Depending on who they get back in any potential trade for Lauri they'd have to make up $52M to get to that min threshold. Do they need to trade for someone like Zach Levine just to get to the cap? Do they have to get to that number by the start of the season or is there a date their books need to show $136M in salary?

Side note - regardless of what happens the Jazz will continue to sell out games and may be more profitable than they've ever been as a franchise. And that means more NIL money Ryan Smith can pour into BYU.
