IMPORTANT for the Jazz: rumor about the new CBA regarding extensions!!!

[stitches]

According to Windhorst's sources, the new CBA will also include a rule change regarding contract extensions. Under the current agreement, teams cannot sign players to extensions until three years have elapsed after the signing their original deal. The next deal will reportedly shorten that mandated waiting period to two years.

I cannot stress how important this is for the Jazz! Especially if they decide to get the new CBA into effect right away rather than waiting for the current one to expire. According to Nate Duncan and Danny Leroux it is very possible that team owners will pass the new CBA and will want it to get into effect RIGHT AWAY specifically because of the extensions. If this indeed happens the ramifications for the Jazz are big! The biggest of them is - we will be able to extend Hayward before his contract is up and without him hitting FA. You know how we wondered why they spend so much capital to get rid off Pleiss since they probably could have given Favors max even without getting rid off Pleiss. If DL had some prior knowledge of where the negotiations about extensions are going, he might have seen an opportunity to clear space to sign BOTH Favors and Hayward to new contracts.

I hope this is the case.

Would this apply to rookie contracts? If so, let's say we used this to extend a rookie contract like Lyles. Would that make him an UFA after 6 years instead of 8.

It isn't clear but rookie-contract extensions are different than veteran extensions. Rookie contract extensions (as of now) can only be signed from the period after the July moratorium to October 31 before their last option year. Veteran extensions can be signed until the day before a player becomes a free agent.

Yeah, rookie contracts have been separate for a while. If I had to guess, the above concerns only vet extensions.

 

[The Midnight]

Do it.

The new CBA wouldnt be in effect til next year so I dont see how this deals with Hayward.

Right?

Right?

That's the thing. From what Nate Duncan and Leroux were saying on their podcast, it seems like the owners are pushing for the new CBA to get into effect right away and they want to do it specifically because of the extensions...

 

[Jazz4ever]

Don't see it as a huge deal. The chances of Hayward leaving seem slim.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Calm down.

This. We have bigger things to discuss like whether or not Ingles gets the late inbound duties.

This would be great. Would change things quite a bit for us.
