Rudy to sign deal with Jazz

[NUMBERICA]

This is a good deal.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

They did that so they would have cap to sign Lamarcus Aldridge.

?

Yeah, that's why signing max extensions isn't always a no brainer. If the player is willing to take a discount for security then yeah, it is a much easier choice.

Too bad they drafted Trey Burke over Dennis Schroder.. These extensions would be even more glorious. His contract is a great bargain for ATL moving forward.

Spoiler

Then the Jazz make the playoffs last season and use the 1st rd pick on Wade Baldwin (whos physical profile is very similar to Hill's and he looks like a competent defender already)

sign Harrison Barnes and keep Chris Johnson instead of Joe Johnson + trading for Diaw..

Team would be better and much younger.

Another epic performance from your boy yesterday 10 pets 0 assists for Max Barnes

If you are absolutely sure that a restricted agent will sign with you, then yeah. If they sign elsewhere and you match it could just as easily screw you with the last year player option. Better to control your own fate in most cases except that one throwaway "everyone has a max slot" year.

Fantastic deal. Ok, I didn't even read the amount but I don't care. He's an elite interior defender, he's making efforts to improve his offense (just his improvement on FTs alone is great), and he gives a **** and gives effort out there. I'm thrilled he'll be here in his prime.

They were absolutely sure, he told them as much.

You can't compare it to the Hayward situation because DL was playing hardball.

I'm glad, but these amounts made my head swim.

I get it, but on the other hand it makes no difference to me if it goes to Gobert or the Millers, who are way more obscenely wealthy. Wish some of it were going to me, but I'm not like good at basketball, sigh.

 

[Nate505]

I agree. $100,000,000.00 is a TON of coin. Happy for him for sure but there is just mad money in sports. But you know Rudy will work as hard as ever no matter how much he makes.

Yeah, that's the other great thing about Gobert. I'm not saying he could never slack off, but I just don't see it and would be stunned to see it. He wants to be great.

 

[Gameface]

I guess it's also what you do with the jersey? If you're gonna play basketball with it and you're a guard, it would 'look' funny wearing Gobert's jersey.


But with Hayward because he plays SG, SF, PF (potentially), one could argue it's a more versatile jersey to have.

You are one weird guy.

 

[RandyForRubio]

You are one weird guy.

It's pretty incredible tbh

 

[MDAV28]

Glad they got the deal done. He is worth it. Complete game changer on one side of the floor and desire to be great.

I agree with everyone saying the right move was to get it done now.

 

[The Midnight]

He is GREAT defensively, there is no question about that.


But for Hassan Whiteside signed for the same money and he gives you so much more offensively.


I wonder how much work he does offensively during the offseason? I haven't seen much improvements unfortunately year-to-year.
