How can you lock up a player that doesn't want to be locked up? It takes two to agree to a deal. You contradicted yourself. If a "league is designed to overpay RFA's", why would Hayward agree to be locked up last year?

Well, I am basing my comments based on the information in articles last year that stated Hayward was willing to re-sign for less than the max. If that wasn't true, and they couldn't have gotten him for 13-14M, then I retract my comment. However, the Jazz had the ability to offer him an extra year, which would provide him with more guaranteed $$$.

"Hayward’s side was reportedly hoping to secure more than Favors’ salary but somewhere less than the $80 million maximum deal fellow 2010 draftee Paul George received this offseason" https://www.deseretnews.com/article...ward-cant-work-out-extension-deal.html?pg=all

If that is true, we could have secured him for a lower amount, and possibly with incentives like what Favors has.
 
One thing to consider is the deal is 4yrs with a PO at 4.

Very similar to Deron's deal, essentially 3 years.

Again, I don't think Gordon wants to be here. That's what my gut tells me.

"That's why I signed a 3 yr deal." - Deron Williams
 
16M is insane. You can't pay a 3rd option wing player with at best average defense this kind of money no matter who you are.

Utah is not a top destination for FAs?
Utah has enough cap space?
Other team overpay FAs this offseason, so should we?

I don't ****ing care. It would be a huge mistake to match.
 
A source tells the Observer Gordon Hayward intended to visit with the Phoenix Suns before agreeing to Hornets' max offer. @paulcoro

I think that the opposite would be better for the tank. Hayward is clearly the better player.

i said jeffy is better for the tank.
You said the opposite is better for the tank (hayward?)

So you think hayward makes us worse than jeffy?
 
Additionally, the Jazz have about $37M in contracts once we sign Hood and Exum. We have to spend 90% of the $63M cap (about $57M).

If you don't pay it to Hayward, who do you pay it to? I don't want them to sign a few veterans that will take more playing time from our young core, and knowing the Jazz, that is what they do. I don't want more Richard Jefferson types that won't help us develop our young guys.

Lets keep our young core intact and grow into something special.

It'll be interesting to see what Parsons gets. But there seems to be enough interest in him (and enough teams with plenty of cap room), that I really think he'll get more than 12 mill/yr. My guess is that he'll get close to the max when it's all said and done. But even if he doesn't... there's enough interest in him that I doubt the Jazz are his first choice in destinations. After LBJ and Bosh make their decisions, I expect Parsons to be in high demand. Which mean the likelyhood of him coming to Utah becomes very slim.

So make Parsons a $11-12 million offer at midnight tonight, tell him he's got just under 3 days to accept it, and if he hasn't accepted it by then match Hayward. Would he really turn it down? Maybe, but he's very likely NOT going to have any more offers to consider this early in free agency since most other teams will be waiting around for Lebron & Co.

What are the issues?

Will the signing prevent you from keeping your other players? No, it won't.

I will simplify it even further for you.

You should give me 100 dollars.

What are the issues?

Will you giving me 100 dollars prevent you from paying your phone bill? No it wont so you should just give it to me
 
I can just see it. Not signing Hayward will cause the Jazz to sign another group of old or subpar players. They will end up starting over our young talent. It will be frustrating.

Ugh.
