Help a n00b out: When does Gobert receive an extension?

On the other hand, Rudy is very motivated by being slighted. I'd hate to see the Jazz lowball him and have that energy turned inward instead of outward.

I think there's a way to do it. Maybe you have Hayward, Favors and Rudy in a room together with their agents and outline the financial outlook of the Jazz. Don't have them agree or disagree in the meeting, just lay out the general parameters. Show the Cavs model vs. the Spurs and W's - i.e. if those three want max or near max, they could have it, but understand the rest of the team would then consist of mainly lower-tier vets or guys on rookie contracts.
 
The new CBA and the new cap, via the TV deal, will allow teams to max out at least 3 players. We'll be playing out the next few identifying our maxed players and keep them. Right now it looks like Gobert, Hayward, and Favors. We'll see.
 
I think we can pay Rudy part of his contract in cheese. French like all those fancy kinds. Just promise to put a cheese plate in his hotel room every night on the road. Just my impression and maybe I'm WAY off base, but Rudy strikes me as the type to give Utah a discount. I can't read Hayward.
Seems pretty likely that Hayward is going to go for the max he can get based on his last round of negotiations.
 
I think he needs to do that twice. If he were voted league MVP, he'd only have to do it 1x. Pretty significant, though, if he wants the full 30% because Hayward will also be eligible for 30% based upon 7 years in the league at that point. Jazz are going to have serious money problems even under the new cap if everyone wants max amount.

I know, but if he does that next year, there is a pretty good chance he could in 2016-2017 if he stays healthy. He'd sign the 5 year contract at 25 % to be eligible, then if he got a second All NBA or All star, then he would get the 30%.

Yes, exactly. I believe that was the case with Paul George.

Just curious but does anyone know how many players that have max contracts have never had an all-star appearance?

There`s gonna be a lot of them this year I think. With the rising cap, it really is no big deal to give rookies their max extension under the currant CBA.

Chandler Parsons and Gordon are the 2 I know in this category now.
