They have quite a few threads since the offer was agreed upon.  One of which already with 500+ post.  They're some interesting opinions

 

the highlights:

 

Apparently Jordan is the GM.  Ive seen this for awhile.  Hes often credited/blamed for every decision the team makes.

 

Fans don't want to match.  They pretty much all agree we are over paying and would rather "offer Parsons or Monroe."

 

Every now and then a rational poster comes in a says match the deal as Utah isn't the most desirable landing spot for a player of his caliber through FA.  Build through the draft.

 

A few wouldn't be opposed to a s&t for MKG and/or Vonleh(wtf?)

 

revisiting AK47 quite a bit.  seems like a nightmare over there

 

They are torn as a fan base over the Novak deal already.  Lots of arguments sprouting up over that.

 

A couple posters acknowledge he'd fit better here playing with Jefferson than returning to essentially the identical team which he struggled with at times last year.  They think his best chance to be worth the deal is in charlotte.

 

some have convinced themselves we are the only team that would offer a max deal and Utah should call us stupid and force us to honor the contract. 

 

animosity over "being all about the money"  Sighting Duncan and Dirk deals as taking less for the team.  Some even went as far as saying they will boo him.

 

Nothing ground breaking just found it interesting what the other side is thinking.

I saw where they said Hayward had a bad relationship with "Ty" (guessing that's Burke?). And like you said MJ is in charge of everything and he sucks and that they're still mad about MJ and the Bulls beating the Jazz etc..

Said we were WAY too high on MKG and they would be fine with a MKG + Zeller/Vonleh with possibly a first

If we fuging trade assets and do that shitty contract as well, I'm gonna be really surprised.

From what others have said that can't happen. Language in the contract states he can't be traded this year. Utah would have to match every term of the contract.

We can trade today up until 12 when he signs the offer sheet. Once he's signed it.....it's done. He either plays for us or Utah matches. But up until he signs we can work a S&T

Good! I hope their front office is as smart as them.

Told damn "KKL, WoW, Gay Cowboy", best move is for then to go after Monroe!

After nabbing Vonleh that would have been over kill.

Plus Monroe plays in the same areas as Big Al. So you're not spreading the floor very much for Al to do work.

How do you compare Dirk and Tim Duncan to this...and why would a 24 year old with the means to sign a max contract take less when Utah could easily have had him for substantially less a few months ago?

Plus Dirk and Duncan already got their big deals. Not everybody should be Mother Teresa so that a team can sign a backup shooting guard or avoid the luxury tax.

Also those guys were unrestricted..they can adjust dictate their salaries..Heyward is basically being stolen by cash...it takes a bit more.

No one thinks Heyward would get this offer as an unrestricted FA.

      Joe Person: Panthers are NOT expected to extend Bryce Young before the 2026 season

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      But that's the point, if the locker room feels that way, then you're going to upset them by still keeping Bryce around and playing him over the Top 10 pick, as opposed to bringing in a vet to start until the rookie is ready. Again, it goes one of 3 ways... 1. Bryce plays well enough to earn an extension 2. Bryce still sucks and we draft his replacement who starts Week 1 with a new QB as his backup 3. Bryce still sucks, we draft his replacement in the 1st, but they start the season backing up a new vet QB who was brought in to be his mentor. With an OUTSIDE chance at a 4th option where Bryce plays well enough to convince the team to let him play out the 5th year option and then make a decision.  Which I can't see it happening, but there is still a non zero chance of that happening I guess. The only way we draft a QB next year and still have Bryce on the roster, is if we're taking someone in the middle rounds hoping to develop them as a long term backup to Bryce.

      Brown on BY9 while talking to Chris Long

      I hear you. But I am not absolving Legette just because he is from my neck of the woods or anything else.  Tge comment was more about the fans uneven application of blame.  I do agree that there is a noticeable disconnect between him and the QB and that he might do better with a more polished and capable delivery man.  Abd don’t feel that they used XL right, or at least how I expected it to look.  And that could be a function of a reticent WB that shies away from that style of attack. I mean it was either him or Canales that pretty much eliminated downfield from the playbook - even while we see guys running free at times. It Could work if they commit to it.  Whoever isn’t committing.

      Lot of passion there.  Look, if Bryce plays down to the level that we feel the need to draft a QB high, you don’t think the locker room might be ready for anything that helps them win?   There are s lot of angles to this that could come into play depending on what happens this year.
