Hayward getting extension???

So let me get this straight... AK got his contract after posting 16.5pts, 8.1reb, 3.1ast, 1.9 stl, 2.8blk in a season where he was an ALL-Star and the second only player in NBA history to finish in both top 5 steals and blocks and some of you guys called it toxic and overpaid and whatever other names.... Now both Favors and Hayward getting almost same deals yet their numbers are not even close to AK's and you think it is good deals?

AKs got progressively higher and it was for 6 years. The 6 years was the biggest killer.

6years 86M.... That's 14m average and ties the franchise up!!
 
My point is at least AK had stats to justify it. Favors and Hayward getting theirs purely on potential.

That's intellectually dishonest. Purely on potential is a rookie. We've seen them produce in minutes they get. Is some on potential? Sure. But not "purely"

Having said that If this Hayward deal is true I hate it. Favors I'm fine with. The league pays big men.

Plus the cap was a lot lower then, so you'd have to rescale things accordingly.

That being said, I don't believe the numbers that are being tossed around here for Hayward. Or, if they are correct, it's clearly a mistake on the Jazz's part.

This.
 
Do teams not realize that restricted free agency is a thing and acts to dramatically lower prices on players?

Ok not purely. Still they don't have stats to justify it so there must be awfully lots of hope involved.
 
If by richer they mean like 5yrs/50 mil I'm down, if they mean richer like 5yrs/65 mil I'm terrified. It's not impossible to live up to, but it's damn close.

I guess they don't if this is true.... I like Hayward. I think it is insane to give him some ridiculous extension though.
 
Dang you Paul George!

Well nothing really official has been revealed so I'm not going to say much.

I don't think you can do 5/50. From what I recall, you can only offer 5 years if you give the max.
