Powell/Bertans and cash for Conley/Gay gives them $1.7M cap now and gets them off Gay’s 2 year commitment. As said previously, Bertans money isn’t a big issue, they can buy him out in the offseason just like they could Conley and Bertans helps with their goal to tank. It gives us a ball handler and wing to accomplish the goals they set. Not that Gay is a playoff contributing wing, but Bullock and DFS would be supported on both ends having Conley and Maxi (now that there’s big support, he can play some big wing minutes) on both sides of them (so they don’t HAVE to play 40 mpg). Gay would be a decent regular season player and injury insurance.On this line of thought. We give $5M to the Jazz to help offset the cost to buy out Bertans next offseason. That essentially makes him cost that much less and the buy out only needs to be the $17M he’ll be owed as opposed to paying Conley $22M this year and buying him out at $15M next year. Lots of money relief for a tanking team with money issues.
Could also just do a simple Powell for Clarkson.
