Didn't they offer him a max contract when he left for Boston?

They would've gladly signed him to that when he left. I think Commando is referencing earlier in Hayward's career when the Jazz could've offered him a max, but instead told him to go find one and they matched the offer. That supposedly was a slap in the face to Gordon and damaged the relationship. But that would be me speaking for him, and I'm not certain that's what he means. Because when he left, the Jazz would've paid Too Big Yo whatever they could've.

Yes that's what I'm referring to. I see that as the reason he left to begin with-- not what the Jazz were willing to pay him later.

They missed an obvious reference after Spider-Man says, “you’re wearing my suit, mate.” Spida should have then said, “you’re wearing my shoes, mate.” And then they laugh and laugh!

My problem with it: is that Tom Holland or Peter Parker? Parker does not have a British accent, and Holland does not own a spidey suit (at least probably not one that slings web goo). Confusing!

It's true. And I don't think they recognized Jake Gyllenhaal as himself- just his character in the movie.

Yeah, Mitchell called him Mysterio. This commercial was just all over the place.

As a much less sophisticated consumer of lighthearted commercials trading on nicknames based on an imaginary superhero I wasn’t bothered by these inconsistencies. I was just happy to see a jazz player being popular enough to use in this sort of ad campaign.

Yep. Spida is recognized as a super star in this league already. Utah's stock has dramatically risen with free agents, too, if any of the early reports are to be believed. Guys like Tobias Harris and Bobby Portis supposedly had 'strong interest' in Utah.

I’d have strong interest in going places that are willing to pay me $20M per year to play ball too.

I’m assuming that the Jazz are deciding to move on from Favors. I’m conflicted because I’ve loved having Favs on the team but realize it’s probably the right move to make.

If Utah can sign Bogdanavic, then that makes them really, really tough offensively and their top seven pieces are still really nice. They’d still have room to add another piece - definitely need a solid backup to Rudy.

Guards: Conley, Mitchell (Exum off the bench)
Wings: Bogdanavic, Ingles (O’Neale off the bench)
Big: Rudy (need bench help badly)

I mean, Tony Bradley I think is technically on the roster but yuck. Also, probably need another PG given Exum’s injury history (and a desire to probably not have Don play 1 as much as possible).

Are you guys happy about the Bojan signing? According to the Athletic, they signed him for a slight discount compared to what was expected, which surprised me.

Ed Davis at $5M per is a decent add. He’ll replace 2/3 of Favors offensive production at 1/3 the price, and he’s Favors’ equal on the boards. Maybe even a slightly better rebounder.

[falafel]

Ed Davis is in.
