Lauri Markkanen agrees to 5 yr/$238 mil contract with Jazz

[Primetime]

I’m fine with the deal. Like I was trying to say it might be a slight overpay now but should age well assuming he maintains this level of play

And yeah it’s relatively low risk for Utah

Yup. And also depends on how you view him compared to someone like Michael Porter Jr.
Porter got a 5 year/200m deal to be a one dimensional unreliable 3rd option for a championship team.

Would an aspiring championship team be okay with Lauri as their 3rd option at that price? Probably, i think

No hate, but did you research this any?

In every contract extension thread we say its an overpay...

There should be a Coli Flowchart Diagram for these signings. Happens every year, then they get upped depending on performance a year or 2 later.

I'm not Ethiopian, you goofy

 

[Rekkapryde]

This is the most ridiculous deal of this offseason, Ainge has lost it

Salary floor contract.

Gotta pay someone something to hit that 140 mill team salary minimum

 

[Regular_P]

This was expected but I really don't understand what Utah's plan is. They are firmly in 30-35 win territory.

 

[pete clemenza]

It’s Utah. They always have to overpay

No one has ever wanted to live there except MAGA Stockton and Pedo Malone

I think those days are over with though. Bron, KD, Curry, etc. won't play there but that generation is almost done and over with. These new kids will play anywhere. Its still the NBA and they're paying millions upon millions.

 

[duckbutta]

not a bad deal, a guy who doesnt mind being in utah and is a good player.

He definitely minds being in Utah...that is why they had to pay him max money to stay

I love it here...as long as you make me one of top 20 highest paid players in the nba

 

[beenz]

a hell of an overpay for a dude that is not a #1 option and will NEVER lead the jazz anywhere. great deal for lauri tho
