What's new

Extensions, baby!

Yes, we can do it until the new season starts IIRC.

If this is correct, then you have to try and extend both now. For some reason I thought we could extend these guy later than that.

This kind of sucks, as I'm not sure either one will want to extend based on last year's performance.
 
Would you rather I made statements based on what I have yet to see?

(Btw I was high on Gobert while many here were still complaining about his hands. That kid showed potential the second he flew into SLC. Even when I squint at Exum he still looks like a turkey necked kid that isn't very good at basketball)

Yeah, my bad. I was thinking we could extend these guys into the next year.
We should try and extend both players. Not sure either will agree, since they both had kind of meh years last year.

It may depend on what type of free agency they each have. In other words, Hill was a UFA and iirc, we were able to try to re-sign him pre-March 1. That may only be the case for vets with a certain amount of years though. And restricted free agents, Dante in this case, may fall under an entirely different calendar altogether.
 
Do what you think is best but Hoood WILL get a huge deal from someone. If Tim Hardaway get it then Hood will easily. Letting a dude go into RFA gets you a better deal 0% of the time. If you aren't sure about the future of Hood and Exum then fine see what happens, maybe keep one who you'd end up maxing.

Super risky move is to do the extensions right now for the best deal and pray. Could totally cripple us if we give Exum like $12 million and then he still stinks we are screwed.

Decent move is to let them earn it and then midway trough the season re-evaluate. But they will only get more expensive if they are 'earning' extensions.

I think if I could get both for $30 million I'd just do it. **** it. I'm optimistic. If you wait and they earn it then it costs you $10 million extra minimum.

It depends on how risk adverse you are as a person and how risk adverse your agent is.

Favors was risk adverse, or his agent talked him into being risk adverse, when he signed that extension.

Pet peeve: the word is "averse", not "adverse". Adverse means something completely different.
 
Rodney's cap hold is about $8 million. If the Jazz are prepared to pay him the max, they should hold off on his extension and save cap space. Exum' cap hold is $15 million. They should try to extend him now if they can get him to agree to a deal that starts for less than that.
 
The biggest reason to extend him is probably to just get a regular 4 year contract instead of having to match some poison pill with player options and trade kickers.
We'd still have Hayward at 16m a year if it wasn't for that player option.
