Jazz need his firepower
Good

Great deal for us. He saved our season last year and doesn't take any plays off.

We need him in future years but this is an obvious overpay. We were bidding against nobody. This was the year to get a good deal and use our draft pick to address a need and so far we've done neither.

I like Clarkson so I'm happy, and 13 million a year doesn't seem too bad. That said I'm pretty dumb about the financial side so I don't know if it's an overpay or not.

Yessssireeeee!!

I dont think that is even close to true. That is a popular narrative on this board with zero substantiation.

13mil per is in the range he was projected to get, think most I read was 12-15mil per year

A tad high but I'll take it.

Jazz do fall in love with their players, don't they.?

Nobody with cap space was chasing him. His market was the mid-level and we went 50% above that.

I feel like it’s an overpay for his value, but in-line with market expectations. I think other comparable players, IMO, such as Jamal Crawford and Lou Williams were paid less respective money of their teams cap spaces but I can accept 13/year.
