To add, even if the Favs and JC contracts are flat, they'd start at 22, leaving slightly more than enough for the Jazz to use the BAE.

No.

The Jazz's 6 guaranteed guys + 2 draft picks get them to 106.5. Oni, Morgan, Niang and Brantley add maybe 6 to 112.5. That's 11 or 12 players with the Jazz 26.5 under the apron. Favs and JC could start as low as 20.2 in 20/21 if they're given max raises (sounds like they won't be). So...the...

Can you not see my posts?

It'll depend (at least in part) on how the Favs and JC contracts are structured. If the Jazz are willing to pay the tax, they might as well use the BAE, provided there's a worthwhile player to use it on.

It's not entirely clear to me why that's necessarily out of the question. Presumably, you can get either of those guys with the BAE, and the Favs and JC contracts could be structured such that there's plenty of room under the apron to use it. At least two people, including David Locke, are...

Conley Clarkson Mitchell O'Neale Ingles Bogdanovic Favors Gobert A fair bit of talent there. No one new to integrate really; should be a fun team to watch. Unfortunately, still at least one piece away from contending.

Sure. Wouldn't amount to any/much more than veteran minimums if split. But...a couple people are reporting the Jazz are already above the LT and at 14 players, so it sounds like the Jazz are done.

Seems premature unless Locked knows how the contracts have been structured (entirely possible, I guess).

Depends on how the contracts are structured. If Favs got the full MLE, it means his salary decreases over the 3 years. Same could be true of JC (?).

Unless the Jazz are making trades, it's probably it. This + bringing back the non-guaranteed guys and minimum contract players. If the Jazz are willing to pay a bit of luxury tax, they have the bi-annual exception (BAE), which starts at $3.6 million. That's all they can do.

Don't think so. 6 guaranteed players + Azubuike and Hughes brought salaries to about $106.5 mil. If Favs and JC are getting max raises, they'd combine for about $20.2 mil in 20/21. LT is at 132.6 mil, apron is at $138.9 mil. So the Jazz have plenty of space under the apron for their...

Stupid.

Edit: It's about 30% more than the MLE with max raises.

So with max raises, about $11.6 next year. Tight for the Jazz if they want to use the full MLE and stay under the LT. Still some work to do.

Yup. The Jazz are effectively over the cap with or without JC (in any event, the MLE + BAE are worth a lot more than what little cap space they might have without JC). Which is why doing something with JC is an absolute imperative--re-signing or using in an S&T (the rules of which I'd need to...

But those minimum players might have some NBA experience, in which case the minimum salary is higher. Additionally, the Jazz have some non-guaranteed players making more than a minimum player with the equivalent experience. Which is why it's simpler (and equally correct) to start with the full...

If you're interested in the current cap situation, sure, but that's not the point of this exercise. The Jazz have about $26 million under the LT* to add 6 or 7 players by some combination of: re-signing JC, retaining current players on non-guaranteed contracts, using the MLE and BAE, and...

The point is to show how much money the jazz have to fill the roster, so it makes no sense to include roster holds. The Jazz have $26 million under the LT to sign 6 or 7 players.

Outside of re-signing JC and using the MLE and BAE, the Jazz are only permitted to sign minimum players, just like every other team over the salary cap. If JC signs a contract starting at ~$10 mil, the Jazz have plenty of room under the LT to use the full MLE. If they're willing to creep into...
