Rubio next contract..

Depends on how he does, and how the Jazz do, this coming season. If he comes back to the form he had at the end of the last season, can hit his shots at a solid clip, stays solid on D, improves his play-making a bit since he is now more comfortable with the team, he could be worth that or maybe even more. I like him better at 3/45-ish, and if they do well and come together he might take a bit less to keep the team together and add a solid piece.
 
I think they'll offer him in the 3-year at $16M per range. It depends in large part on what the market is like for him. Kokoskov in Phoenix might like him, and they should have some cap space (even though they're paying Ryan Anderson and Trevor Ariza). A couple other teams will likely show some interest in him.
 
is a double edged sword. before this rubio wanst worth much. the way quin(or his system) used him. and his improved shooting, is making him more expensive.

but then again point guards are not in high demand. i hope he stays. i want the core8 to stay together 4-5 years
 
We can extend him during the year. My guess is that midway through the year there will be a conversation... his cap hold is $18M so anything he signs for under that creates some space for us. The most we can offer is 120% of his current salary, so if he won't take less than that then it's no deal. If he continues his end of season run my guess is the Jazz extend him at like 4/60-75M and he won't ever be a free agent.

If he goes on the open market his value range is kind of crazy imo. I don't see him as a guy that works perfectly in every system so the team acquiring him would have to have a need, adequate cap space, and feel good about how he'd work. If I was him and the Jazz offer something fair I'd take it quickly.
 
Yeah the 16-18M per range would get it done I think. I believe he is absolutely head over heals in love with our team both collectively and as individuals, as well as with Quin who seems to be his muse of sorts. Hell, he’s basically stated as much. Maybe someone would offer him a tiny bit more but I don’t think he’s viewed as highly around the league, and I also think he really would take a little less to stay here.

I’d probably go 17.5, 16.5, 15.5, 14.5.

I recall him saying to the spanish media something along the lines of "I've made more than enough money during my career, basketball is going to be central when I'm considering things on my next contract"

If things go well this year there's a high possibility that Ricky would sign a favorable contract with us.

I'll try to fetch the interview, it's on NBAManiacs or AS iirc.

I think he's worth about as much as Ingles is, so I'd want him on that kind of contract.

If we brought Rubio back for $14 or less for a few years, we would be title contenders. Based off market, he could probably get close to $20 if he plays like he did the 2nd half of last season. Another cut rate contract (Ingles, O'Neale, Crowder, etc.) just allows us to keep one of the deepest teams in the league.

“Siendo sincero, con el último contrato que firmé ya tengo para mí, para mis hijos y para mis nietos –indicó Ricky–. En ese aspecto no me preocupa, lo que sí miraré es el proyecto donde me sienta cómodo, donde cuenten conmigo para ser una pieza importante y para poder ganar los máximos partidos posibles”.

"Being honest, with my last contract I have enough for me, my children and my grandchildren -said Ricky-. That part doesn't worry me, what I'm going to look for is the project where I can feel comfortable, where they count on me to be an important piece and win the most games possible".
