What is Rudy's actual worth?

OK, so Smith is officially majority owner. Now we can get a deal done.

You said we wouldn't make the playoffs if we replaced Rudy with Myles Turner. How does anybody know for a fact what's gonna happen?

Clarkson is here for a whole offseason
Conley too
Don keeps improving
Oni and other young guys might emerge
Royce gets better

This all Rudy or nothing attitude is annoying. Reminds me of "we are going to be so bad if Hayward leaves" discussions.

I believe he is referring to the part where we never make the playoffs again and sell the team.

Look if Udoka is 90% of what Rudy is then we don't need Rudy and will be fine... That is what Donovan did for us when Hayward left. I think that is extremely unlikely but I'd have said the same thing about DM.

According to this Rudy isn't asking for the supermax. Tim MacMahon said this during a podcast with Brian Windhorst, “I don’t have precise contract figures. I have been told that he did not ask for the full supermax.”

That's encouraging.

My spider senses are tingling. Jazz will announce Rudy's extension today.

I'd like to sign Rudy for 4 years / $145M, but I'm thinking he'll get 5 years / $190M. Maybe more like $200M with incentives.

Who else are the Jazz going to give their money to? They're paying Mike Conley $34M this year.
