The Jazz may have more luck moving out of Jordan Clarkson ($13.3 million for 2022-23) and Beasley ($15.6 million). Unless there's a massive deal for Westbrook's salary, the Jazz may be better off holding onto both players until they're in the final years of their deals. Utah may be able to work him into a more significant deal, but Gay isn't likely to spark any suitors. Gay, 36, is like Conley on a much smaller scale at $6.2 million and $6.5 million (player option) over the next two seasons.
Would the Phoenix Suns gamble that Conley has more to offer as a backup to Chris Paul? Getting the math to work would be highly complicated (but not impossible). That's a big question mark for a contender: Will the (nearly) 35-year-old point guard have the legs for a playoff run? That risk may be too much for most at $22.7 million and $24.4 million over the next two seasons (the final year is only $14.3 million guaranteed). "Ĭonley fell off significantly in the playoffs against the Mavericks (20 percent from three). "He's over the hill," one executive said. While Conley was relatively solid last season (72 games played, 40.8 percent shooting from three-point range), the Jazz may struggle to find a team willing to take on his contract. Others looking at Bogdanovic could include teams like the Memphis Grizzlies, Miami Heat and Sacramento Kings. The Lakers may be open to taking Bogdanovic and other pieces from the Jazz for the veteran guard but aren't eager to give up a first-round pick. That's more expensive (and over a much longer period) than Russell Westbrook's $47.1 million expiring salary. The Jazz would undoubtedly demand a first to take on his $49 million owed over three seasons. Similarly, the Dallas Mavericks might be able to get out of Davis Bertans for Bogdanovic. Utah may have no interest in a three-year, $54.3 million investment in White. For instance, if Boston wanted to add a wing after losing Danilo Gallinari to a knee injury, the Celtics probably need to include Derrick White. While the Jazz may have suitors, the challenge could be matching Bogdanovic's $19.6 million expiring salary. "I could see a lot of teams wanting Bojan. Pencil the following nine on the opening night roster: Agbaji, Alexander-Walker, Azubuike, Butler, Fontecchio, Horton-Tucker, Kessler, Markkanen and Sexton.īojan Bogdanovic may hold the most appeal of the veterans the Jazz seem willing to part with. Finally, rookie wing Simone Fontecchio got a solid, fully guaranteed $6.3 million two-year deal. Of the four, Kessler is the key prospect from the Gobert trade. The team also picked up Malik Beasley, Leandro Bolmaro, Walker Kessler and Jarred Vanderbilt from Minnesota. Horton-Tucker and a few younger returning players (Jared Butler, Udoka Azubuike and Nickeil Alexander-Walker) will likely get an opportunity to prove themselves with the Cleveland newcomers.
Patrick Beverley, part of the return for Gobert from the Minnesota Timberwolves, was already shipped off to the Los Angeles Lakers for Talen Horton-Tucker and Stanley Johnson. The players from the Cleveland Cavaliers for Mitchell (Ochai Agbaji, Lauri Markkanen and Sexton) appear to be keepers. Since teams under the tax last season got a $10.5 million kickback from those who were over, trimming salary may be good business for the Jazz.
