The idea of entering an NBA off-season with cap room is great on paper. But turning even a relatively clean salary sheet into actual cap space requires some tough decisions.
This salary tool will estimate the cap space Utah will have in July 2019 depending on the decisions they make between now and then. For the Jazz to create space to go after your favorite free agent or trade target, they’d need to make decisions on existing contracts, non-guaranteed options, free agents and more.
For reference: I’m using a 2019 cap estimate of $109M, which means a max free agent will make a starting salary of roughly $27 million (if he has fewer than 7 years of experience), $33 million (7 to 9 years) or $38 million (10+ years).
Be sure to make a selection on each item and the tool will register your choice. It’s relatively self-explanatory, but just in case:
The tool will work on mobile devices, but displays a little cleaner on a desktop or laptop. Thanks to Adam Back and Ryan Hess for helping me figure out the coding that makes this tool work.

Based on your selections, will the Jazz operate as an under-the-cap team or as an exceptions team?
