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.

      Dan Morgan is an awful GM

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Fans are fed up with this organization's endless string of failures. And, while Morgan's less than a year into his current position, everything he's done is barreling down the same path shat out by his predecessor. If we're just pointing out this alarming lack of discrepancy between the performances of two GMs, it's really not hating. He's just proving to not be a good hire. And, hey, it's alright, because whoever Tepper hires next will, at best, only suck a little bit less. I don't mind people who are optimistic and hope Morgan turns out to be better than he's been thus far. That'd be great. None of us are rooting for him to fail. However, the embarrassing pattern of decisions persists. And it's not a good look.

      Diontae Johnson had “sigh of relief” when he was traded to Ravens

      By strato · Posted

      You have to view everything that was done in 2024 through the ‘eliminate excuses for Bryce Young’ lens IMO. It only makes sense that way.     If you allow for that, you will see that Diontae fulfilled his purpose.

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      The Panthers' beat writer called the Johnson trade return "a warm bottle of RC Cola." If you're quick to discount every bit of news that disagrees with your view, maybe your view is the problem. Morgan deals himself a bad hand and he deserves every bit of criticism for it. Fitterer was the worst GM ever, but Morgan is a very similar brand of awful. Certainly when it comes to trades since 2021, Morgan's body of work makes him at best, only one of the worst negotiators in the history of North American professional sports. That's simply pointing out the numerous shortcomings he's put on display. If I point at a guy who shot someone and say "he murdered a guy," I'm not hating on him -- I'm pointing out what he did. If Morgan wants to not be labeled an incompetent clown who makes 31 other franchises better, simply stop being an incompetent clown who makes 31 other franchises better. Or, wait until Tepper makes him the fall guy after Evero.
