STAYWARD

Brian Windhorst was just on ESPN.


He said no one has a clue on Hayward , even the Jazz.

He knows the Jazz have trade contingencies cooking if he leaves.


Hayward playing it tight to the chest.

I hope he decides today, I now go back and forth every 5 minutes.....
 
Yeah I'm nervous too.. the longer this drags on, the more likely he's leaving IMO... feels like he's talking himself out of leaving but seems to me the East being so week could be calling him.



The way things are panning out I'd say it's 40/60 he stay/goes to BOS ...
 
Almost all pros points to staying - being only on the East as the selling point for both Celtics and Heat.
East = sure All Star, sure playoffs, higher chances of reaching the finals.

See, I find this logic completely specious.

First of all, as we know well as Jazz fans, they don't give out any rings or trophies for losing in the Finals. The second argument that as long as you make it to the Finals, you might get lucky is just as crazy. Put Hayward on the Celtics, and they'd still need LeBron to get hurt(any other Cavs player could go down and it wouldn't make a difference) AND they need both of the Curry/Durant to get hurt. No way Celtics could beat the Warriors even if one of them is down. They need both to be hurt. And specifically Durant and Curry, too. Klayless and Draymondless Warriors still probably sweep the Hayward-led Celtics.
 
I wonder if there's a curveball somewhere -
Gordon and George Hill both signs with Indiana.

Turner, Young, GH, Ellis and Hill;
Big Al, Stephenson, GR3, rookie TJ Leaf, Collison, Allen.
??? :confused: not sure though where this lineup fare in the east.
 
I think ultimately the guy needs to do what is best for his family. I would really like for him to stay but that's his choice. I just wish he would just announce his decision so the Jazz organization can move on with or without him. I feel as though he is holding 3 teams hostage. Dick move Gordon..... dick move.

How about he just wants to take his time to make that decision. If those teams don't want to be held hostage they can pull their offer.

Thus .. chances .. reaching finals. Not "for sure" .. not "winning".
 
Per Heat beat writer, tough to tell if report or guess... I'm a bit jittery

The Clippers, Hawks and Nuggets are discussing a 3 team sign and trade that's been reported by almost all nba insiders. The basics of the deal are...

Clippers get- Gallinari
Nuggets get- Millsap
Hawks get- Jamal Crawford, Diamond Stone, first round pick

It's not finalized yet though.
 
Just got home from working nights. About time to get some sleep. I'm gonna be nervous to turn on a tv, computer or look at my phone when I wake up.

Please stay Hayward, please.

I get that but he's had to be thinking about this AT LEAST since the season ended.

Time to sh&t or get off the pot
