Exum extension

I'd have conversations with Exum and Hood, but would want a slight discount on Hood for health concerns and a fairly deep discount on Exum for basketball reasons. Exum has been good, but I'd really like to see what he looks like coming into camp and in a bigger sample size. My guess is neither guy gets extended.

I'd go 4/40 for Exum and 4/80 on Hood but would want the final year to be a team option... I wouldn't let it be a deal breaker. His max starts at 24-25 per season. I could see a team overpaying for Hood in FA... the PG market is kind of saturated so Ex may not have as much interest.

The Nets terrify me for every potential RFA in the market. They will overpay until they find a team that won't match. They freaking paid a ton to try and get Allen Crabbe.

They try to get the young guys again I think, but teams will need to start offloading salary again and so the empty cap space will start to have value again... don't know that they will go as hard as they did last summer at a guy on Crabbe's level.

U gotta remember what happened to Hood in the draft.. He was promised to go top12 IIRC.. Probably is looking to grab top-dollar.. Like I said he'll be months away from turning 26... A big longterm deal could be his last..

The first part has no bearing on the discussion. The second part is why he may take the security of 4/80 now versus trying for 4/100 and risk tearing an Achilles or blowing up his knee.

Yeah, they will go after guys on Exum/Hood level obviously. I bet they both get max offers from Brooklyn.
 
With Hood's injury history, I'd maybe see him taking a little less, but guaranteed big deal now.

For Exum, I'm in the AK/Hayward category with him.

Look at what he does this summer. Come Oct, if he's improved enough, get him extended. If you are not sure, let him play out next season. He is a RFA, let him go earn it.

I'd LOVE to pay Exum a max deal next summer. I'd love it more if he improved enough to get a 4/90 this Oct, but I'm okay paying players.

If we are matching a max deal next summer for Exum, that means he had a great season.

Our title hopes rest on Exum's shoulders. With him, Gobert and Hayward, we have a shot. Without Exum, we are in Deron land.

It could also mean that a ****ty team is desperate. The problem with RFA is that other teams are almost always willing to overpay. If the Jazz decide that they want to keep him they should try to extend him if not theN trade him. The FO needs to be brave enough to make a decision.
 
Exum is about getting the best out of himself, being in the best bball situation and he's aware of what the Jazz have invested in him and what their long term plans are...

Dante and Rudy changed the direction (or narrowed the focus) of this franchise when they had that post Allstar stretch 2 years ago.

Kids made of the right stiff, He ain't about them $$$.

So you think over the next 4 years Hood is going to be twice as valuable as X?
If X turns out to be only half as good as Hood - that would be most depressing.

I'm glad he at least knows their long term plans for him.
I get the vibe they go hot and cold on him pretty quickly.
