Sources: Dmo to sign with Jazz if Favors misses extended time

Somebody pls correct if i am wrong. Jazz is using their DPE for Favors, I think that it does not have yo be just signing but uou can actually trade for a player . We might be able to get something out of this

 

I'd probably match if it's for no more two years, ~12MM per. Anything more in terms of dollars or years and the Jazz can have him.

 

BJ is a genius.

 

Yikes that is quite a bit of cap space. With the cap expected to go up next year they might be able to do make a sizeable offer. When is the last time a some one under the age of 27 willing went to Utah to play Nba basketball.

 

Yeah, but they want/need to extend Hayward, Hill, and Rodney Hood pretty soon. Favors too, though if the knee injury is serious (and with all the weird nagging ailments he's had the last 2-3 seasons), they may decide to walk away from him if they get D-Mo and he stays healthy. Plus Gobert's deal kicks in soon. So there's a chance they'll be gun-shy about offering Donatas more than a couple years.

We'll see.

 

Deal 1
D-Mo: *Signs Contract*
D-Morey: "Terms have been decided. Market decided the rate of restricted status"
*Matches Contract*

Deal 2
D-Mo: *Signs Contract
D-Morey: "What Hold up - its got a 'Player Option'...? And, a TRADE KICKER?! Hurtin my flexibilities PSSHHht NAH we don't play that sh** HERE

'Yule-C' Ya LATER! Lol"

 

And then we can match

 

Don't you mean Yule C

 

Anything more than 13 per year let him walk

I don't know if D-Mo is eligible for a poison pill type contract

 

Oh God that would be a nightmare.

 

Utah knows what to do if they actually want to obtain him #ParsonsPoisonPill

If they want to smite their future and maybe give us a chance at Hayward next year, then it could be a good thing. You just have to hope that Utah throws enough money at him.

 

Brilliant.

dmo just go.

 

They have roughly 14 million in cap space for this year so yeah they can sign him.

However, the Jazz aren't dumb and they know what the Rockets offer was before they pulled it. It was fairly well publicized, and they know D-Mo has no leverage to turn down ANYTHING remotely close to what the Rockets offer was. I think they'd be nuts to offer anything more than 8 mil this year for D-Mo because frankly they don't have to bid against themselves.

But.... Keep in mind its RFA so the Jazz aren't going to present an offer that they think the Rockets will easily match. More than likely though, they know what will push the Rockets to let D-Mo walk will be guaranteed years beyond this year. I think that's where you'll see them get crafty with the contract if they are in fact offering him one.

The big question is, will D-Mo's contract here be enough to keep them out of free agency next Summer, and will the player/s they want to sign be more valuable in the longrun than D-Mo???

There are some interesting names this Summer - Hayward, Igoudala, Gallinari, Noel, and Gay are some names I'll be watching going into this Summer. That 3/4 spot upgrade will be huge if they can get Hayward especially, but will have to dump some more salary to get to where they'd need to be to sign him.

What the Rockets do here with matching D-Mo's offer should tell us pretty much what we need to know about next Summer. I think they match any reasonable 1 year deal. Anything more and I think they struggle to see a bridge too far to cross to get who they want in FA.

 

I'm excited to hear this news for one reason and that is because this signifies that Dmo will be closer to being back on the court soon. Whether he stays a Rocket depends on how much the Jazz offer him but I'm glad to see something finally shake off this stupid standoff from BJ Armstrong trying to force the issue when he has absolutely no leverage. He's killing D-mo's career. Let the guy start playing basketball again and prove his worth. It's that simple.

 

So how does DMo signing with the Jazz result in a SnT for Rubio? I'm confused.

 

Jazz fans are probably heading to this board for the first time and seeing these 50 page threads on DMo. BJ brilliance

 

Dayl C!

 

Pre injury DMo was headed towards getting paid, what...21-22/yr ?

 

Probably more like 15.
