Mike has already made about 200 mil
How much does one still need to be set for life
He would have to take much less than any where else to stay here
Maybe he would?

That would make sense if he wasn't taking money from a billionaire. It's really hard to justify playing for less than your worth when a multi billionaire is cutting the checks and making a fortune off the team in the long run

Morgan and Brantley just won't figure into any real future the Jazz have. The best case is something like Niang, and we already have a Niang. Our hope lies with Oni, Doke, and Hughes.

I think Morgan is going to stick around - they can get him on a super cheap team option deal and he's insurance in case Niang gets a UFA offer too good to pass up.

Niang getting the bag would probably mean a championship for us, or close to it. We could replace him with a ring chaser at that point.

They don’t always include an amnesty in the new cba.

Also there are lots of ways to replace Favs. He’s valuable for sure but a stretch five could open up some things offensively... same thing with a passing big... Boucher in Toronto blocks shots and hits threes and he signed for slightly less than Favs. I love Favs he’s great... of our top 8 guys he might be the easiest to replace.

Investing in a center to replace your backup center in 3 years is some of the dumbest asset planning I can think of. Unless you have an injury he has no way to get on the floor. Even a guy like Tillman might have had a chance to play some along those guys. The Dok pick was dumb... he could be the next coming of Clint Capela we may not find out until year 4.

Centers take a while to develop. Hell, there were like 3 of us that believed in Gobert after his entire rookie season. 75% of the board would have traded him for a late first. If the Jazz want the ideal backup for Rudy, especially when we have to reduce Rudy's minutes we will need to develop him. Nobody else uses the position like we do.
 
I'm past looking at all the salary cap business. I don't know what the circumstances are, but I think Mike is staying at this point. You just don't get fits like he is in any business and you figure it out.
 
I think so much depends on playoff performance. First or second round disappointment and I think pieces will fall off the roster. Decent WCF showing and I think there will be a priority list and some sacrifices will have to be made. Finals, and really a finals win, I think they open the pocket book and try to make another run next year.

Yes can only go up or down 8% of the previous years value. So could do 20M, 18.4M, 16.9M... not that big of a benefit.

Could do like 3/45 and have the final year only like 3M guaranteed. Spreads the cap hit a bit and gives him extra money if he’s cooked by then.

But that's within the same contract. When he expires, they could (in theory) sign him to veteran's minimum, right?

Huh... why would he accept a minimum deal.
