They can sign three year extensions now, starting at 105% of the last year of their current salaries, and do exactly that while being paid a lot more.
Well darn you, captain buzzkill.

GO check above - all of my final numbers include money actually paid out, including the luxury tax.
the problem is the Jazz are talking to several other teams and may wait to find a better deal.

Reading everything you and Mags have wrote and I understand what Mags is saying. IMO you thinks it would be fairly easy to find a better deal saving money which I disagree, it might happen but the likely hood is it will be tough
First things first, how many teams are the the cap to absorb Boozer contract? If they aren't teams that can absorb some of his contract all they can do is save 25% of his in trades
Also if teams aren't under the cap which teams have a 5-6mil TPE to take a Korver or Harpring back without putting themselves in the LT territory?
Yes if they can find a team with a TPE worth the amount of Miles, Korver or Harpring then it beats the Bulls saving but if they can't then the Bulls deal is the next best thing.
This is from T9the problem is the Jazz are talking to several other teams and may wait to find a better deal.
The Bulls offer won't top a team with a TPE but what teams have them and if they do will using the TPE put that team over the LT themself

In a memo announcing next season's salary cap and luxury-tax threshold, sent out shortly before the league's annual July moratorium on signings and trades was lifted at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday, NBA teams also received tentative projections from the league warning that the cap is estimated to drop to somewhere between $50.4 million and $53.6 million for the 2010-11 season.
The official league memorandum, obtained by ESPN.com, forecasts a dip in basketball-related income in the 2009-10 season of 2.5 percent to 5 percent, which threatens to take the 2010-11 cap down some $5 million to $8 million from last season's $58.7 million salary cap.

Tyrus, James, Nelson and Linton for Boozer and CJ Miles
How much would that save them plus add in James being 80% covered

We can't use the 80% on James' contract. That's the entire problem. It's not going to be valid.

A bad workman always blames something else even when the something else isn't at fault.
Players' maximum salaries are never less than 105% of their previous salary. For example, a ten-year veteran who earned $20 million in 2006-07 has a maximum salary of $22.1 million in 2007-08, even though that is above the league-wide maximum. A free agent does not need to remain with the same team in order to receive 105% of his previous salary, although the team that signs him is subject to the same salary cap restrictions as with any other free agent.

No where has it said he'll be able to play, just that this injury players have came back from so he won't be medically retired
So if James can't play wouldn't the insurance still cover his contract

It would. But not on paper, which presents a problem. Utah will save $5.4 million, but they would still have $6.6 million counting on their cap.
Ralphb07 wrote:But there going to have that 6.6 counting against the cap regardless of what trade they make unless they find a TE
SO IF they can't get that TE savings, 5.4mil is better than not saving anything which for some reason you're not understanding
Mags nor I are saying that the deal is better than getting a TE for one of their players, what I'm saying is the likely hood of them getting one isn't too good IMO
You not understanding that is giving me a headache
Oh by the way I found the underline too
