Re: Jazz Unable To Agree Upon Extension With George Hill

[RealGM Wiretap]

The Utah Jazz were unable to agree upon a contract extension with George Hill.

The Jazz could have given Hill the remainder of their cap space this season and an extension of up to three years with annual raises of 7.5 percent.

The best offer Utah could make to Hill is for $88.3 million to be committed to the Jazz through the 2019-20 season, which computes to a three-year, $74.7 million extension plus $13.6 million this season.

The Jazz remain interested in re-signing Hill in the offseason.

Damn that sucks for the Jazz. Being able to throw in the 13M this year seems like it could help to create a real win win contract for Hill and the Jazz.I'm thinking they didn't offer the 88M from the article, but if so he should've taken it IMO. That would essentially be over 29M a year.

I think the number that was the sticking point was 3, as in the # of years the contract wld run for ... Players not named LeBron tend to favor the security of longer deals. The logic makes more sense if u consider where he's @ career-wise. This will probably be his last/best big payday.
