Yeah I mean his case is very similar to Ed, Dante, TB.

I promise you multiple front offices are saying “****... another guy is off the market”. One of them might be our major worry in the next few years if Luka continues to improve.

I literally might do a cartwheel today I’m happy. This deal means we get some good basketball next 3-4 years. Every team has to rebuild sometime. We will hit that part of the cycle at some point... enjoy the good times while they last.

If Rudy had taken less than the max, I would admire his loyalty. He took more money than anybody else could even give.

He took the most money. Loyalty isn't really worth debating. He took the most money so nobody can claim he is more loyal.

Rudy was eligible and his play made him eligible for a $244 million super max. He took $39 million less than he qualified for. Whether you think he is worth that or not his play qualified him for it. This is the most loyal a player has been since Stockton and Malone. Fighting the franchise over a PO on your rookie scale extension, and never even saying “thank you” publicly is not.
 
There's just something cool about drafting a player, developing him, watching him turn into an all star and all NBA player and then having him choose to re-sign with your small market team when he has the chance to become an unrestricted free agent and sign wherever he wants. After losing Deron and Haywood, this just feels really good.

Just had to explain to multiple friends how the salary cap works.

Apparently we could have let Conley and Gobert walk and had 60M in cap space to sign players!!!

Sadly, I still don’t think people on this board understand it either. In that scenario we have 15M and are a worse team no matter who we sign.

What he did deserves appreciation but not celebration. He took less than the utmost max but more than anybody else could give. I don't think loyalty is the word I would use.

Manu and Duncan taking bargain deals for years is loyalty. Taking more than any other team can give is simply not loyalty.

How about getting a super max clause for 3rd All NBA team, getting a trade kicker, and then fighting the franchise that traded up to draft you, developed you, put you in a winning situation, and helped you become the amazing successful player you became over a player option, and then never once publicly thanking the organization, fanbase, or those who have supported you for the first 4 years of your career? You sure seem to think that of the guy who never even publicly acknowledged the contract he was given by the franchise that drafted and developed him. Nor can he find the decency to even congratulate the teammate who’s been most responsible to the wins attached to his career.

Hey I'm trying to maintain my head in the sand over here about Donny's being a Utah Jazz lifer, you're not helping!
