Trade idea, Hayward to the Suns

[Batman]

I've read a lot about people wanting to trade Hayward to Boston but what about Hayward to Phx for the # 4 pick and 13th pick? Would Phx just laugh? Would Utah want to make it a bigger trade? knight? Bledsoe? Just wanted to see what ya'll thought?

If we get Devin Booker instead of the 13th pick, I'm all in.

Suns get:
Alec Burks
Gordon Hayward
#12

Jazz Get
#4 Pick
Devin Booker
Archie Goodwin

Because some of us believe that he is not worthy of a max contract. Therefore, if we don't trade him he either walks for nothing or the jazz max him (over pay him)
Some of us think that both of those options suck and think a trade is better than losing him for nothing and is also better than paying him max money.

I think you knew that already though.

The argument that some fans don't think he's worthy of a max contract I think is just idiotic and shows some fans have no idea what the hell they are talking about. He would have got the Max with pretty much any time that has cap space. The market demanded he get the Max, the Jazz didn't over pay him. And if you want to say they did over pay him, haha, this new collective bargaining agreement is going to piss you off cause countless guys will get the Max and deserve it less than Hayward.

Fans need to change their mindset. Somehow they think getting the Max means these players are suppose to be on a Superstar level, but that isn't the case. The market dictated it. And next year he'll be in a bargain contract with how much the cap is gonna rise.

And in the name of transparency Fishon, when I say you I am referring to anyone who feels this way, not you in particular. Good Vibes.

Is the idea that if we max him he won't be trade-able anymore because of his contract? I'm legitimately wondering, I haven't heard the opinion we shouldn't pay Hayward, just the worry he won't want the money and go elsewhere.

I don't ever like the idea of maxing a guy who isn't worth it. That's just me. As for simply being able to trade him later, we have no idea if we will be able to trade him later. Trades are not that simple to make. They take a lot of work to pull off.
I bet the jazz wanted to trade ak at times but the return from the other team might not have been enough or his salary might have been to big for another team to want.

Maybe Hayward gets a bad injury or simply doesn't improve anymore and in fact gets worse. Sure we might still be able to trade him, we would just have to find a team with lots of cap space and try to do a salary dump. We give them Hayward and some picks for taking his salary off our hands.


That's an extreme but my point is that simply saying "we can just trade him later if we decide he is overpaid or we need to pay a different player" makes is sound so easy and common to just get trades done whenever you want for whatever you want.

Another thing, if you think we overpaid him, what the hell does it matter, we had tons of cap space the entire time his contract was on the books. Who the hell else were we gonna spend it on? Durant? LeBron?... Wes Matthews coming off a torn Achilles which is the most debilitating injury for a basketball player? Jeff Teague? Haha. I mean come on. The whole argument is just stupid and not thought out.

So you think that every player in the league is getting paid what they should? There are no bad contracts out there.
Andres beidrens got paid what he got paid so that made it a good contract that teams should be happy to get him on because the market said so.

If someone offered neto 12 million per year then we should match it cause market says so.

I disagree.

I think that just because a different team places a value on a player doesn't mean we have to value that player the exact same amount. I feel like we should be able to use our brains and determine a players value on our own instead of just letting another team place value and we just say ok.

There is some merit to max contract I regards to trade value. The lakers and knicks both willing to go over cap space and need a trade partner to make this work.

Question is not Hayward's inherent value but yet how to exploit it best

We can't see the future. We don't know who we can or can't spend it on.

Who the hell cares if we pay mack 20 million per year right? Who else we gonna spend it on? That doesn't make sense to me.

It's crazy to me to think that people, especially Jazz fans, believe Hayward is not worth a max but obviously that is just completely relative to opinion and we don't necessarily need to get into that discussion.

It makes sense what you're saying. Trades definitely are a process. I remember listening to a podcast a long time ago with some NBA front offices that explained that sometimes trades take a whole season or more. Max money contracts are even more complicated because you usually have to get close in salaries.

The Jazz number one priority should be to draft and keep their talent correct? You have gotta pay Hayward don't you? I think you are one of the more optimistic fans in where this team is headed. Is it really time to move a talent like Hayward?

Half the people here think Bradley Beal is worth a max contract, but Gordon Hayward isn't? Makes sense guys.

And it's not like we have a bad team. 10th best point differential in the league, while missing our starting PG. We played bad at the end, ran into bad luck, but we're still a damn good team overall...and y'all wanna trade away our best player? Hayward is worth a max contract with the new cap rules. He's a damn good player, easily a top 5 SF in the league. You don't let him leave.

News flash, we're probably not going to win a championship. It's ok. Maybe we should just enjoy having a good team rather than throwing it away every couple years so we can rebuild just to rebuild again and again.

Teams should always pay players the market value right? Never say no to any amount of money if another team would pay them that amount right?

So it would be a good thing if the jazz were paying melo 27.9 million in 2018 when he is 35 years old? That's the right move.

We really would love to be in the position to be paying 17.5 million per season to kanter right.

I would love to be paying pekovic (nearly 30 years old) 35.8 million over the next three years. But we could just trade him. It's so easy.

The market determined that omer asik was worth 5 years and 53 million. The market knows all.

I don't claim that I, or others wanting to trade Hayward are right. There is no way to know.
You asked a question and I unanswered. We are not all going to agree.
