So, in three years, Tre is up for an extension. He is a RFA. He has an offer from another team, let's say Detroit offers him 12 per, and he is only worth 10 per.
Utah has Favors, Hayward, Jabari, Gobert and others, and is coming off a 50-60 win season and a WCF loss. Detroit is coming off a 44 win season. Do you think he will be sad if Utah matches?
No, no he won't. Build a winner. No one cares about the city they play in if they are winning.
I agree with the premise that winning fixes alot of issues.
