4 year max for Hayward would start at like 12.75 the first year, and goes up from there. I think he might get that this offseason. I bet he gets at least 12.5 per.

Don't take your grandkids, is all.
On that....
Jazz could easily frontload him the full max with declining payouts, and everyone wins .. up front. The problem with these types of contracts, as we saw with Favors, is that extensions are limited to 7.5% per year. So, if a player wants to sign on the decline and then re-up without going to free agency then they must take less than what they may be worth 3 years down the road.
That's why Favors' contract declines and then goes back up. It's a messed up part of the CBA that you can't extend your own player for the max until his contract expires. The small market teams should have demanded the opposite in the recent negotiations. Oh well.
9% is the difference between "love the guy" and "on the fence", and then "go **** himself"? I wouldn't have expected less from you, actually.

9% isn't chump change. I'm sure your employer is fine paying you what you get paid, but if you suddenly demanded a 9% raise (without showing any major improvements in your work performance) they'd tell you to go **** yourself too. That's not an insult, that's just the way business works...everyone is replaceable, especially greedy employees.

So.... Hayward has not shown major improvements? Career highs in everything but shooting % is not major improvement?

Anything over 10 mil is overpaying. If Jazz end up with Parker or Wiggins then they will let other team overpay. Think about our starting 5 next year - Burke, Burks, Parker/Wiggins, Favors, Kanter. Why do we need Hayward at 12-13mil here? He can accept 10mil deal or take his talents to Beantown.

But if we have those guys on rookie deals why not keep gordon as well? He can always be traded later if it really becomes a big issue.
But more importantly, am i the only one here that has no idea what Jumping the tuna fish means???

Not sure trading him after overpaying him 12-13mil/year will be such an easy thing.

Um, only that analogy isn't at all accurate to the situation.
Say you're one of 450 people on the planet that can do a certain job, and you happen to be in the upper-echelon of that group. Say there are millions and millions of dollars at stake. And there are 30 possible employers, a few who would definitely, love to pay you %9 more to come pay for them.
I don't know where jazz fans got this fantasy that we'll pay people what we want to. We'll pay what the market says we will. And if I'm Phoenix or Boston, and I find out I can get Hay for 11 or 12 million, I'd do it in a second. Why not? Because we'd prefer to pay him 10?
Deng was just traded.
How is this year any different than other years? Jazz fans like to complain! Is this a news story really?
Wolf of Wall Street was great and I agree don't bring your parent or wife? Leonard was great but he is going to have some decent competition. If you have watched 12 days a Slave, you will understand.
