GORDON MISSES ALL-TEAM

[LifeOnaPlate]

Six weeks ain't so bad. Better than a whole season like we've seen with other teams and other guys.

I think that's why he said it was bad. Had he made it we could have paid him WAY more than any other team. Since he didn't we can only pay him marginally more than any other team. So if there's a situation he sees as more desirable he might figure it'd be worth giving up the relatively small amount more Utah can give him to get into a better situation.

Okay, so now the Jazz can guarantee $179 million and some other team can guarantee $133 million. That's closer to 25% different, than 5%.

Would have been a lot of change for him, so if he wants to stay, it's a cheaper deal which gives us flexibility.

Well look it on the bright side. At least it means he's staying. Sorta.

$46 million difference -- a drop in the proverbial bucket

It's a good thing. He isn't leaving and now we can save that extra money and spend it on other players.

I dont think we can really spend extra money just cuz Gordon won't make 5% more, but the LT will probably be less severe if we do go into it.

I probably should have concerns about losing him but I don't. It's not a logical thing for me though logic does tell me Boston needs much, much more than another wing. Their frontcourt is awful.

But for me, it's my gut. Utah is home and he wants it that way. And any perceived snubbing is a good thing. He may work his *** off harder than before and take yet another leap next season.

How are you computing "5% more"?

Not really. We can guarantee 179/5 = 35.8 million per year compared to 133/4 = 33.25 million per year, a difference of 2.55 million per year.

When you factor in that Utah's taxes are dead in the middle of the US, Hayward would probably make more money going to Miami or Texas.

Also, with ESPN struggling and paying most of their contracts, it might be better to get one more deal in 4 years vs 5 because salaries will drop big time if the tv viewing habits continue the way they've been.

We can offer 5% more a year than the Celts can. We can offer him a 5 year contract. and not sure that's a big concern given how much higher the cap will be in 2021.

Isnt that what the DPE is? They can get 5% more of the cap than their normal max.
