This is from the team's press release: "The Utah Jazz have signed guard Kris Dunn to a multi-year deal. Per team policy, terms of the deal were not released." The word "multi" seems to imply longer term than this year and an option for next. I know "multi" is not real specific but if it was for this year and next why not say "two year deal?"
My question is that with every team having a “policy” that terms aren’t released, how is it that all the specifics get out to a very defined degree? Like, where do the cap sites get their data?

It strikes me that there is a lot of non-guaranteed money in the deal.

Yeah, the rest of this season and next - next season not guaranteed.
How did you come to that conclusion?
Because yours isn't an opinion based in reality. From the get go all you said was that the guy was trash. Then as he got minutes and played extremely well in those minutes you kept insisting that he was trash. As a minimum contract guy Dunn is an absolute home run.
Cos of all the point guards we could have gotten from anywhere, we chose Kris Dunn.
Man, it's going to be a shame to lose him...

there are two kinds of 'age' in the NBA. obviously there is how many years they have been alive, but in this case it's the mileage (or lack thereof) that matters. Dunn is soon to be 29, sure, but he has spent so little actual game time in his career, he's probably closer to 24/25 in his joints. i'm perfectly fine with him as a backup, and if he continues to improve, i don't mind him starting. our superstar doesn't have to be a point guard, in fact i think i remember hearing that having your point as the star is the best way to get booted in the first round.

Plus he might be an attractive trade chip in the future if the Jazz decide to go that route.

Yeah... the honeymoon is just about over, isn't it?
Dunn's propensity to overplay any passing lane he sees, no matter who he's leaving open, is bizarre and infuriating. Casuals don't notice this stuff, but he keeps breaking the team D and is actually often the weakest link, not a "defensive specialist".
There was one play that really encapsulated the Kris Dunn experience. Kessler was guarding Brown 1-on-1 on the paint, had excellent position and definitely didn't need any help. Dunn, hawking for steals as always, left an an absolutely lethal shooter in Muscala and went to float in no man's land, ready to double and slap at the ball if Brown turned his head. Predictably, Brown got stuck against Walker, left his feet and had about half a second to make an emergency pass out. At this point Dunn was ball-watching and not guarding anyone, so Brown lobbed the ball into the corner and Muscala made an easy open 3.
Dunn single-handedly turned a Boston turnover into a Boston three pointer. And he does this **** all the time.

You are really something special.

I also think it shows guys that the Jazz don’t just sign vets to ride the pine. If you can play, you will get a shot at the rotation. May help down the road when they’re good enough to be considered as a buyout destination.

I knew he could be good if he feels fresh with his body. But to set starter level performances off the bench... Wow.
I would love to Sexton come back before the season ends... bc seeing few minutes of the turbo-ball line of Dunn-Sexton-Lauri-Ochai-Kessler intrigues me.

Not everyone.
