I can get on board with this

10. Gordon Hayward | SF | RFA | 2013-14 Team: Utah Jazz

Hayward
2013-14 Salary: $3.5 million | Suggested AAV: $9 million/year, four years

Hayward has struggled with his shooting touch this season (3P% below 30 percent), but there will be no shortage of suitors willing to take a chance on him, particularly if he doesn't have to be a main offensive option. His size, age, and skill level all make him a worthwhile investment, although his valuation gets knocked down to reflect the precipitous drop in shooting efficiency.
 
Where is this from? I can totally get on board with 9 per. I do think Hayward will improve, but I am losing a little bit of faith in him.
 
9per would be a heist IMO. Do it do it do it. Thiago Splitter is being paid 9 per.
 
We can match anything, the key is how much a team will pony up to poison us (looking at you, Paul Allen).

I think he's a $10 mil player, but think he'll get $12 mil.
 
Early in the season I thought $40M/4 years was a fair deal for Hayward. At this point, I think $9M/yr is still overpaying. I think $8M/year is the fair/right number.
 
I'm honestly okay up to a front loaded 4 year 48 million dollar contract. I feel like that could be overpaying given his production of this season, but this is Utah.
 
1 out of every 10 times a good player signs a FA deal you're like, "wow thats a good deal."

The other 90% of the time you're like, "lol they overpaid."

Whatever you think Hayward is "worth" add a couple million a year to that.
 
I sure hope Phoenix or Boston doesn't do something stupid and offer Hayward a max deal. I want him to stay in a Jazz jersey, but not in a deal he hasn't proven he deserves. Just because he was drafted a pick over Paul George, doesn't mean that he deserves Paul George money.

I'm interested in the front-loaded option. I don't know much about it. Does it have to go down each year or could we do say $14 mil - $14 mil - $10 mil - $10 mil for the 4 years? I think that would be a great option to retain him and have a little extra for when we should be peaking in a couple years.

Also, who was the last player to sign a front-loaded deal? Especially somebody signing it as a contract after their rookie contract?

EDIT: I guess I could have looked a little harder. Looks like Splitter's deal is front-loaded: 10/9.25/8.5/8.5. I guess I'm wondering if that's a realistic option for Hayward.

If the Jazz pay Hayward $12M/year...Dennis Lindsey is officially an idiot and is not the young bright mind we thought he was.

You been smokin jeffreys? The Jazz are the only team that can offer him Paul George money. The best any other team can do falls like $20 mil short of Paul George money. It is called restricted free agency for a reason bro.
 
Can you load 2nd and 3rd years of a contract?

If so, any team who wants Hayward should load those years of his deal. That's when Enes and Alec are up.
