Allstar Voting!

I hope, if Gobert is snubbed, he goes berserk and kills it the rest of the year. I'm pretty confident he has the mentality/drive/**** you attitude to do it.

Plus if our dudes aren't all stars don't we save money on contracts?

This assumes our players have the mentality of 5 year olds.

But with lesser money wouldn't they be less motivated with less financial space to get better?


To me if you play for Utah, in the NBA, you have to make the finals for national votes. Rudy averages insane rankings but does not matter, because trolling the ballot by electing Zaza as starter is more important for the people.

I don't blame them though. The event has become a joke and there is no place for defense you have to present landing cushions for people who try to dunk on you in AS games.

yeah ive voted every day, but we all know we aren't getting any guys voted in. ZaZa has 440k votes lmao. we're supposed to compete with the 7M+ (and national bandwagon) market of the bay area, 6.5M for houston, etc. etc. however gordon's and rudy's reps are their best shot at getting a reserve write-in spot.

or maybe it is simply because no jazz palyers are good enough. You complain about players in Bay area where aren't jazz players getting votes from France and Aussie? Simpoly doesn't matter because not a single jaz zplayer is an all star player, Just face the truth

No truth in all-star voting.

I'm guessing this is what you're talking about.

The salary in the first year of an extension to a rookie scale contract (other than for a team's Designated Player) may be any amount up to the player's maximum. This is usually the 0-6 year maximum, which is based on 25% of the salary cap (see question number 16). However, a player may receive up to the 7-9 year maximum, which is based on 30% of the cap, if he meets any of the following criteria (called the "5th Year 30% Max criteria"):

-Named to the All-NBA First, Second or Third team at least twice

-Voted as a starter in the All-Star game at least twice

-Named the NBA Most Valuable Player at least once

keep in mind a new CBA was just passed, and details of all the changes are not quite available yet, as far as I know. However, there is some info as to designated players, that suggests Rudy could be eligible for a bigger contract if he becomes DPOY.

Designated Player Extensions

Probably the largest and most significant change in the new NBA CBA is the change in how players can sign extensions.
First, extensions can be signed by players signed to three- or four-year deals after the second anniversary of their signing (a change from the third). These extensions can now be for a maximum of five years rather than four, and the first year salary can be a maximum of 120 percent (up from 107.5) of either the final year of the previous deal or the league average salary).
More importantly, the designated player extensions will apply to veterans entering their eighth or ninth year with their original franchise (or one they were traded to) who meet certain performance criteria (e.g. All-NBA team member or defensive player of the year in the previous season or two of the previous three, or MVP in previous three seasons). These players can be extended to super-max extensions.
Teams can only sign these extensions in the offseason and have two such spots per team. These players could earn between 30 and 35 percent of the salary cap in their first season.
This is almost certainly a reaction to Kevin Durant’s departure from Oklahoma City and designed to give especially small market franchises an extra advantage in keeping their own free agents. Critics of this addition will claim that it rewards franchises who have been unable to build around a superstar in an eight or nine year period.
It will apply to Stephen Curry (who is on pace to re-sign with a massive deal) this summer and could apply to Paul George and DeMarcus Cousins next year. It could also apply to players who have already signed long term extensions (e.g. Giannis Antetokounmpo) who meet the requirements retroactively.
Furthermore, teams can sign players to five-year max extensions as long as the deal does not go past their 38th birthday (up from 36). This is significant as many of the NBPA’s players in leadership positions (LeBron James at 32, Carmelo Anthony at 32, Chris Paul at 31) are likely to benefit from this new rule.

I'm guessing this is what you're talking about. You have to be a all-star starter twice and then it would only apply to rookie scale contract extensions. Both Hayward and Gobert are past the point where any of those things would qualify them for the Derrick Rose Rule, aka 5th year max criteria.

I actually edited out the part you quoted, as it wasn't completely accurate. However, the point is that neither Hayward nor Gobert would be affected right now by making the all star team. Gobert could still be eligible on his next contract.
