Ah, I see. Not sure what Hack is talking about then. Having the cap go from 70 to 74 to 80 to 85 to 87 would be better for the players than it going from 87 to 87 to 87 to 87 to 87?
Max Out Matthews?

I wouldn't max Matthews, and I don't think the Jazz would either.
I'd draft Hezonja and see where Burks and Hood are at in their development. Exum and Hezonja have good length and athleticism on the perimeter, and I think both will shoot a good percentage from 3-pt range. Favors and Gobert defend the paint pretty well. Hayward glues it all together.

Anyone want to guess what JYD would cost? I think Matthews might cost 12-15 M to get him out of Porty. His max would be like 18-20 M per which is too high.
I'm wondering how one comes to that conclusion.
This is silly. Who cares what Kanter and his agent said? We set a precedent where we show everyone that they don't wear the pants. We're not taking less value back for you just because you want to be a whiny bitch. Be a whiny bitch all you want, but by damn you're still our bitch and you don't move until we say so, so STFU.
So instead of using our cap space, we shouldn't use it?
Makes 0 sense when we can add a long-term piece. Even if Hezonja is good, he probably isn't as good as Matthews for his first 3 years. We need to start making contending for a playoff spot next year. Our goal after this year goes from getting assets/picks to upgrading the roster/winning to convince current pieces Utah is the place to be. Hayward is going to be a UFA and we need to convince him to stay as well as Favors. We got to start getting quality championship level players. Matthews is a top defender and shooter, we need him.
I'd give him 13 million easy, I'd probably go 15 million. One of the best defenders and one of the best shooters. Very consistent, reliable, and is rarely ever injured.

Because it would seem to me that the wealth would get spread around more to all of the players, rather just the free agent class in 2016.
Here is a quote from a story about it
They are denying anyone any money. They are just spreading it around.

So you sit disgruntled in your cubicle bitching about the company, your role, the disrespect they're showing you. But the company keeps you there - just to teach you a lesson?
We were NEVER getting a good asset for Kanter.
1. He signs an offer sheet for $15M/per. Jazz won't match, he walks for nothing.
2. We find some FA's we like, Have to rescind the QO to Kanter in order to sign them. No return.
3. Kanter signs the QO. All we can then do is use our MLE on another FA. Kanter plays like a selfish bitch for the entire season to boost his numbers.
a) He's an UFA and leaves at the end of the season, or
b) We trade him at the deadline to a contender. They give us a late 1st to rent him for 1/2 the season
4. A S&T trade? Not going to happen. Those are largely a thing of the past. Kanter/Ergul have already claimed he's the best of his generation. He's NOT going to accept a deal in the $10-12M range, especially if Utah could match. His QO is too close to that.
Kanter is going to sign the QO unless some team is crazy enough to throw $60M at him.
