Jazz negotiating a contract extension with George Hill, can offer $88.3M through 2019-2020
The deadline is today at 11.5pm ET
The Utah Jazz want to sign George Hill to a contract extension before today’s deadline (11.59 pm ET).
Per ESPN, Sources told ESPN that the sides continue to work toward an agreement in hopes of beating the league's annual deadline for what is known in the NBA as a renegotiation-and-extension. Such deals can't be struck between March 1 and June 30 of any salary-cap year.
The Jazz can give Hill -- who is making $8 million in the final season of his contract -- the rest of its cap space this season and an extension of up to three years with annual raises of 7.5 percent. The best offer Utah can make 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.
