According to this website, NBA execs are saying Stephenson would command a yearly salary in the $7-9M range. That would be an unbelievable bargain. I'd pay $9M/yr to Stephenson instead of $12-15M for Hayward...IN A HEARTBEAT.

To the salary cap gurus out there...What is the max a player drafted in the 2nd round (in 2010) can sign for anyways?

It won't be determined until the NBA sets the 2014 salary cap in June/July. The round drafted has no bearing on it.

Why?

Why would the Pacers pay 3 more million a year for a worse player?

he'd be an amazing player for the Pacers. Infact he fits them better then he does with the jazz. He would rack up the assists on that team as they already don't have a traditional pg, and the Pacers don't need to rely on him to score. They can just play him to his strengths, and I think his shot would miraculously come back.

I really wish the Jazz could do that too, because I agree with you completely. I personally have no interest in trading Hayward or not matching his contract. No matter what he gets offered, it won't be as much as it would have been had he played better this season. They'll still be adding two new young players to fit into the rotation, and hopefully a new coach with a different offensive philosophy than what they currently have. Gotta think that DL will want his "own guy" moving forward after this train wreck of a season.
 
You cannot trade him in the offseason. He is a RFA. Also him not wanting to stay in Utah is baseless.
 
This idea is remarkable in that neither team has a real incentive to do this (especially the Pacers, for whom this makes absolutely 0 sense).
 
Pacers cannot financially make that trade. I think they might consider it if they could get rid of Granger (which is impossible). I think public relations wise getting Hayward would be hugh for the Pacers since he is a hometown boy. He can play the SG positions.

Lance Stephenson is talented and has grow up a lot since he came in the league but he still is a knucklehead sometimes. I wouldn't do the trade for him. I think he might start thinking he is a star and start playing hero ball if he gets a big contract. Indy is the perfect place for him and he should take less money and stay in Indy.

While you can trade Hayward at the end of the year, I think the Jazz need to assess if he is going or staying like they did with DW and make a move before the trade deadline. Perhaps the Kings are tired of being in the lottery or find another team with a high pick this year and see if they are interested. I know it is difficult to do since he can just leave in FA but the team will have his Bird rights and they can offer him the best contract.

Personally, I want to keep him at the right price ($7-$9)million a year.
