IMPORTANT for the Jazz: rumor about the new CBA regarding extensions!!!

I fail to see relevance. If Hayward wants to stay he will sign with the Jazz. If he doesn't he won't sign the extension regardless if it's 2 or 3 years wait period.

It would take away the injury risk if he could sign now instead of opting out at year end. That's about the only benefit I see for Hayward. Doesn't affect anyone else on the Jazz except Burks. And I think he's a dead man walking. Hood took his starting job. Alec is always hurt. And the Jazz can't pay everyone. In a couple of years, fitting the starters (and I'm not counting Hill) plus Lyles (plus fill the rest of the roster) without exceeding the tax threshold is going to be challenging, if not impossible. I think Burks and maybe even Favors (because of his chronic injuries) could be tax casualties.
 
I don`t see how this applies to us at all, really. Extensions have some many problems in the current CBA that are so much more relevant than the 3 year rule. For example, a contract extension can only give a player 107,5% of his previous salary. There is no world in which Hayward would accept 107,5% of his current salary, when he will make a lot more by waiting until the summer. Extensions are also only allowed to be for a total of 4 seasons, including the ones remaining on their contract. That would mean that a max extension for Hayward now would only extend his contract with us for 3 extra years, versus the 5 he can get this summer.

It all depends on how Utah performs. If the team does well and gets into the playoffs then I think he stays. If they suck it up and blow the chance to be a playoff team he will be in Celtic Green next season. They just waiting on him. Young, promising team with a coach he likes.

We are talking about renegotiation and extension probably. He will get more than the 107.5%...
