Sure take a shorter contract when you're younger if you want to risk it. 7 additional years of wear and tear make a difference.

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

which is why you add on player options for the later years

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.

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

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

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
