Parsons gets 3 years, $45 million offer from Dallas

[jimmy eat jazz]

Let Hayward walk and sign Loul Deng. We have enough young players, we need a real veteran leader like BIG-AL in the past. Deng is an elite defender and has a very good midrange game.

Trey Burke
Alec Burks
Loul Deng
Enes Kanter
Derrick Favors

We just need another shooting guard off the bench who can hit threes like Morrow and maybe also Garcia to back-up Hood and Deng.

Yep, and Luol Deng is just itching to come here. Proposals like this will have more credibility is there's even the remotest chance they are feasible.

Even if Deng wanted to come here, we'd have to offer him a butt load of money to entice him.

We have to spent some money and I would rather spent 14 Million at Loul Deng for 3 years, than throwing max at Gordon ****ward. He is the superior Player and most importantly one of the best SF in the league, when it comes to defense.

He is basically getting the same contract except Hayward is getting a year longer, reason for that is he probably wants a new contract once Dirk retires so he isn't stuck on a rebuilding team.

LoL Deng has been exposed multiple times when it comes to defense, most overrated defender in the league, he just happened to play in a great defensive system. I wouldn't give more than 8-9 millions for Deng.

Hayward on the other hand is 5 years younger and has more room to improve.

Parsons is obviously a better shooter but that is the ONLY area he has over Hayward. Make your peace with it Hayward haters. The market has spoken and it has said that Hayward is indeed worth 4 years, $63 million. Think it's unfair? Perhaps you'd be happier watching High School basketball.

Parsons does not deserve a contract like this.
He is a good shooter but a lousy defender, especially for "that" money!

Match, and sign Stevenson......swing for the fences

It also demonstrates the state of the market. In other words, if you want even second tier talent in the current FA market, you're gonna have to pay for it--a lot.

It also raises the question: Just who we going to get for Hayward that is as good as him (or close to it) but who costs substantially less?

is it even an option to just save our money for an offseason where there are not as many teams with cap space and the contracts are not so big?
Serious question

 

[fishonjazz]

Infact doesn't this really give DL no other choice but to match on Hayward?

Do the jazz have the option to save thier money for a year when the contracts are not so inflated

I endorse this thread, but had it beat by almost 30 mins

How are the contracts not going to be inflated next year? The cap and tax are expected to rise again.

Jazz bet, and lost. Time to bite the bullet. DL didn't do his homework last year (looking up how many teams had money compared to the amount of talent realistically available.

Jazz need to extend Kanter and Burks this offseason, and not try and lowball them (the Favors deal seemed like a lot then, but with the way this FA season has gone, it turned out to be a steal). There will still be teams with money next year, as this free agency has more money than players and value.

Yes, either with more one year salary dumps, or if they don't reach the floor, every player on the team gets a bonus until we reach it.

Because not everyone has insane contract space like they do now.
