Clarkson Likely to Get Extension

[Tremendous Upside]

Bogey got $20M a year and is 3 years older.

He's also a vastly better player.

Aren’t you the one who said Vando will be lucky to get 7-8M?

No

What a bull**** call. You're not allowed to defend DDR.

Eh...it's questionable who is better. Different types of players, and Clarkson is absolutely beloved around the league. The age absolutely makes a huge difference.

There's no reason for Clarkson to sign the extension right now. The same offer will be there in the summer for him, and there's a good chance he gets equal or better on the market anyways. Even if he doesn't, the choice to decide how the last years of his career go has to be extremely valuable to him. If I was JC's agent, I would strongly advise against signing the extension.

People have forgotten how frustrating Bogey was for us. Dude could shoot but was very frustrating game to game in other aspects of his game.

No

You said this:

He needs to keep making those corner 3's on much higher volume if he wants to prove he's turned into a dependable shooter. That's the only way his next contract will exceed $10 milion per year.

Seems like you think he’s only worth 7-8M a year.

Obviously he wants a pay day, good… I don’t want him as part of the future.

I'll give him $9 million. Deal?

There is as much non basketball logic as to why Ryan Smith wants JC in SLC as there is basketball logic. JC likes SLC and he represents minorities in ways that really appeal to Smith. Not arguing right or wrong but I think it is very evident. Unless we get a whopping trade offer or unless JC gets a whopping contract that we simply cant match, I think he will be here long term.

I'd rather trade Clarkson than pay him. I like him, good player great guy. But I don't want to be stuck paying him big money two seasons from now, and I want us to get a little worse and take a dive for the rest of the season. I want a high lottery pick to pair with Markannen.
