I voted $10M - $12M, Jazz match. I think we offer him a deal in that range, he tests the market, signs an offer sheet for $13M+, and we match (unfortunately).
 
If the Jazz match past 12 million I'll be irritated/pissed. I can live with 10-12 million.

$13 million would put me in the irritated range, but that's not a team killer.

Anything past that though...I don't think he's worth it.
 
S&T. To Boston.

Jazz end up with Carl Landry, Jason Terry (or maybe Ben Mclemore) and a bunch of picks that used to belong to the nets. Rondo ends up in Sacramento.

Hayward continues putting up similar stats for his career but because it is in Boston ESPN will elevate him, first to all star, then all NBA, and eventually his name will only be spoken in reverent whispers. His pasty white skin will become translucent until eventually one day while looking at the sun he will dissolve and become one with the universe. 4years/48 million.
 
I am torn on this. Hayward was a jacker last year. From my memory his shooting percentages off the dribble were horrible. And is spot up might of been barely better. Does anyone have those stats? or where to find them?

Hayward shot 39.8% on Pull-Up Shots, 24.6% on Pull-Up 3-Pointers for and EFG of 42.0% on Pull-Up Jumpers.

Hayward shot 34.7% in Catch-and-Shoot shots, 31.8% on Catch-and-Shoot 3-Pointers for an EFG of 44.5% on Catch-and-Shoot Jumpers.
 
There's gonna be a dumb GM out there that feels Hayward is worth $13M+/year...Jazz don't match. DL is a smart man, I think he's not emotionally attached to Hayward like most fans and realizes that an above average role player is not irreplaceable, especially with the skill sets Exum and Hood bring to the table. We will be fine without Hayward.

Holy ****. I figured it would be bad but not THAT bad...
 
4 years 48mil. My guess is Jazz let him walk. I dont feel all that strongly about it though, I do think ive got the price right.
 
The guy who might make Hayward expendable is Exum, not Hood. Hayward's value is for his versatility and his ability to facilitate.

But Hayward was one of 6 players to average 15-5-5 for the season (Kevin Durant, LeBron James, Russell Westbrook, Eric Bledsoe, Gordon Hayward, Michael Carter-Williams)
 
Hawyard is a top 6 FA this summer.

Many teams have tons of cap space.

The salary cap is going up a lot and projected to keep on going higher.

Hayward is going to get paid a lot more than most posters here want him to.
