contracts you will see that his salary will in no way prevent the Jazz from re-signing other guys on the roster. It may prevent them from signing a big-name free agent, but name me one big-name free agent that has ever signed with the Jazz.

hayward has a great gig w/ the jazz...the designated overpaid player so the jazz

Almost had a triple double so he wasn't completely useless even though his shot

he played great defense and got good stats. Now if he could get his shot to fall

Rise Against

and he disappears in the 4th qtr...absolutely useless in crunch time

Kanter will be a free agent after season. Jazz won't match offer.

or if they do match they'll wait to overpay him first.

You wouldn't think so but who thought the Jazz would give GH a max deal?

Alec Burks potential is the MOST obvious reason why Gordon shoulda walked in the

Best case imo, is Burks is Gordon Hayward without the rebounding or assists.

Ebolarama

10/30/14 10:39am

Gordon is versatile & very valuable. But not in any way a max player.

Mantis Mutu

10/30/14 10:47am

No, but the Jazz had to pay him that and had to keep him. It will also be a low

Ebolarama

10/30/14 10:56am

And because not all max contracts are equal. Max for a player coming off rookie

Kind of how they are in regards to college football?

Ebolarama

Still doesn't mean Hayward isn't overpaid.

tacallaway

10/30/14 11:27am

I dont think anyone disagrees with you on that point. Just how overpaid is up

Once I realized this I was totally fine with Haywards contract last summer.

If they're ahead of the wave--great. That'll be a new trend for them.
