Rumor: Jazz prepared to match 'any offer' for Hayward.

I'm confused. I heard last season that the most we can pay Hayward is 12.8 and the longest we can sign him for is four years. I keep hearing crazy numbers on the radio of 14 & 15 mil and they keep saying five years. Is it true that we can pay up to 14 or 15 million for Hayward or is 12.8 still the max.

You heard wrong last season....

Assist to turnover ratio was 1.89. List him as a SG and Butler, Carter, Beal and Snell are higher. Ginobili was at 1.8. As a small forward, he's essentially equal to Batum. LBJ was at 1.6. Parsons was at 2.8. Assists per game he finished second behind Harden out of all SG's and SF's, but with more rebounds. Again, a disappointing season in terms of efficiency, but 16-5-5. He's going to get paid!

Deceiving. Guys like Lebron and Manu drive all the time. I'll give them a free pass when they do occasionally turn it over. Hayward decides to try to take a guy off the dribble once and the ball's going the other way.

I think Hayward is a better player than he showed last year. I really think a bunch of guys on this roster are better than they showed last year. But I still think paying him over 10M per year is insane. I'd almost rather have Parsons than Hayward and if Hayward is getting more money then I definitely would rather have Parsons. I hope to have Hayward back, I really like the way he plays. But the money needs to be right.
.
I was one firmly against the Jazz giving AK a max contract. For a lot of the same reason's I don't want anything to do with Hayward as a max or even near max player. I just don't think he has it in him to live up to that kind of contract. Even if he is better than he showed under a terrible system/coach.

Parsons is probably going to get over 10M per year also.

The most other teams can offer is 25% of the salary cap with smaller raise for 4 years.

The Jazz can offer the same 25% but with bigger % raise for 5 years.

25% of cap in 2013-14 will be $13.7 Mil.

1. We're going into 14/15 now. The cap should increase by about $4.5mm

2. Take a look at the footnote with those max numbers. The 0-6 max is not actually 25%, but something close to 25% X 42.14/44.74.

3. (This is more for the poster you were responding to) The max is the maximum amount for the first year of the contract. If a team signs its own free agent, it can give him annual raises equal to 7.5% of the first year salary. If a team signs another team's free agent, it can give him annual raises equal to 4.5% of the first year salary.

IINM, we can sign him for 5 years. If he signs an offer sheet, he can only sign for four. Not a huge consideration for Gordon since he is young. In fact, he might prefer just 4 years so he can get a bigger contract later. According to the cbafaq page, the maximum salary last season for a player with <6 years in the league was $13.7M. Maximum salaries are calculated as a percentage of BRI, not the cap. A 25% contract calculated against the projected 2014/15 cap would be nearly $16M. Against BRI for 2014/15, it's probably closer to $15M. Still not what we'd want to pay for Hayward, though.

I know it has been reported that Cleveland was interested in Hayward, but Twitter is blowing up saying he is in Cleveland today and the Cavs are going to offer him to a max deal.

Buh-bye, Gordo. Would be foolish of Utah to match an offer sheet for $15M, 15.7M, 16.4M, $17M.
