What's new

Would Hayward take less than the max?

max or he walks. I used to think that max contracts should be reserved for the 10 best players in the league;Curry, Lebron types. This year has proven that max contracts are for average players. Why would he take less than average players? Max contracts are no longer for the best players, it is for players you don't want to lose.

Hayward wont take less because all his life he has been fighting for respect that doesn't come easy. Money is the ultimate sign of respect. You can't expect someone to essentially admit they are not worthy of the respect they sought their entire life.
 
Other than buying and extra one of these,

Probably a whole bunch of things.

I get it. I'm not a very lavish human being. If I had millions I'd buy a nice home and travel a lot, but that's about it. I wouldn't buy a yacht or a jet. I guess I would buy an NBA team if I had the chance though, so I suppose I misspoke.
 
My whole thing is what can you do with 130 million that you can't do with 110 million?



People understand that not every team is going to have an extra 26 million to spend forever going forward, right?
These numbers are too low.
Bump that 130/110 million number up to around 170/150 million and bump that 26 million up into the 30's.
 
I would bet he takes less than the full max from the Jazz but more than any other teams max offer. Kind of like DeRozan took.
This is the true hope. If he takes more than any other team can offer but less than the full max, I think he does right by Utah, the fans and his teammates. You become a legend in a couple ways -
#1 titles. Will he ever get one here? Odds are no because it's so damn hard.
#2 loyalty - You do this by staying long term and by doing everything you can to help the team contend such as take $27 instead of $29, etc.

If Hayward maxes out and we never even win the West, he won't go down as a legend as much as if he just sacrificed $2 million per year with the hopes that it gives us a better chance to win something. He would be considered unless he went to 3 or more All Star games or something similar.

Hopefully DL can demonstrate to him that in order to win a championship guys are going to have to take discounts, but that money can be more than made up for in endorsements. There are only a handful of players who've ever been willing to go this route, though.
 
I agree with whoever said he will take more than what other team's can offer but maybe not necessarily our max. Something like 5 years/160 or something
 
Dude just had another kid. That makes two. Who knows if he and homegirl are going to have another. With the current inflationary rocket that is school tuition/ fees, guy is going to need every penny. Hell, he might also have to take a job at Walmart as a greeter.
 
No way, Hayward would settle for a discount and he'll definitely get the max. I'm gonna say 140 mil range for 5 years is my guess.
