Do we want Hayward to be our designated player? I'd prefer 2014 draftee or Kanter to be the designated player depending on his performance this year.

I'm afraid that Lindsey talked Miller into tanking...and then the final $$$ numbers came back with the projections for this upcoming year and Miller went, "HOLY ****. I'm going to lose money last year and this year, for what? A chance at a title that I don't care about? OR, I could pay these guys here, get a couple of idiotic fans excited about making the playoffs again, and pull down huge profits to fund my stupid racetrack that no one cares about. I'm taking the money and running."
As much as everyone talks about how much Larry loved the Jazz, he never ponied up for a title. He wasn't willing to spend a little more to get that guy in here. Why would we think his kids, who don't seem to care as much about the Jazz, would suddenly be willing to make huge sacrifices for this team, in a down economy, and when their race track is hemorrhaging money? Especially when we have seen that a lot more fans would be happy with making the playoffs as a 6-8th seed every year than a few bad years and a chance at greatness?
This is what worries me.
This is correct. If they're front-loaded it changes everything and we shift our focus to hoping they all stay healthy.
Yes. With what we have coming off the books, potentially, next year, we have around $30mm (iirc) in cap space.
Lets say we re-sign Rush for around $4 and sign a MAX free agent (hypothetically, of course), we still have about $10mm we can throw at front-loaded contracts.
If we gave all of that Hayward (for simple math), it could lower his next four years salary to more affordable levels... albeit still pretty pricey.. but better

Oof. Nothing to add.
I'll repeat:
no way a max extension is given (on logical grounds). You play the market for that.
Whatever it is, it better be front loaded

I have been thinking about that and does it really matter? Kanter and the 2014 picks will all know that the 5 years is not an option so they just have to deal with it. Ultimately Utah can pay them more money than anyone else or at least match an offers made.
