Poll: Should We Give Rudy the Supermax?

[Agent#00]

Can Favors fill in the shoes of Rudy if he decides to leave ? And who will be available to pick up in the market ?

No, and no one. We could have gone after wood but he went to the rockets. No good way to replace Rudy at this point.

You do what it takes to keep him.

Yes, but not at the level or the minutes Gobert provides. If we lose Rudy, we take a step back no matter what. Our path to the playoffs gets harder.

However, I think Favors is a key matchup asset in the playoffs. I think he guards guys like Jokic and AD as good or maybe even better than Rudy.

I went with: No, if he refuses to sign, we need to trade him before the deadline
I don't want to lose Rudy for nothing. If he doesn't sign what the front office is willing to pay him we need to get some assets and not let him walk.

He doesn’t need offensive moves. He’s invaluable to the offense with his rim pressure and screening. He’s worth every cent of whatever he gets

I think it makes a difference between being a max and super max player.

As I said though, I'm not going to lose any sleep if he does get the super.

"We," in a manner of speaking. Of course it's understood we mean the Jazz. Another way to look at it ... how much money does someone need? We're talking in the hundred million dollar range. Karl or John never made near that much money. Talking about oligarchs. And Rudy is certainly an all-NBA player, but a lot of the guys on the board probably can shoot better than he can. You don't give a super-max to someone who is so one-dimensional.

No one needs money at all. So I guess players should just play for the love of the game and the billionaire owners can just provide them with a dorm and cafeteria.

Supermax teh effs outta Rudy.

 

[Goodluckchuck]

No no no no! They give him the supermax, it will put us in financial bind for years. And you can forget ever trading that horrible contract cause no one would want to pay that to a center with no offense. We haven’t even made it to the WCF yet with him. He’s a great player and I would argue he’s the most important to our team. But he’s not supermax caliber. I don’t think anyone in the league is besides maybe lebron.

 

[Aneurism]

I wonder how many teams would even be willing to offer Rudy a max contract.
