Got to say, to be 35-19 without Tatum and the 2 seed in the East is actually bonkers.

Seriously, just take a step back and consider it. We went from thinking about tanking or even wondering if they'd reach 35-40 wins, to they've reached 35 wins before the All-Star Break lol. Easily on pace for 50+ wins too. And then they likely add Tatum in March  :)

This East is there for the taking. Not saying we definitely will win it, and it also depends how Tatum looks. But no team, not even DET/NY is "invincible" looking.

Also, Vucevic was a sneaky good add not just for this year but potentially the next 2-3 years. The age might seem a bit scary but Horford was still very effective here in his age 35-38 years seasons. Vucevic has been a durable guy and he's basically a walking double-double most nights on the court.

If they can add another productive player this offseason to go with Vucevic-Tatum-Jaylen-White-PP and a decent bench of Queta/Hauser/Hugo/Walsh, that's the next iteration of our championship team. Hell, if Simons wanted to come back on a discounted deal to be a microwave scorer off the bench for us I'm all for that too if nothing else materializes.

Thank you!

So the non tax MLE threshold of $15,139,000 would pertain to signing other UFA, say Anf Simmons for example, since we have no cap space?

Correct.

I'm not sure he'd even be a great fit tbh.  Sochan overlaps with some guys who arguably already don't get as many minutes as they should.  Probably a better small ball big than the guys we have, but that role is not in such high demand that I'm making a roster move to fill it.

We're good at forward with JB, Hauser, Walsh, Gonzalez.  Even better if we get Tatum back.  At big we have Queta, Vuc, a little bit of Garza depending on matchups, Amari in an emergency.  If we really need somebody to man the 5 in a small ball lineup just use Walsh.  No room for Sochan imo, cap space or no cap space.  We actually could use a guard off the bench though, so hopefully Harper can help us there.

Chris Haynes: BREAKING: Utah Jazz star Jaren Jackson Jr. is likely to miss the remainder of the season to undergo surgery on his left knee to ensure his longterm health after a localized PVNS growth was discovered post trade, league sources tell me.

AI says:

Quote
Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS), also known as tenosynovial giant cell tumor, is a rare, benign, but locally aggressive tumor that causes the joint lining (synovium) to thicken and overgrow, typically in the knee or hip. It causes pain, swelling, and reduced range of motion, often requiring surgical removal (synovectomy) due to a high rate of recurrence

This is so weird. He passed the physical and then a few days later this condition shows up? At least it makes Utah?s tanking easier.

Wonder if there might be any interest in Jeremy Sochan.  I see that he was waived by the Spurs, don't know the details though.

He would be too expensive for us to sign until the last week or so of the season.  We basically have no financial wiggle room to sign non-rookies if the team wants to stay below the tax (which they do).

He'd be a nice fit but I guess that the money would over ride that...

That sounds painful as hell.

It'll happen that Utah tank job, though.

Ouch.  He did give them a little glimpse into the potential a great fit there though.
wonder if Utah can amend the trade deal to get back an asset or 2

I think they're probably perfectly happy with how it works out.  They got to see a little bit of how well he could work with LM and they can still tank.  Doesn't sound like he has any permanent damage from it.
