luxury tax. By getting rid of Fav they are slated to pay 51 million by keeping Conley and Niang. Not sure what it will be with just Conley, but that’s a savings of 39 million in luxury tax by trading Favors. I assume they let Niang walk

Aren't they actually stressing over the ability to get other good players?

No, Conley has no impact on what utah can spend on other players.

Not necessarily. It seems like they unloaded Favors to minimize the luxury tax,

No whether he signs for 60 mill or 75 has no effect on the cap space available

It makes it easier to get under the cap though.

They won't be able to get under the cap for 3 years when Oneale and Clarkson end

Now I would be worried if I currently had the 6th highest payroll in the NBA
