If he pops, all a team has to do a offer him more than the MLE. Or what am I missing here?Yeah I been saying this. If he pops we still match and keep him so that’s the good news. We save a bunch in tax… but it’s obviously not ideal. While I love him… who knows maybe he is just okay or can’t stay healthy. I would have passed on the second rounders and taken the guaranteed deal.
Sure, but in contrast to most rookie situations, the Jazz lose team control very quickly if he’s what’s been advertised.I’d like to see Butler play a few games before I anoint him anything.
I am super excited about him, BTW.
No… the arenas rules are complex but assuming we don’t have space we could offer him the average nba salary. It could be like 4/60m in 2 years. It’s what Toronto did with Powell back in the day and Miami did it with Richardson. It’s what Sacramento is using to keep Holmes. It’s based on cap stuff but I’d say if he’s worth more than that after 2 years then we are in amazing shape… and we’d figure out a way to clear some space maybe.If he pops, all a team has to do a offer him more than the MLE.

Hey we are halfway to Gay Love if Kevin Love gets bought out we will make it happen.I'm sad there won't be Gay-Favors. But Gay at 12.1M for two years is nice. We have more depth. I know Gay used to be a good defender - hopefully he still is.
If we bring back Rodney we can have the Gay Hood.Hey we are halfway to Gay Love if Kevin Love gets bought out we will make it happen.
I’ve always wanted a Gay Butler.I was thinking it would allow Rudy the opportunity to compare his straight black side to his Gay Whiteside.
I am with you buuuuuuut we’ve never had anyone as well equipped to do that as we do now. I believe he tried to do it with Green for like a half once… we shall see… even Bud started making adjustments so who knows.Color me very, very skeptical on Quin running small ball 5. We’ll see but I’m skeptical.
Gobert and Davis were injured and TB had played like 20 career minutes up to that point and couldn’t play all 48.I am with you buuuuuuut we’ve never had anyone as well equipped to do that as we do now.

IIRC, it was a game against the Bucks on the road and they almost won?Gobert and Davis were injured and TB had played like 20 career minutes up to that point and couldn’t play all 48.
Yep:IIRC, it was a game against the Bucks on the road and they almost won?
I don’t need details or facts… I prefer blind optimism thanks.Gobert and Davis were injured and TB had played like 20 career minutes up to that point and couldn’t play all 48.
