What's new

STAYWARD

Tony Jones also mentioned if we wrap up Hayward we won't be done upgrading roster... Mentioned MLE and trade assets. Could be a big summer.
 
I'm feeling a little too good about this... also just read the article ESPN published today... basically made it out as Boston Vs. Miami... straight disrespect... would really enjoy throwing this back at them.

It would be quite the victory for Utah to win out for a FA over Boston and Miami.
 
It makes sense... if you play basketball there are no funner types of people to play with than big guys who rebound and play great defense and guys who pass the ball.

Put Ricky, Ingles, Hayward, and Gobert out there... ball will be flying around out there.
 
Some twitter traffic from Tony Jones and Andy Larsen

Even if Hayward signs with the Jazz they are not done trying to upgrade roster.

Rubio was brought in because Hayward loved the idea of a better passing PG.

Rubio, Ingles, Gobert, Starks, DL, Gail Miller and Snyder at the pitch.

Jazz have vet minimum, mid level and trade chips to use to upgrade
 
Per Locke... Ricky flew in from Spain for the meeting.

I want to stand up and applaud him right now... didn't have to do it. We traded for him last week from a franchise that basically placed him on Ebay for the last five years. I'm excited about this guy's fit... I think he has... wait for it... Jazz DNA
 
This should put the kabbosh on the 'trading Hood' rumors. Looks like Favors remains the trade piece - he'd be there otherwise, since he and Hayward grew up in the league together.
