That sounds like when my wife apologizes for something she clearly knows she wrong on but is still mad.

I'm not sure why people still harbor some resentment... You'd be happier if you moved on and just enjoyed watching our best player play.

But yes I've moved on, my resentment for Hayward's contract was getting old, I just hope he ends living up to his expectations.

Don't be so moody.
That was a solid overall post by stifle tower and he basically nailed his evaluation of Hayward during in with quin (damned best got Hayward numbers right too)

It's ok for stifle to be upset if Hayward tries to get a bigger contact after a couple of years. I will be upset about it too.
Imo Hayward on a cheaper contact is preferable to Hayward on a more expressive contract.
We are fans and we like it when players take less money to help the team.
It doesn't mean we expect it though

1) He didn't nail that evaluation. He said he hoped Hayward would put up those numbers, but he very clearly didn't think he would.

2) Saying he'll be right about not liking this contract if Hayward decides to do the smart thing and maximize his earning potential is stupid. I mean, that logic is horrifyingly idiotic.

3) Of course I want Hayward as cheap as we can get him, but to get mad at the guy and dislike him because of it is a bitchmade attitude, and I detest it. It would make more sense to get mad at our GM. But yeah, let's get mad at a player for doing the logical thing.
 
I read through half the thread, and didn't see a post of mine but I was all in for Hayward. Happy we kept him.
 
So there is a difference between liking a player and having fun seeing him on our team and not wanting to pay too much. You cannot draw a parallel between voting not to match and desiring to "get rid" of a player. That is a false dichotomy.

I like Hayward, always have, and wanted to have him on our team. I enjoy watching him play and am glad he is here. I think he does good things on the court for the most part.

I just didn't think we should pay him as much as we did. He is still not at an all-star level, but he is getting all-star pay. I hope he gets there, especially now that we have already bought the cow, so to speak.
