If the Jazz maximize utilizing their exceptions and guarantee Hernangomez’s $7.4 million salary, they could be looking at a luxury tax payment in the $70 million range provided they don’t reduce the payroll elsewhere. In comparison, they paid a $19 million payment for this season after reducing it by as much as $15 million prior to the trade deadline. Unless they make a significant upgrade, they’re likely to keep expenses at a similar level as this past season.
