Dispelling the idea that the Jazz can offer that much more money than anyone

It's still the most money.

and 3 years ago a 4 year deal would've been worth more than the 3 year deal. But

So someone should dispel the myth that $45M is not more than $40M?

What the Jazz could do is offer a 5 year contract but with a PO on the last year

I'd be surprised if Hayward didn't push for a player option on his contract.

That's a great point. I agree.

I think this makes a lot of sense for both. I'd jump on a 5 year, with

I disagree. Being guaranteed another year at 40 million is huge.

ayfan

and 3 years ago, being "guaranteed" $16 million next year would've been huge too

RdF3

His value is much more likely to decline at 32 then at 25 though

ayfan

I don't disagree. But I'm trying to think of the angles his agent would.

It will definitely be a bargaining chip for the Jazz to use, and I would imagine

There's still an "if healthy" for that 5th year but yes you are correct.

I mostly agree.

If you he took this advice on his last contract, next year he would be making

RdF3

5/18/17 12:42pm

True. But I don't think we are going to see another huge spike in the cap.

If the #1 is money - then signing his next "long term" contract that begins

5/18/17 12:49pm

Exactly. Well stated.

More money vs guaranteed money. Risk vs reward, the Jazz as of today can offer

Would you pass up a job you'd rather take because your current one pays 4% more

RdF3

5/18/17 1:08pm

Well, 4% is a lot when it's this kind of money and also its guaranteed money yr5

I'm starting to care less and less about stuff like this. By the time we are
