Jody Genessy Deseret News - Hayward "wants better talent around him"

of course he wants better players around him...I hate that the Jazz have missed the playoffs for 4 straight years, I can't imagine how hard it is when you are a player on the team and keep missing the post season
 
Has anyone questioned whether he actually said this?

I'd be shocked tbh.

No better way to be seen as a malcontent and bad teammate than to imply it's "everybody else's fault."

I think contact is needed.

Well at first I thought he took a small step back offensively, but then I realized that is simply not possible for Hayward. Then you provided some really good info that cemented it in my mind that Hayward took a step forward.

Forward it is.

Yep. A few Spurs' guys did this for years. Hayward needs to recognize the importance of that. If he, Gobert, Favors, Hood, and Exum each end up taking about 4M less per year than they could make elsewhere, that's 20M freed up so that everyone can be re-signed and/or the bench can be solidified. Seriously, is it gonna kill him to make 26M per year rather than 30M? Dude will still likely rake in over 250M in just NBA contracts alone by the time he retires (maybe even 300M) and be set. And that selflessness can help build a trust and camaderie that can build something special on the court imo.

That's real money you want them to give up. Maybe it seems silly in comparison to what they make, but I know if it was me I'd be looking at it like that's 4M I have left after I blow the rest. $4M I can leave for my family. $4M I can buy my mom a house with (RIP). $4M is more than I'll earn in a lifetime, and that's what we all think is so easy to give up?

It's a big ask, but somehow the Spurs seem to talk their players into doing it. I wonder how much they end up making up for it in endorsements? I think that may play into it for some players.
 
REally good point guard and Hill do not belong in the same sentence. Good and really good have 2 different meanings,imo.... Hill is what maybe around number 20-30 if you was rating point guards of the nba... I will give him this much. He is better then Exum and it isn't even close and Exum is the one some of you want to start
 
He wants better teammates around him? Hayward wants to be the Man and let me tell you something when you are the Man you make those around you better.. Hayward should just say truth and that is the Jazz need someone better then me because I would make a much better second or third option then I do a first option. First option Hayward leads to late lottery pick. YAH
 
Funny everyone mentions the Spurs. If it was this easy then every team would do it. First off Spurs have a coach who can coach and has never been fired. Quin has gotten canned before... Spurs whol front office is ran like a smooth family ran business. U/tah sucks. They have shown that with the trading a 12 pick for a 12 and 6 30 year old and then selecting Paige in round 2.. No one and I mean not anybody had Paige going in the draft. LOL

Totally, that Paige selection is going to be a franchise killer. An absolutely critical, pivotal, franchise altering mistake. There were so many high quality players available.
