When those picks mature, we trade Mitchell for picks.

Not necessarily. Is DM an MVP candidate at this point? If so then I think the supermax is given without question.

Is he the same player as kemba walker? Then maybe you trade him. Maybe not. Depends on lots of stuff. But you definitely look at all your options.

I don't feel great about some writers setting the market for my players and determining what they get paid.

I think they each team should determine what they pay their players instead of some writers who have nothing to do with the team.
If you think your player is a supermax player then give them a supermax contract. If not then don't.

The question is how should a team determine who is a supermax player? Should they let some writers who have nothing to do with their team determine that for the team? Idk. Me personally, I would determine a supermax player to be a player that has been, is currently, or I think will be in the league MVP discussion.

We've got a pretty solid deck right now! I can't emphasize the need for obtaining just a couple more (2) decent 3 point shooters out there to add to our deck and keeping the core unit of our current players under contract, including of course, Rubio! Keeping Favors should also be a must as he can give Rudy some rest and they play pretty good together anyway! When you win 50 games with our pathetic start there is NO REASON WHATSOEVER to tear down the team and make wholesale changes! The league can be had with the deck we've got and a few adjustments in our roster that will increase our offense sufficiency by a factor of 5! Let the other teams make wholesale changes and that increases our chance of gaining the top seed by a factor of 10! We increase our 3 point shooting by about 5% we will lead the league in scoring, defense and games won!

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.

Who would want him though? Serious question - as great as he is.

No one. We're stuck with him. No way anyone in the league would give up a ham sandwich for Rudy. I mean what is his value, honestly? Maybe an all-nba team or 2? Best defensive player in the league? In other words, trash. If we can find someone willing to give us a couple 2nd round picks we should take it and run away laughing. Amirite?

Maybe teams (not just the jazz) are better off though not paying 1 player that percentage of the money unless they are the type of player that can carry you to a title almost by themselves. I'm talking top 20 player of all time types.

Does anyone think it's going to work out for Charlotte to pay kemba a super max? How about Lillard? I don't think it will.

So a Super Max comes out to be how much per year? Were way better off with Rubio and spend any extra money on some shooters to surround the guys we already have.....that can take us to the next level! Lillard had a turrible series and both are already out of the playoffs! I have confidence in the guys we already have or can sign to make a good run for the money next year! It's just not prudent to throw good money after bad money!
 
So when has Gail or Dennis shown that they are willing to spend money? Specially money on free agents? What are they saving money for? If your not spending it on Rudy then who?

The cheap *** Jazz damn well better spend money on Rudy! Just give him a blank check to keep him here

Yeah, I read that and laughed out loud.
 
Is it foolish to have hope that Gobert would forego the supermax in favor of the regular max in order to give the team a better chance to build a championship roster? I mean it's not like the max is chump change. I don't know how any team will ever win a championship by paying ANY player the supermax. It's such a large portion of the cap...

The only time the supermax makes sense is when the player is easily worth twice that much.
