Jazz always bid against themselves. I hope that third year is a team option with a low buy out. Sorry but 25 million a year is just too much money considering his injury history. His hamstring is not reliable. Who is going to pay him that much money at his age and with his injury history? No one but the Jazz. Oh well it isn't my money.

If Mike can remain healthy we will be okay. It is still possible. CP3 had a lot of health issues his whole career and yet was relatively healthy all season this year at age 36. Btw I know Mike is not as good as CP3, but CP3 is expected to opt out and get like 3 years $100 million from Phoenix at age 36. It's just the market unfortunately. If that 3rd year is a team option, it would be a huge win.

I would rather have Lonzo or Rozier at $20 per year the next 4 years than Conley here at $75 the next 3.
I don't have faith in Mike. Sure he helps make our offense purr, but we get exposed on defense.

Lowry and CP3 are about to get $5 million more per year than that. It sucks but it's what the market is.
People need to stop saying if he can stay healthy. He CANNOT stay healthy. He has been hurt both seasons we have had him. Has he ever played a full season? Some people going to hope his hamstring issues are over. Come on. People say this is the market. Perhaps but the market is what someone is willing to pay. When do franchises say yea we like you but not at that price. I like CP3 but there is no way I would sign him for 100 million dollars at his age.
And how do you propose that happens? You can hope that Mike has a great year next year, the 3rd year is a team option, and the Jazz can trade him for some value next summer, but pipe dreams don't turn into reality.
No, next year is repeater tax time. If the Jazz are in the tax next year, they will be in the repeater tax already.
I think from what I've seen the Mavs, and especially the Bulls (according to Tony a few days ago) are what drove the price up. The Bulls can offer Mike a full max, and apparently that is what has driven his price up a bit.
