Can we just release Burke and Hayward?

Cy said:
Did I ever say I wanted him to be the primary playermaker? He has to be a playmaker though. You don't treat him and Byron Russel as the same player. Go back to mediocre posting please.

The problem with Hayward is that he has been asked to be the primary playmaker. It was a good move to test to see if he could do that, because it shows the league his limits. I don't think he is going to get an offer over 12/million. I think most teams would be willing to sign him to that, but would be weary to go above it.

Hayward can still get a lot better, but it isn't in the primary playmaker role.

Was wrong on that money part doe.
 
Obviously a bit tongue in cheek on my part about releasing the two: I've always maintained I think Gordo will return to his historic 45%/38% averages. Still not sure if matching a max deal was a good idea, though.

Honestly surprised with Trey. He's shot better than I had expected. Was very worried after yet another dismal summer league. Let's see if the season brings the same results, but I'll be VERY happy if I was wrong about him.

Bottom line is that we obviously spent way too much for Hayward, but there is nothing that can be done about it now. I am not a Hayward fan by any means, but at the game I went to he did look like he has been putting in a lot of time in the gym during the off-season. Will it translate into his game?? Time will only tell. You really can not make assumptions about a player during the off-season. A players heart and passion is not behind him like it would be a regular season game. As far as releasing Hayward and Burke?? How stupid would that be. The question of this post doesn't deserve an answer. Burke isn't the best, but he is who have. Star caliber guards, forwards, or centers are not lined up to sign with Utah, or even want to play here. We currently have a team that for the most part, wants to be here. Lets roll with it and make things happen.
