OT: Utah Jazz luxtax situation

A lot of people have been talking about little deals that Utah might accept to get under the luxury tax. But if the luxury tax is set at 69 million for this season and their salaries equal a whopping 77 million, is it even possible for them to get under the luxury tax?

I was just curious and wondering if someone that knows more about caps and such might be able to help.

They clipped a lot of salary in the Maynor deal a couple weeks back, and some of the normal sources haven't up-dated yet. I suggest you use Wyn's -- he's been on these things the minute they happen.
