A few quotes from SVG which I found interesting (considering some think he could a HC candidate next year):

"I think he’s a very good player, very athletic, can do a lot of things. But I think the way the game is going, a perimeter guy who is not a good shooter, not a real good shooter, I think that limits his value in today’s game."

On Gordon's value:

""a little bit above the mid-level exception,"

Ouuuuch. Personally I think gordon is a good shooter but just inconsistet. I also believe he is worth around 8-10 million. He has this long streches when he shoots like crap. The last few years he started shooting the ball much better after the all star break. Let's see.

The difference between a star and a complementary player is consistency. Lots of guys can have good games, but can a particular player be RELIED upon? Hayward has never shown that he is that kind of player.

Glue guys are important, and Hayward is one of the better ones. I just have a hard time figuring out the worth of a guy like that on a team that will ideally have at least two legitimate max guys also on the team.
 
SVG would be right at home with the Jazz. He could make it like the poor-man's Dwight Howard-era Orlando Magic.

Burke = Nelson
Hayward = Hedo
Favors = Howard

Don't see any legitimate max guys on the team yet. If that guy is in the draft, and we get him, his new contract will start when Hayward's new one ends, so you could prioritize the money back to the max guy if needed.
 
Also, Hayward's career pattern says he is going to be unconscious from deep next year.

Flat out refuse to believe there is a white person in the NBA who isn't a really good shooter.
 
If history repeats itself for the 4th straight year, Gordon is about to get real nasty come March. Something about March Madness that gets Hayward going.

True. At this point, even Burks is bringing more to the table every night

I agree with the "not a real good shooter" part, but the part about Gordon's value being "a little bit above the mid-level exception" is ridiculous. The mid-level exception is $5.15M/year. I think Gordon's "fair" value is around $8-9M/year.
