I’d like Olynyk as well but I’d be worried about the cap ramifications of him opting in to next year.I'd love it
We were always planning to have Royce back. I suppose it depends on what they think he would have gone for in the summer. If they think he would have gone for $12-13M, then this gives us more flexibility to play with (relative to what they were expecting). In any case, I think any deadline move is done for this season. We don’t have any assets to pick up something really good. But if we’re able to land a Vonleh or an Olynyk, then that’s good and it’s with an eye (mostly) on this year.How does the Royce extension effect our deadline? I'm assuming if we made a move now we would be looking for a rental?
Your probably right, but I didn’t think Exum would ever net us someone like Clarkson.The interesting part is who gets traded and then bought out. I doubt Ed Davis can be moved for something of value. So when the trades start to happen there might be a piece in the buyout line that could be useful for this season.
Interesting podcast. One particular tidbit is Hollinger mentions that there was a guy that they were offered at the deadline that had some incentives in his contract that could have possibly put them into the luxury tax, and they were trying to determine the likelihood of him hitting those. That sounds an awful lot like Favors, which would run contrary to the narrative that Favors was never offered in the Memphis deal.
He will almost definitely opt in. If you do the deal then Kelly is the upgrade at the big... we might still use MLE depending on what JC gets, but might use it on the wing. I think we should avoid the tax next year as we might be getting into the repeater tax if we did, but if you had KO expiring and Conley expiring then the repeater tax may not be a concern.I’d like Olynyk as well but I’d be worried about the cap ramifications of him opting in to next year.
I'd be content with either one. I think if you're making another addition like Bogut with picking up Leonard, then it gives you good versatility. But even if/when Olynyk picks yo his option, so long as we can still use the MLE, if we can without tax concerns, then that’s fine. All we would need is a 3/4 defender and we’re good. Olynyk isn’t quite 29 and he’s a guy we’ve liked before. DL big into cake baking and “keeping it together” is his MO.He will almost definitely opt in.

I'd prefer Leonard for cap reasons but I think Kelly is the better player.

Conley
Mitchell
Ingles
Bojan
Gobert
Clarkson
Royce
3/4 defender
Olynyk
Not a bad team. If we can use full MLE to upgrade Niang’s spot then we’re good
I think he’s saying trade those three guys to Minnesota and not take back salary, then make another deal for Olynyk with the trade exception.
You could probably send Davis and Mudiay to Minnesota and then combine the TPE and TB for Olynyk.
And exum, Burke, Burks, Allen, Lyles, Hood, maynor, the list just goes on and on...Your probably right, but I didn’t think Exum would ever net us someone like Clarkson.
the jazz seem to be very good at identifying good players on the cheap. Gobert, Korver, DM, and now Clarkson.
Probably? I don’t see this being remotely likely. Olynyk plays almost 20 minutes a game with deep playoff run aspirations. They’re not trading him for Bradley and the TPE. That makes no sense for them imo.
