## Resource

The Utah Jazz just handed Keyonte George a massive five-year, $157 million extension, locking him down through 2031 and making him a cornerstone of their young core alongside Markkanen and Jackson. This move ensures long-term stability for George, avoiding the free agency uncertainty that cost them Kessler, while also reshaping the roster’s future—potentially sidelining Isaiah Collier as a sixth man and complicating Brice Sensabaugh’s path to re-signing. Despite the hefty price tag, George’s AAV stays under $32M, keeping him off the top-20 guard list—and giving the Jazz flexibility as the cap climbs. But with more money tied up, every decision now carries heavier weight. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
