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.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

      NHL Draft 2025

      By Rocky Davis · Posted

      Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
