    Thats the obvious amount that was gonna be offered. Markkenen is a top 60 guy and you need to offer max for a top 60. Just like Sengun, and soon Amen

    This won't hurt the Jazz much because no free agent wants to sign there and they won't be any good regardless.

    This is actually great news if you hate the Worriers, which you should. Harkonnen was the one tiny, partial, unlikely hope they had for Stephanie's next couple of years. Heh. This re-signing in Utah means Golden State is probably stuck in the 10th or 11th seed for the foreseeable future, or perhaps out of the play-in altogether. Will be really fun to hear all the kvetching in the Bay Area.

    I think your right, but I'm not sure, and I AM a math scientist. Numbers still confound me.

    I actually hoped they had traded for Markannen cuz he is so unreliable. Health is so undervalued.

    Lauri still has no rings and has a worse legacy than Harden.

    The Jazz are a mediocre organization at best with an active GM.

    Stephanie has his rings, he shouldn't be the desperate one.

    GSW is procrastinating with the rebuild and Utah is also on the treadmill of mediocrity until they develop a true superstar.
