Now that we have signed Danillo with the mid level I don't understand how we're supposed to add another guy like hypothetically Dwight Howard. Are we supposed to sign them into the trad exceptions we have and eat more tax? I think the C's are looking at who will take a vet min deal at this point. Dwight's been on vet min deals the last 3 seasons.

After initially saying Donovan Mitchell wasn't going to be traded, UTA is now fielding offers for him.
After moving Rudy Gobert for a load of draft picks, moving Mitchell is clear indication that the Jazz are heading into a rebuild.
Guess they brought in the right guy for that.

That Gobert trade has the potential to be a great move for Utah. Soooo many unprotected picks

If things go well for MIN, I think they can be the 5th or 6th team in the West. And being a young team, they could be a playoff team for some time.
UTA might be getting picks in the early 20's from MIN.

It's unfortunate since they're my home team, but I'll always bet on the Wolves screwing things up lol. I certainly wouldn't be shocked if KAT asks out of Minny if they don't have quick success.

For me, it's a Yes for Matt Ryan, and a No for Justin Jackson and Broderick Thomas.

Wait, is Karalis saying we can combine a player's rights and a TPE to trade for X player? I thought TPE's can't be combined with anyone or anything else.

I did not realize Juhann was 19. I thought he was more like 22. I think that changes everything. At 19 he's just as good as the 25 year olds (Brodric Thomas and Matt Ryan) and the 27 year old (Justin Jackson) give or take. Or at least he would be by the end of the year.
It's important to get this guy under a good contract.
JD and Kabengele are signed to the two ways
That leaves 3 spots.
I think you take Ryan, Brodric, and Juhann. Between those guys, JD, and Hauser a legit 3 and D guy is going to emerge. You're going to need your own version of Pat Connaughton or Max Struss or Duncan Robinson, and now you have fine candidates.
I think you also say to Justin Jackson and Trevion Williams "Stay fit because we'll probably sign you to some 10 day contracts. Brogdon and Rob Williams and Smart get hurt all the time. The backup center is 36. Hauser and Ryan are hurt right now and Hauser was hurt in the playoffs. Jaylen and Tatum are way overdue. We're going to need you."
Try to get those guys to Maine.
Meantime try to get a Dwight Howard. Trade Pritchard if it makes sense.
These guys are capable of being what is needed. They need to keep some minutes off our regulars and be a strong practice guy. And cheap.

I thought TPE's can't be combined with anyone or anything else. you're right, they cannot. the only loophole i can think of is maybe you can attach the rights to a player (since 2nd rounders dont have a guaranteed contract like 1st rounder do?). Once he's signed to a deal he wouldn't be able to be paired with a TPE.

Yep that as well. we trade the tpe for the bigger salary vet player, then do a separate trade where you trade Juhann and a pick(s) for some end of the bench guy on a small non-guaranteed contract.

Looks like the 17.1MIL TPE will not be used, and therefore expire. But that's ok cause our team is in good shape. And we still have other (dmaller) TPE's to use.
Still hoping we get an athletic and defensive oriented Wing and a Big who is better than Kornet (though I am curious and optimistic about Luke).

Trevion Williams signs an Exhibit 10 contract with the Warriors (I think it's basically a camp invite).
Would hate for the Warriors to make Trevion look like Magic.
