Rudy to sign deal with Jazz

[Stoked]

I saw that there are 3 million in incentives but it doesn't say what they are.

So it is 90 million guaranteed with 3 million in annual incentives. That is the remaining 12 million (3 mill in incentives a year over 4 years = 12 million).

So question. What counts towards the cap? 90 million? 102 million? Or 90 million + the amount of incentives he actually earns?

That's even better.

That's awesome. I've long been of the opinion that more NBA contracts should be done with at least minor incentives.

Reports are that Gobert's contract only has 90 mil guaranteed. Is that normal in basketball? I know this is common in the NFL. I want to know if Gobert cut the Jazz a break here. Also read that there are no options on his deal. He will be here for 4 more seasons.

No, it's not common at all. It can be done, but usually the player doesn't go for it even in the case when the incentives seem like they will be obviously met. So Rudy definitely cut the Jazz a break, in my opinion.

If I recall correctly it depends on whether the incentives are categorized as "probable" or "not probable" by the NBA. If they are probable, then they count towards the cap. If they are not probable, then they don't. In this case we don't know what the incentives are, but it seems almost certain to me that they would fall into the probable category. I can't see Rudy agreeing to hard to reach incentives, he had too much leverage in this negotiation.

You need a Pride Hayward or Exum jersey!

Just not a fan of the Pride jerseys. I have a blue Hayward one. I also had a green Kanter one that I got rid off. Threw it in the trash.

I would look at Favors , Hood and Exum jerseys. Also the custom name 6th man jerseys.

Almost always the incentives count against the cap.

With Rudy Gobert's deal done, an extension for Derrick Favors could be the Jazz's next priority. "I love being here," Favors told ESPN. "Rudy is my guy. I'm happy for him that he got his deal. I'm proud of him really. I'm happy here. I'm happy being part of this team, being part of this franchise. When that time comes, me and my agent will talk about it." Favors' four-year, $47 million deal expires after the 2017-18 season, but he became eligible Oct. 19 to restructure his deal.

Props to Gobert for giving the Jazz a hometown discount - I get that he's making a lot of money, but he would've absolutely gotten the max in the offseason. There just aren't many players with his ability, we're really lucky to have him.

Totally.

I think it shows that he believes that we are gonna win. And he values winning over extra money. No "decision" drama, no big-city hype, just work hard and trust that we have the pieces to win.

Well the snowflake metro hipster Hayward is prolly gonna ruin all this good news, because Utah is not hipster enourgh for him. He needs to go where we wants to be a model I hear. What a D!

 

[Maneesh]
