Under the new CBA a team that is under the luxury tax can trade a player to another team also under the tax if the contracts are within 150% of each other. In addition, if two teams both under the luxury tax make a trade the players can be 100% of each other plus 5 million dollars.
So what does all this gobbley gook mean? It means if the Jazz do not sign another player and maintain their salary at around the 62 million it sits at right now they could do some really interesting things come the trade deadline.
The luxury tax sits at 70 million and the Jazz are not going to go over the luxury tax this season. Therefore, you should view 70 million as an unbreakable wall. Right now the Jazz could add nearly 8 million without going over the luxury tax. This is the key to how the Jazz could take advantage of the new rule.
For example, if the Jazz were to trade CJ Miles, Raja Bell they may be able to acquire some serious talent. CJ Miles contract is 3.7 million under the old rules the Jazz would have only been able to bring a player in with a contract of 4.6. Under the new CBA they could acquire a player from 1 million to 8.7 million. Under the new rules Raja Bell can be moved for a player of up to 8.2 million and Paul Millsap at 6.7 could bring a player of 11.7 million.
The real issue is if the Jazz can keep their contracts under 64 million they can make a deal with a 5 million dollar difference without going over the luxury tax.
There will be plenty of teams looking to cut salary and maybe a few teams that need to get under the 70 million dollar threshold.
Some players that could be available at some point
Atlanta’s Marvin Williams (3 year 22 million)
Chicago’s Kyle Korver (2 year 10 million)
Golden State’s Andris Biedrins (3 year 27 million)
Memphis OJ Mayo (2 year 13 million)
New Jersey’s Anthony Morrow (2 year 8 million)
New Orleans’s Trevor Ariza (3 year 21 million)
Orlando’s JJ Reddick (2 year 12.45 million)
Philadelphia’s Andre Iguodala (3 years 42 million) would have to get to 8.5 million
Portland’s Gerald Wallace (2 year 22 million)
None of these names blow you away but the flexibility is important and you never know what other combinations might become available.
