- Five-year extension worth $157.5 million; base value reported as $155M.
- Deal begins in 2027-28 and runs through 2031-32.
- No player or team option included.
- Reported structure: ~4% annual raises (not the max 8%).
- Contains $500K in annual incentives; sources say five $100K bonuses tied to games-played and playoff-series wins.
- One reported "small bonus for team defense while he’s on the court."
- Locks a 22-year-old breakout guard into Utah’s core through 2032.
- Flatter raises may help Jazz cap flexibility as they build around George.
- Incentives are mostly unlikely now, per reporting, so guaranteed money is the headline impact.
