Jazz Officially Matched Hayward According to Woj

Terrible move by the Jazz. Lets just tell all the teams we will match anything so teams will offer max money. Why? Because we would rather pay max money for someone that had the worst season in his career. Jordan sticking it the Jazz still 16 years later. The bad thing is the Jazz is bending over for them and saying "I dare ya"

Their deadline would have been about 13 hours from now.
But I guess they tried to rent their capspace after yesterday's happenings and couldn't get it done. And today they have to submit Dante's and Rodney's 120% contracts in order for them to suit up in summer league.

I guess that's connected. They simply couldn't get something bigger done with maximum capspace.

I think it certain that one of kanter or burks will not be here next year.

I could very well see that especially if Exum and Rudy have impressive seasons. I think Rudy might actually have a breakout year. I'm really excited to see how he does in Summer League play.

So why is none offering max for Lance Stephenson since they matched Portland's max sheet for Hibbert?

Players can play in summer league without a contract - they'd just get insurance first. Wiggins remains unsigned, but played last night.

Obviously the Jazz don't plan on using that cap space anymore for salary dumps. I have enough trust in Lindsey et al. to trust that they done their due diligence in regards to potential use of the cap space. Nor do I really think it's a huge benefit to Charlotte by matching a day early. It's Charlotte. Who are they going to sign today that they couldn't sign tomorrow?
 
Expected. Now lets all get behind Hayward, he is here for the long haul. Still a chance he has a Derozan like breakout.

Okay I wasn't aware of that. In previous cases where players were held out for 1 or 2 games of summer league, it prolly was just a coincidence that the contract hadn't been signed yet.
Like with Julius Randle yesterday.
