Because Hayward's contract has ZERO financial impact in the first two years. It doesn't prevent the Jazz from doing anything. Well, I take that back. WE aren't going to trade for Amare's expiring of $22M. Hayward will opt out after year 3; that's the whole purpose of the clause; so he can get the HUGE bump after his 7th year. At worst, the Jazz get a giant trade exception. Do I HATE his contract? Yes, I do. Do I wish he had given Utah a Curry discount (or even a Favors one). Yes, I do.
AK's contract only screwed over the Jazz in the final three seasons and that was ONLY because Larry H. vetoed a couple of trades (allegedly). Hayward's deal is 4 years (unless he opts out). Jazz can keep everyone on the roster without going over the luxury tax threshold.
