Would Hayward take less than the max?

Jesus ****ing Christ. What "superstar" do you think Utahr will be able to lure here, dude? Get a reality check.

Only realistic scenario is giving up some combination of our young talent for Westbrook then offering him a max. Though if you did that, you would certainly max both Hayward/Westbrook so the point is mute. Both players would get maxed.
 
I do feel like the possibility of Westbrook is intriguing. I've read reports that the Lakers are confident they can sign him in the off-season and don't really want to give up their young talent to get him. That would leave Boston as the only real trade partner capable of delivering enough assets to get him. They could potentially try to lowball OKC to get him, and we could actually get him without giving up much. Westbrook would certainly change everything we want to do as a team, but the raw talent he would bring would be interesting.

And if we did that this season, there's zero guarantee Westbrook does re-sign here. For that reason, I'd never do it.

Yep. Other players have done it too.
(I think durant too less money in order to help the team be better in golden state iirc)

I just heard some audio of Pop talking about Duncan's retirement. No farewell tour, no calling attention to himself, not even a press conference. Pop said that if he could choose anyone in the world to have dinner with he would choose Timmy. Most genuine person he's ever known. Maybe Hayward will see that and think, "I'd rather go that route than the one Carmello is taking."

This post brings up a question that I would like to know the answer to.
If we offer Hayward the 5 year max can the yearly dollar amount be flexible or does the 5 year max have to be a certain amount.... The SUPERMAX.

Doesn't the 5 year max have to be a certain %of the cap or whatever? If yes, then he really can't take a discount unless he only goes with 4 years right?

I don't think this is correct. We can offer any contract up to the max, and we can offer up to 5 years because we have his Bird rights. There are restrictions on how much his pay can change (up or down) year to year.
 
This is a huge season for Favors. I'd say I'd love him to put up an 18/10 spot but that's never going to happen with the great depth we have. If he can put up 16/9 but raise his fg% to 52.5%, ft% to 74% and demonstrate a little more range with (and I'm really crossing my fingers here because I think this factors in huge to whether we keep him long-term or not) an ability to maybe hit the occasional 3 at about a 33-34% clip, I'd be thrilled.

Risk. If we are the 2nd best team in the West he could very well stay.

He could also very well leave.

I'd offer Hill, the GS 1st, the OKC 1st, and our own 2019 top 10 protected 1st.

So we can offer 5 years 27 million per or 5 years 30 million per or 5 years 32 million per?

There is no minimum, only a maximum we can offer with the 5 years?
