make a deep run could actually yield real players).

None of this takes into account that one of our G-League heroes could pop on the Jazz.

Another scenario that I think is realistic is that through some sequence of events, Clarkson is gone and Royce isn't yet re-signed, which would mean the Jazz actually have $10-$11 million in cap space which might be enough to grab a really good player on the backend of their career like Gallinari since all the teams with a ton of capspace aren't any good, so there's a good chance the market for players like him (Iguodala, Ibaka, whoever else) is won by a good team that can offer just a little bit more. In such a circumstance, the Jazz would still have the room MLE as well.
