People have a right to be mad. I am not mad he left. He was a free agent and earned the right to leave if he wanted to move. I am upset the way it went down, but I am over it. I don't respect how he did it and I don't believe he was really that torn. He wrote the three letters to cover himself. I believe it was his plan to reunite with his college coach. I also believe that anyone who thinks Stevens and Haywood haven't talked about reuniting are being naive.
The irony of some fans being over-the-top mad is many of them are talking about dumping current players or sit around thrashing them. So where is the loyalty with the fans? The organization will always do what is best for the organization. They would trade any player if it help the Jazz win and that is want fans want their teams to do.
So yes, people still have the right to be mad but people need to realize this is part of the game. Players come and go and organization make decisions that affect players lives so when a player is a free agent they get to make a decision that is best from them even if fans don't like.
I am not going to boo Hayward..not because I liked how he left.. I am not booing because I don't care about him any more. He is not on the Jazz and I will cheer the guys on the team. Booing only shows you care. I don't care.
