The Non-Jazz NBA Thread in the Jazz Section

So a bunch of good starting caliber wings with upside got in the 23-25 million range and we got Walker holding out for 30 million. Great.

Yeah because they weren't asked to throw games and are on teams where they could compete within the next several years, lol. The Hawks and Nuggets hope to make the conference finals, the Jazz hope to finish 29th in defense.

Utah is the worst possible situation for Kessler (coach that minimizes center on defense, organization that is trying to lose by being bad on purpose defensively, almost no ball handling or passing) so he should demand a high premium in exchange for that.
 
Walker probably being smart. I think the big man is a premium position again. Him and Duren going to bag chase

I think just like Daniels he wanted 5/150 but settled in on 4/100. We exited the negotiation table before the waters arrived though.

The good news is once the Eason extension is done we will no doubt have the number 1 RFA next summer. We read the landscape brilliantly.
 
Where is this $30M number coming from btw? Not saying it's wrong, just wondering where it came from. @Handlogten's Heros and @Elizah Huge were talking about some numbers IIRC.
I quoted a convo from Locke. I think its logical to think the negotiations were like 15-35M to start then would move to a more reasonable 20-30M range. Walker didn't hold out though. Jazz just said "we gotta preserve our precious cap space, so $20M or nah? We will get you 28-30M next summer for sure."

I heard somewhere that the Jazz were 50M apart... that could have been 20-30M or 25-35M though... so who knows.
 
Just so everyone knows, the Hawks are gonna trade Daniels, the better of Milwaukee/New Orleans pick they got from New Orleans, and stuff for Giannis. Trae/Giannis/Zingis coming down the pike.
