Hollinger REALLY high on the Jazz

Thanks for clearing that up. If I remember correctly they can get a larger raise after their rookie contracts are up.
They can receive a starting salary at 30% rather than 25% of the cap if they meet at least one of the following criteria:


  • Been named the NBA Most Valuable Player.
  • Been named to the All-NBA First, Second or Third team twice.
  • Been voted-in as an All-Star starter twice.

No really. You said they were eligible for the raise early. They are not.

Yes, they are.

Instead of having to wait for their 7th-9th year (likely their 3rd contract) to get 30%, they can get directly after their rookie contract.


I just thought they could be extending in their 4th year and get that, so I was a year off.

So they aren't the same..
 
Yes, why I said basically, as in the basic idea that the player can get a bigger raise earlier in his career for getting multiple awards.

bumbling idiot said:
That new provision that they started with Rose allows rookies to enter the max years earlier if they get two All-Stars or All-NBA teams, or something along those lines.
Players can enter their max years after 4 years, just like before (contradicting your post above). The max is just higher for certain players with 4-6 years of experience.

Basically what I said.

Are you high?
 
You said nothing of the sort.

It's hard to believe what a deluded moron you are sometimes.
 
He's high on something....

The Jazz really only have one somewhat proven player, Favors. The rest? Very questionable.

After watching the playoffs, I've seen how important it is to have several good shooters. Will Burks or Hayward ever become even threats from the outside?

We need a dynamic point guard to truly compete... Harris cannot even sniff the jock straps of Parker, Westbrook, Rondo, etc.

Kanter has a ways to go... Millsap is limited... Jefferson just... Sucks...

And then we have a bench to develop and a coach that needs to develop leadership skills and innovative strategies.

The Jazz don't necessarily suck. But we have a long way to go.... And I'm not so sold on our potential or players. We all heard how valuable Memo's expiring and AK's expiring contracts were going to be... I'll have to wait and see what we trade Jefferson/Millsap/Bell/Harris for... I doubt we end up with Lebron James like so many people here expect.
 
Thriller let's try to keep up. I believe Hollinger is really high on the POTENTIAL of the group we have. He's not talking about Harris/Millsap/Jefferson, he's talking about the 4 young guys we have and the fact that it's possible we have 4/5 of our lineup set IF they all work out.
 
imagine, if we get marshall via trade in the draft... our starting five in 2-3 years could look like this (maybe an other veteran player taking one starting spot away):

pg marshall
sg burks
sf hayward
pf kanter
c favors

Not to mention we will have clear books for 2013 if we decided to stand pat, meaning we can bring in anyone (who is willing to sign here) to the team and construct the team the way the front office/coach see fit.

2013 will really be the official start of the new era of Jazz basketball. Right now we are in the last year of transition from Dwill.

We agree here if, on top of this, Al Jefferson is gone.

If we can get rid of Jefferson without adding on extended contracts for players who really aren't that good (except for if Lillard is a apart of it), then yeah.
