Jody says Dudley wants more than 2 years.

Then keep on keeping on. I'm not even a fan of 2 years at $18 million. I'd be perfectly happy to walk away from that. Jazz need to find the diamond in the rough. Someone who contributes, or at least doesn't screw things up for the future.

That hurts. If the Jazz sign anyone to a 3+ year deal, the Millers are likely ok with going over the cap for Hayward though. Just something to keep in mind

He didn't say that hill will walk. He said that is one of the options.
The other option is that we have to overpay him which would maybe mean that we can't afford some of our other core guys.

Both options suck imo

Yep. Thanks for the explanation. If he's not signing an extension, it means he wants more and Jazz can't throw money into the year(s) they have cap space. Just don't have enough money to keep high- priced backups if Jazz are planning to re-sign the current starting 5. I already figure Burks will be a casualty. And maybe a choice will have to be made between Lyles and Favors. That's one of the reasons I've been in the trade Hayward camp: $30m is going to really hurt once Hood, Exum and Gobert all come off their rookie deals and Favors likely gets $20m+.

The other option, of course, is simply pinch pennies this offseason, kick booty next year, and chase legit max free agents next offseason.

DL probably talking to Trevor Booker right now. I knew this would happen. That's why a lot of us said the time to get a very good FA was two years ago. Would have been under the old cap and a 4 yr deal would have expired right in line with Utah needing cap/tax space.

Lmfao. You need to change your user name to Eeyore.

Trey Burke might actually net the Jazz something. PG market is scant and the money being tossed around is ridiculous.

Maybe that's why Jazz tried to draft all of them.

Ryan Kelly anyone ?? He's listed at 100 of the top 100 FA's.Jazz might have a chance.....

I don't know if you noticed, but when the guy wasn't injured playing on one of the worst teams ever to be put on an NBA court in the 15-16 Lakers, he couldn't even scrape minutes. NO THANKS

Lol...that's actually the nickname my daughter and ex call me

Why not offer Dudley 2 years 25/27 million... He gets about what he'd get for the 3 year deal. It'd be tough for us to go 3 years with him.

 

[JazzFever]

3 years, front loaded (heavily).

Wanting that extra year cost Jim Boylen the Jazz head coaching job. . .

I agree so much.

Howard to the Hawks....

3 years 70.5 million

Maybe I'm confused on this Dudley stuff. The report was Brooklyn had offered 2yr/18M. I took this to mean 18M/year, but some of the discussion here seems to be about 18M over two years.

I can't imagine that Dudley's only fetching 9M/year.

Actually either scenario would seem a bit surprising. But if the negotiation is to surpass $9M/year, wouldn't the Jazz easily go for that?

Thank God! (Not that I ever believed that DL would have actually hired him.)

 

[Dr. Jones]

No way you get Dudley for $19 over 2 years (9.5/)

I'd pay him that just to do my work around the house. Such a ******* steal!

Can't really do front loaded anymore. Cba doesn't allow it.
