Hayward hasn't talked to Snyder, vague on future

After a season where he clearly failed to show he can lead a team and fell flat on his face when given the reigns as the "face of the franchise" he starts acting like a prima donna with a new website promoting himself, refusing to make an effort to meet his new coach, etc? I know a lot of fans think Hayward has huge amounts of untapped potential and will be the next Larry Bird, Pete Maravich, Scottie Pippen, or God...but trust me, it'll be OK if the Jazz let him walk. When you're a Kobe Bryant or Allen Iverson, you have earned the right to be a prima donna...when you're Gordon Hayward, GTFO. He can take his overrated game and pansy soft mentality somewhere else for the kind of money he's expecting.

It's Boston. Everyone knows it. The question is will the Jazz match. Gordon wants to play with his old coach, Rondo, and Love. You blame him?

Don't blame him, but how are they getting Love without giving up 6 and 17? And what does that leave for a Hayward S&T?

I don't know what to think, but I'm leaning this direction.... GH references his admiration for the Spurs yet he held out a year for more money, didn't produce, and will undoubtedly take the biggest offer he can get from wherever he can get it.

Yeah, cuz the Spurs players all took pay cuts on their first negotiable contracts so they could be on non-playoff teams....

I don't agree.


It does feel a little like he doesn't want to be here. You don't hear him talking about how much he wants to be here. Of course that might hurt his bargaining position a little, but I don't know where he getting his info that he is worth so much. He is seriously over valuing himself or he doesn't want to be here. The Jazz offered a more than fair deal. I don't want him either if he costs too much.

Damn guys, Hayward didn't do good in a year where management purposely made the team ****ty and didn't fire a coach who clearly didn't belong. It's all Hayward's fault and now he should suck up to us and beg for us to match his contract and apologize for not extending when he had the chance.

Another way to look at it is the Spurs players produced when given the chance and didn't chase the money.

Why do fans complain so much about players and money? I don't get why we hold NBA players to such a high standard where they should be grateful to play for our favorite teams. They should take pay cuts to stay with our favorite teams. Oh, get on your knees slave and be grateful we drafted you and gave you an opportunity.
 
In all seriousness I couldn't care less what happens to Hayward. He's nothing spectacular. If we keep him for a reasonable price, say, $ 10 M, great. If another team is dumb enough to offer him more than $12 let him walk, he's not worth it.

And this has been my position since before the season. Those are the numbers I was saying before this year and he only proved me right.
