The question that every Jazz fan has right now is “what is going to happen to Rudy Gobert?”. It’s been the hot topic of conversation over the last couple of weeks, and has heated up every day that inches closer to the supermax extension deadline in four days. Yesterday a report came from ESPN 700’s Porter Larsen:
So far:
- Rudy Gobert asked the Jazz to fulfill the supermax contract he is eligible for(35% of cap)
- Jazz responded with an offer of the normal max(28% of cap)
- Gobert's camp turned that offer down
- Two sides have 5 days to agree on an extension— Porter Larsen (@Larsen_ESPN) December 16, 2020This report sparked a lot of conversation on Twitter, but I don’t think it really tells us anything more than we already know.
