There are already people saying NBA free agents in 2018 won't get paid as much as free agents in the past two years. Obviously last summer teams went crazy and spent WAY too much money. This summer they dialed back a bit, but still overspent some. A lot of teams have spent big time $$$$ on average players.
I've been critical of DL for many things, but I think he has positioned the Jazz well for the 2018 free agency market. I guess we'll see if he's lying to us about free agents starting to become attracted to Salt Lake City.
On a side note - Derrick Favors has to be frustrated about timing. He was loyal and signed a four year extension with the Jazz for $40 million and then watched as Hayward signed $160 million in contracts. It pays to have a good agent in the NBA...
