But during last season it was already assumed by many that Gordon Hayward was going to get the max. I watched a few Utah games, mainly cause I took him in fantasy and was fortunate enough to
catch the game where he lit the Thunder up, the dude has the tools and I can see he would get the max. Players of lesser quality have max deals right now.
"Max guy" is arbitrary. At least half of the people in this thread probably think that means he will be getting LeBron money.
The term has become ynonymous with 20 million dollar deals to a lot of people, its funny.
