This is huge. Are we offering a super max deal? Happy for him but it kind of sucks from a financial flexibility point of view. Adds more pressure for acquiring that 3rd piece now
I tried to avoid it but I just can't.
For as much as I love Rudy Gobert, his trade value has to be at an all time high right now right? He's DPOY, All NBA and has two very friendly years left on his deal ($25 per season).
I do not, under any circumstance, want to give Rudy a supermax contract. I'm not even sure I want to give him the regular max contract of $33+ million per year.
Somehow I feel Rudy might be the kind of player who realises that a supermax will only hurt his chances of winning a title here.
5 years $247 million? Holly s*** that's almost $50 million a year.
It makes this offseason all the more important, if only to show Rudy we’re moving in the right direction.He’s a thoughtful dude. I’m not sure he’s give back money thoughtful but I think we could convince him to pass on it and give him 5 years or some other comp. I think the conversation happens next year so if he refuses to work with us you can always move him if you don’t feel he is worth it.
He’s more than just our best player though... he’s embraced the market and team concept... great leader... I just think I’d choose to pay him if it came down to it... even if it is a bad deal. Either way I’d always be a Rudy Stan.
K. Thompson not included So warriors have better chance to bring him back.
