Zach Lowe tells Utah (and a couple other teams) what to do in free agency

Those getting excited about Harris need to go get laid or something. Smell like cake up in this bitch.
 
Why is Orlando going after Millsap when they have Harris?
He's got similar measurements, similar stats and is much younger.
They could sign him for less and keep building.
 
I think Orlando would match max offers for Harris. The tweets saying that he won't are coming from writers from Boston and New York. Also depends on if they sign Millsap and if the owner wants to spend. I think they would match anyways, though.

Paul Millsap's new deal with the Hawks will be $58 million-plus over next three years, league sources tell RealGM.


Millsap has a player option for the 3rd year as well. I definitely think Orlando matches now.
 
The most sensible thing to come out of the spending frenzy is that now Paul Millsap will finally earn more than DWill and Boozer. Took a long time to see this kind of justice.

'grats to Millsap. Still my guy, bro. Hawks are dialed up on my League Pass.

Not until you find some people to pitch in on it.

D-Will is actually going to make more for the next 2 years ($21,042,800 and $22,331,135) lol
 
-Millsap is the class of free agency (simultaneously showing his loyalty and also making the shrewdest move I've seen).
-Harris isn't signing a max contract to come off the bench and a team shouldn't sign him to a max contract to come off the bench. He'd be coming off the bench here.
-I've been skimming, but does anyone here seriously give one **** about Avery Bradley?

I was sloppy. I meant that Millsap will earn more, total, from this point forward in their respective careers.

Source: Iman Shumpert has agreed to a four-year, $40 million deal with the Cavs. Last year is a player option.

10M per for an ok role player....
 
Anyone still feel like Alec Burks is overpaid?

I'd say at least $13 million per year

DL took a LOT of heat on this board for the contract he gave Alec. Looking like a pretty shrewd move now. I know...haters gonna say we should have let him walk and signed Carroll instead.

I'm going to laugh when the "did nothing" Jazz win 50-55 games this year and all these writers suddenly start praising the decision to let the youngsters develop. Seriously, out of all the non- playoff teams, the Jazz were the only one with a starting lineup already under contract (and a few key subs, too). That's why Utah didn't need to buy players at a 30% markup. Teams are overpaying based on the cap going up next season. There is no value in the market right now.
 
Alec probably would've got about the same even with the injury, maybe a tiny bit less. If Shump can get 40 Alec is worth that much.

you've got to scrap old notions of value. Right now, the jazz have a chance to buy talent at what will be better value two and three years from now. The 30% markup (or however you want to quantify it) is real. That is the value of the market (and, there is no such thing as a market without value).

There are a few good acquisitions left out there. I'm holding my breath that the jazz get one.

BTW, I didn't say one bitchy word about Alec's contract. Given what we knew about the cap, it was obviously good value.

Exactly.

Everyone is like, go get a free agent, they are really cheap. Uh...no they arent. The cap might as well be 100 mil. Players are getting paid like it is. At least the lower level players are.
