Cavs offer Gordo MAX deal (maybe)

Even if it is a max deal, Jazz Match or counter offer with a five year arrangement that is less per year. Gordon is here to stay. Watch Locke's tipoff today for an explanation. It actually makes a lot of sense.

Once the deal is signed, they can only match. If Cleveland is giving him the MAX, then Utah matches or doesn't. However, if it is something less (and the Jazz were ok with paying him the total contract value), it could be structured to pay him the MAX in year #1 and then decrease over the next 4 years. For example, let's just suppose Hayward's agent says a deal is on the table for 4/$52M and they're considering it. Jazz counter with a 5 year deal for the same average, but pay it out as a MAX the first year and decreasing salaries 2-5 to help them with the cap/tax in the last couple of seasons.
 
"Players who made less than $15 million this year: Russell Westbrook, Lamarcus Aldridge, Kevin Love, James Harden, Andre Iguodala, Tony Parker, Serge Ibaka...Clearly Gordon Hayward is worth more money than those guys"

The question is not what those players are getting paid. The question is what would the Jazz have to give up to get one of them. If we traded for Westbrook or Love, we would have to give up to many assets.

If they Jazz could have signed them when they were free agents, I think they would have.

Cherry picking at its finest.

LOL.
Contracts always leapfrog. Do you think Love is going to re-sign for $15M? He'll get the MAX, whatever it is, at the time.
Now let's look at players who made more than Gordon did at $3.5M and see if he deserved more than some of those.
 
Cavs just paid Irving 6 years 90 million. That's 15 million a year.

They're gonna pay Hayward more (per season)? I don't think so! That would be half the cap for those two. Not happening.
 
I think the reason that makes Hayward so interesting for the Cavs is he can play multiple positions. The Cavs want to start Andrew Wiggins at SG and Hayward at SF, but may switch them if things go wrong.

Gordo will be taking the money they saved for LeBron? The fans in Cleveland are going to just love him.

Cavs have NOT offered Hayward a MAX deal. This is the same story, reported by yet another sports site. A "source" has leaked that the Cavs are preparing an offer for Hayward. Until they present the offer to the NBA and the Jazz, this is all speculation.
