A discount would have been crazy and would have signaled the Jazz were tryjng to win now. Lauri isn't going to take a discount for Utah to tank
I don’t know what “$220 million in new money” means, or if I do, what the significance is. Pretty sure that’s his current salary ($18 mil) plus, well, new money over the life of the deal. But I’ve not seen this language before and doesn’t really communicate anything.
Anyway. Uhh. Cool.

What are you basing this on? Jazz probably maxed him this off-season and shaved some raises on the back end. Or, hell, probably not. To average $47.6 million then that means some of those years are $50 million+.
The Jazz have a few million in cap space. Jazz are not tendering an offer to Okoro that he will sign.

Shams doing taxes: "Isn't the 140k same than 100k? I think it is..."
I mean that 200 million he tweeted is pretty far from 238.
Well deserved. There's many players further away from being all nbas getting maxes, do max belongs to Lauri as well .

Just numbers. If we just had 11 million in cap I think the Cavs would match him but at 15 million they would have serious cap issues.

Assuming we gave him the max we could this year ($42m) that would make the remainder of the deal 4 Years, 196. That seems reasonable
Wishful thinking is weird way to establish what the Jazz actually have in cap space.
None of these upper-echelon contracts are reasonable lol

Especially we had to meet the salary minimum to avoid the tax penalty

This is such a massive win for us on so many levels. Love Lauri for wanting to be here while also making life changing money.
If you click on the tweet the subsequent tweets explain it a bit. Basically it seems like he got all the money he could.
The pushback on that is that the new CBA is making teams think twice about spending the full max on one-or-no time all-stars.
Just saying the language doesn’t explain anything. All extensions are “new money”. Doesn’t mean anything.
It's just a guess but the Jazz have been signaling to other GM's that their extra cap is not available for dumps. So we have been guessing what their scheme has been and this has been one of the guesses.
