As opposed to what? I highly doubt his offer from another team would be under $8-$9 mill a year. The Jazz have the flexibility. Hopefully it’s front loaded or there’s a team option on the last year. They kept the agent and player happy, looked good to others and may have spent $1-3 million per more than the floor offer they were going to have to match. Now the offer is by their terms. Hopefully he structured it front heavy so ou are only paying $8-9 by the third year or a team option to get rid of the 3rd year althogether if it doesn’t work out. Tbh I think if you weren’t expecting something like this you were kidding yourself. He made $6 mill last season, it wasn’t going down.
 
Last winter I suggested $10 million/year for Dante, a figure that was scoffed at by many on this board. It looks like I was underselling his value to the organization.
 
If I'm being completely honest, I think we overpaid on both Exum and Favors.

well we had money left to spend. worst case favors will not come back next year. burks will be gone next year. maybe we overpaid them for this year. but we are not getting any high caliber player this year anyway. we will be in good shape in 2019 summer

So we have somewhere in between 17M and 40M in cap space next year depending on if we waive Rubio's caphold.

I'm not sure both Exum and Rubio are in the long term plans if we are also planning on signing a marquee/high level free agent... I think it is most likely that we try like hell to get Harris or another target at the trade deadline.

I think all the significant moves are done... One of Udoh or Jonas is going to get waived and replaced with a minimum contract flier (a Royce O'Neale type).
 
The FO has garnered a lot of goodwill this offseason. Drafting Mitchell's choice, Favors, keeping the beautiful one, the recently injured Dante and Seph... the dynamic should be good for everyone to feel appreciated.

The number really only affects if we use our MLE this year, which may never have been the plan. So a couple million is fine one way or another... If you hate the deal at 11 per... you'd hate it at 8 or 9 too.

After seeing how much we gave Exum and Favors, I'm now kind of scared to see how much we'll give Rubio next year.

If we're paying Dante $33 million based on potential, I have some doubts about the Jazz's desire to sign Rubio to an unfavorable contract.
 
Favs deal makes a lot of sense to me and I think having Dante come back is the right thing to do but I am in the camp that we overpaid on this one. I am curious what else was out there for Dante though I am sure the Jazz knew what it was and took it into account. I am guessing JJ is gone.
