Jazz, George Hill taking contract talks down to wire

[David Stern]

you don't know why a player would say no to giving a discount?

Well it's obviously not a discount if you add in the $14 million he'd be making for no reason this season

lmao if this happens. Cant wait to see those people complaining about DL's cap-space usage backpedal.

THIS!!! The morons on this forum that think they are GMs in waiting badmouthing DL and the Miller's don't know what the hell they are talking about.

Depends on how much that discount adds up to compared to that 14 mill.

RealGM - George Hill, Jazz In Talks On Extension

The Utah Jazz and George Hill are engaged in talks on a contract extension before Tuesday's deadline.
Hill has recently declined to discuss a potential contract extension but told ESPN in November that he was "very interested" in the idea. Sources said the Jazz are determined to keep Hill for the long term even if extension terms can't be reached Tuesday and Hill decides he would rather test the open market starting July 1.
The Jazz can give Hill the remainder of their cap space this season and an extension of up to three years with annual raises of 7.5 percent.
The best offer Utah can make Hill is for $88.3 million to be committed to the Jazz through the 2019-20 season, which computes to a three-year, $74.7 million extension plus $13.6 million this season.

T. Jones Just tweeted "League source tells Tribune Hill wants extension as much as Jazz want to extend him. This is a mutual thing."

3 years 75 is the most they can go, according to the article.
