Honest mistake

How do we get Lance at $6M per.

He said he'd be willing to sign him at $6mm, and willing to match up to $13mm for Hayward.

Can he play SF?

Lololol.

Jazz will either match the offer or do a sign and trade. Gordon has to be signing this praying we match... Locke mentioned that he really doesn't like Cleveland.

Jazz won't get much in return in a sign and trade from a team that can sign Gordo outright.

No they can't he is restricted, Jazz obviously hold all the cards here.

Probably right... But you tell them the price is steep but that you'll just match it unless they send something decent back. We'll also tie up their flexibility for 10 days (since FA can't sign until the 10th and we'd have 3 days to match) They may call our bluff, but we still hold the cards here. We ain't getting Wiggins, but we could get a first rounder or two (they own Miami's which would be late). The Cavs have held out hope for Lebron... they may feel like they have to get something and Hayward is the last piece that makes sense for them. Between their desperation to get something and the threat of tying up their cap space we could certainly get a first rounder.

Just checked some Cavs message boards. They aren't too excited.

Precedent? Can you name a team that received good players/picks in a sign-and-trade from a team with the cap space to sign the player without dumping salary?

 

[fishonjazz]

Is he going to defend with the top of his head? Aren't reach/wingspan better measures for wing defenders?

I get this arguement but why are no other teams putting 6 foot 5 guys at starting sf if they have long wingspans/standing reach?
I do think height plays a part too.
Oladipo has really long arms (iirc) wonder why he doesnt play sf

Marc Stein a few minutes ago:

Various versions continue to circulate but most popular had Jazz offer to Hayward topping out at four years, $48M ... with GH seeking 4/52

I believe Joe Johnson from Phx to Atlanta had a few first rounders involved and Boris Diaw. I think most teams have just matched, but i believe Minny was willing to send assets to Portland to get them to not match, but Portland just matched anyway.
