Hayward's AAV: 4 years; 9 per

I'm honestly okay up to a front loaded 4 year 48 million dollar contract. I feel like that could be overpaying given his production of this season, but this is Utah.
 
1 out of every 10 times a good player signs a FA deal you're like, "wow thats a good deal."

The other 90% of the time you're like, "lol they overpaid."

Whatever you think Hayward is "worth" add a couple million a year to that.
 
I sure hope Phoenix or Boston doesn't do something stupid and offer Hayward a max deal. I want him to stay in a Jazz jersey, but not in a deal he hasn't proven he deserves. Just because he was drafted a pick over Paul George, doesn't mean that he deserves Paul George money.

I'm interested in the front-loaded option. I don't know much about it. Does it have to go down each year or could we do say $14 mil - $14 mil - $10 mil - $10 mil for the 4 years? I think that would be a great option to retain him and have a little extra for when we should be peaking in a couple years.

Also, who was the last player to sign a front-loaded deal? Especially somebody signing it as a contract after their rookie contract?

EDIT: I guess I could have looked a little harder. Looks like Splitter's deal is front-loaded: 10/9.25/8.5/8.5. I guess I'm wondering if that's a realistic option for Hayward.

If the Jazz pay Hayward $12M/year...Dennis Lindsey is officially an idiot and is not the young bright mind we thought he was.

You been smokin jeffreys? The Jazz are the only team that can offer him Paul George money. The best any other team can do falls like $20 mil short of Paul George money. It is called restricted free agency for a reason bro.
 
Can you load 2nd and 3rd years of a contract?

If so, any team who wants Hayward should load those years of his deal. That's when Enes and Alec are up.

Favors signed a front loaded (sort of) contract just this off season.

Oh, never saw the year by year breakdown of his deal.

I saw it. Don't remember exactly but it was more in the 1st and last years and less in the middle. Raised the amount in the final year to give him an opportunity for more money on his next contract.
 
I think we offer 4 yrs/40 mil, but that someone will outbid us in the range of 4 yrs/48-50 mil and that is when the Jazz have to decide if the match or not. This summer's market has plenty of teams with cash and not many players better than Gordon. They have to pay someone.
