[SteakNEggs]

Okkkkk

 

[Ineptimusprime]

Wow. That’s a lot.

 

[David Ginola 14]

Absurd..

 

[Bawse Dawg]

I said I would be happy with the Paul George contract, and it’s $15m more, and one year longer. Seems reasonable.

Glad Rudy is here. We could be really good these next couple years. Let’s make some noise.

 

[slc]

The 205 is probably if he meets every incentive which may be hard to do

 

[Jazzmix]

It's a lot but I am relieved and happy he stays here

 

[rjfan]

Well, midway between standard max and full supermax, right ?

 

[rjfan]

Still wanna know more about the structure of the contract, but feels better knowing they found an agreement.

I think a sticking point was probably being paid more than Donovan. In any case, I think that’s good for his recognition and keep going out and doing what he does even if he’s not touching the ball as much with the threes flying. I will declare that our window is currently now, and if we pickup RHJ, I’m going to say we’ve completed a roster that we can go farther this year than we ever have.

 

[Hekate]

Let's goooo!

 

[slc]

So Jazz now seem to have a five year window with Rudy and DM to get a title
Jazz may still need one more piece to do this or every one has to step up and have career seasons

 

[SteakNEggs]

Well at least my Rudy jersey will not be obsolete for a few seasons.

 

[DasJazz]

Extreme over pay for a one dimensional player. Maybe he can use some of that money and learn how to shoot outside of 2 feet. Or even better, maybe he can finally learn how to catch a bounce pass!

 

[Avery]

Well, that settles that. Ton of money, but it’s obvious that the core of the team is in place.

We’ve got five years to bring a banner.

 

[SteakNEggs]

So we have

Mitchell
Gobert
JC
Bogey
Royce
Ingles
Favs

All locked up for a few seasons

This is our window. Not sure how much space we will have but it has to be minimal.

I love Rudy and I agree with this

 

[candrew]

10 million more than he could have gotten as a UFA. Fifth year is a player option.

He can defend the paint like no one in the league right NOW, you pay for this.

We don’t need that. Let him space the floor by keeping people trying to disrupt the lob, opening up the perimeter. What we need is him to be the beast on defense that impacts every game on a consistent basis. That’s what takes us to the next level. We didn’t need AK to “work on his jumpshot,” we needed him to let more efficient guys score and him keep the energy and do the dirty work. I want Rudy getting high percentage lobs and putbacks.
