situation went down. They gambled and lost. They tried to get him to sign an extension and he thought he had more value on the FA market than the Jazz did. He was right.

I like that it got done, so he doesn't spend all year pressing

At this point, I'd offer Kanter....

Usually how it happens? Like how it happened with Favors and Hayward?

What should have worried you is that Burks wouldn't agree to the extension,

No kidding. The Jazz really are punked by a lot of agents. It's VERY tough being

that is how it happened with Favors actually

ManicBlue

10/31/14 10:06am

What are you talking about? The Jazz signed Favors to an extenstion similar

I agree

Or Wesley Mathews

That was a complete fluke. That sort of thing never happens in the NBA.

According to Kevin O'Connor, Matthews agent wasn't being very cooperative

Jazz could have matched IIRC and chose not to

ManicBlue

10/31/14 10:23am

Yes they could have, but at the time they didn't have the financial flexibility

hessrp

10/31/14 10:30am

I disagree .. the Jazz could have matched

ManicBlue

10/31/14 10:43am

Raja made $3 million per not $5 mill, and the contract was 3 years not 4

It was only front loaded in the respect that

ManicBlue

Agreed. And it's funny that the same people that blame the "idiot Jazz

Also, IIRC, when the Blazers made that offer......

Finally, a smart move.
