Gordo: Jazz Leading Per Minute Scorer. Extension?

[GVC]

Not even slightly. If he can have games that were 75% of what we saw last night but he has them every other game or so then he will be the reason this team gets through hard games. The offense runs about a million times better when it goes through Hayward.

1. You could easily see him getting $11.5mm per.
2. You wouldn't be willing to give him more than $8mm per in an extension.
3. You wouldn't trade him.

Am I missing something?

I agree with you but rookie contracts are for potential, your second contract is for your actual production. For Hayward's actual production is is in between 6-8 million.

Hayward brings in many things that do not show up on a stat sheet. I say 8-10 mill.

Edit: I voted 10 - 10.9 mill. I would be willing to go up to that if he maintains his production from December.

Yep, that I am cheap.

[Zulu]

Half of AK money, yes.

And the other half for Burks!!

[Zulu]

Now that there is a poll, I said 10-10.9 million!!!

Give this boy his money!!

[GVC]

Yep, that I am cheap.

Uh...Seems more stupid than cheap. What would you do if he signed an offer sheet for $10mm/year, given similar per minute production next season (with a bump in minutes)?

Match.

[GVC]

Match.

How likely do you think it is that Gordon regresses? How likely do you think it is Gordo signs an offer sheet worth less than $8mm per season if he doesn't regress? Less than $9mm per season?

I don't think it is likely. As I stated at the beginning, my number is based off of what he has done up to last night and not off of potential. Does that clear anything up?

[Zulu]

Awesome to see Gordo hits his stride 2 months earlier this season!'

That's built into the question. Up to last night, Gordo is the Jazz's leading per minute scorer, second most efficient scorer among regulars (by TS%), best wing defender and leader of one of the league's best second units.

You think it's unlikely he regresses. You think it's unlikely he gets offered less than your max figure in free agency. You'd match a contract $2mm over your max extension salary. Do you just like throwing money away?

When it is stuff that I like I throw money at it. So, yes, I like throwing money away.

So if given the opportunity to pay $9 today or $10 tomorrow for something you'd be willing to pay $10 for, you'd wait until tomorrow?

[orangello]

If it came down to it I wouldn't want to lose Hayward. I am not going to be like Memphis and overpay to keep someone on the team though. Try a small amount first and if he doesn't bite then be willing to match what the market brings to a certain extent. My breaking point is anything more than 12 million a year.
