Fair points, but my personal opinion is when you make a decision of this magnitude, you put perceived slights in the past. The good far outweighs the bad and I think Hayward is mature enough to understand how to separate the business from the personal.
Agree. Then you have to consider what the family wants. Personally, I would hate living in Miami. I enjoy the seasons, but I also hate the extreme cold. Well, maybe Utah isn't as bad as the Northeast, but I still hate the cold. Give me some snow at Christmas, but then I'm done with it!
And I think it's valid to want to be a perennial all-star. Sure it's a bit cheap, but he'd be a lock every year in the EC. And we all know Cleveland is breaking up. The only decent teams left in the EC would be Boston and an up-and-coming Philly team, with Miami a dark horse (unless Hayward signs there). Hayward could at least go to the Finals almost every year. Then Boston only has to hope for an injury to GS. Stay in the West and EVERY round is a battle.
