Mildly surprised - didn't think The Jazz would offer more than 20 mil per without being forced to match
I thought the whole point of extending early is taking a slight hit to get that set for life money in the bank in case of some injury. I guess The Jazz figured barring that they were either going to pay it now or pay it later.

Just stop, Jamezz. Stop.
I agree. $100,000,000.00 is a TON of coin. Happy for him for sure but there is just mad money in sports. But you know Rudy will work as hard as ever no matter how much he makes.

110 was max. 8 mill discount

The max extension was 106, so Gobert took a 4 million discount and Giannis took a 6 million discount.
Next year though the cap increases, so overall the Jazz saved around 12-14 million, assuming the CBA doesn't up the max salaries...then the deal will really look smart.

This article indicates its 106.

Really smart? I like Rudy a lot but he's limited and this is pretty darn close to the max.
Can we extend Favors too?

For the first time, I'm actually concerned about where we are headed. That said, it is only four years, so we may not have to worry about paying the tax for a few more years, and by then, if we are close to a ring, I'd expect the Millers ante up. If not, I'd expect we try to trade one of these guys to a contender and we get something of value.

Good for Rudy. Hes a guy you know will still bring effort regardless of pay.
Still possible. Don't look at that number. Keep in mind that Favors starts at about 23 in the first two years to reach the 80 after 4. Meaning if he doesn't extend, he will get 23M over the next 2 seasons and then the max he would be able to get is about 60M over those 2 remaining years... So he's not really sacrificing much.

Too bad they drafted Trey Burke over Dennis Schroder.. These extensions would be even more glorious. His contract is a great bargain for ATL moving forward.
Team would be better and much younger.
Then the Jazz make the playoffs last season and use the 1st rd pick on Wade Baldwin (whos physical profile is very similar to Hill's and he looks like a competent defender already)
sign Harrison Barnes and keep Chris Johnson instead of Joe Johnson + trading for Diaw..

We could have drafted Baldwin though, he was available when we pick, but we went for experience instead.
It was basically Hill's 1 year (with potential for more) vs Baldwin type decision.

Yeah but point is even if they made the playoffs Baldwin would've been on the board and if they had Schroder their hand wouldn't have been forced to move for Hill.. the team would be much younger as a result and have an extra 4 year restricted rookie with upside.
George Hill is certainly going to be asking for at least 14 a year.. so the $$ lines up.. (same for Chris Johnson and Harrison Barnes vs Diaw and Iso Joe)
You can play the "Should've drafted" game with any team. And signing Harrison Barnes to a max deal would've been awful.
