Stein: Utah is telling teams Hayward is unavailable.

and you can say names, but what say it when hayward leave jazz? I'm not scared, just real about ituation for jazz this scenario is likely and if not you are ok jazz alway 1st round fodder? not me but maybe for you!
 
Devin Booker will be an elite talent in the league. Let's trade Hayward and 12 for Booker and Phx next year 1st round pick.

I want to ask an honest question to those who have no desire to trade Hayward -

If Boston were to offer it, would you trade him for Avery Bradley, #3 and #23?

First of all, without us knowing what exactly was offered, we are really not in a position to evaluate whether the Jazz have made the right move to unequivocally keep Hayward, which is what the article basically says. But what if it were all of Boston's Brooklyn picks, including the #3 this year and two more in the next two years? What if it were the #3 this year, Avery Bradley, and Jae Crowder? The list could go on and on. Are we really willing to say that regardless of the offer, we should keep Hayward? Because that's very different than DL spurning just the #3 pick.

But even still, the issue is not as much what was offered, as it is whether Hayward will even be here in one year. Guys -- Dirk Nowitzki just opted out of his contract. This new salary cap is making players do all kinds of things. Whether or not Hayward is one of the best small forwards in the league (he is) is also moot, if he ups and leaves town next year as an unrestricted free agent. Is he definitely going to do that, as opposed to re-signing with the Jazz, who are now showing their loyalty to him, and have consistently since they drafted him? Only time will tell.

But let's not confuse the issue here. The reason the Jazz should listen to offers is not because of his value to us or who's available at #3 this year. It's because of how next summer might go.

Dirk didn't opt out to leave. He's been pretty vocal about saying how he's given them discounts, but if they don't put a good team around him this year, he wants more money, but he wants it from Dallas.

No. That's not a good deal, and I love Bradley.
 
TBH I don't agree with just shutting it down right out of the gate as this implies.

Hear them out and see what they offer. No one should ever be unavailable if it makes the team better. It is unlikely a Hayward trade makes us better but you should at least be checking.

Also I am very happy with Hayward and glad he will be here next season. hell of a player.
