Shams: Utah and Lauri expected to agree to long term deal

It will be interesting to see the details after they come out. Is it 200M new money or 200M total money including his renegotiated 2024-25 salary of 18M?

If its the latter then its actually a massive bargain and less than what Lauri likely could have gotten had he waited until Free Agency. Spurs were definitely gonna max him there even if we didnt.

If its all new money then its about the same as what he would have gotten, but we can still take 24M from the 4 extensions years and bring it into this year which means the backend of the deal will look pretty friendly (last year around 15M below what it would have been with 8% raises).

Fantastic. I can't remember the last all star player who wanted to stay here, but it's refreshing to see.

Rudy Gobert. You know, tall guy, all world defender. He wanted to stay here.

I would guess that it is 200mil in new money plus the 18mil from his old contract.
 
This is a rough outline of what the most favorable contract for the Jazz would look like: FO years 4 and 5 you can divvy up the money any way you want,.

I think it is flat from year 3 on. Saw some reporting from Yossi Gozlan or something.
 
Good contract. No player option. I would have liked a slightly better discount for the 24M but does another 12M off the deal make it that much more movable or flexible... nah. Our space this offseason is pretty useless at this point. Glad this got done and we can now ponder what is next.

A difference we have in numbers is that he has 30% of the cap for year two whereas I have a 8% raise...I'm not sure whose right, but it's basically the same number. The last 3 years would have to average out to be $49-50M a year.
 
I’ll play devils advocate here.

Why pay a potential #2 option on a contending team the Max?

Hope we don’t have too much tie up in Lauri for when we’re eventually ready to contend.

Yeah. Cap space is pretty worthless - unless the Jazz use it to offload one of their own guys as well.

Ingram for Collins eats up $10 million in space, but is a clear upgrade for the Jazz and still helps the Pelicans financial situation. I’m expecting some sort of deal like that instead of a pure salary dump.

Clarkson or Collins (or both) could fit nicely into a deal like that.
