Maybe they're Scientologists.for the record, I questioned his character more than a couple of times ...running off with a child-bride he barely knew).
Interesting comments by Rozier. Boston is a mess. And I'm laughing like hell about it.
You know that old phrase about be careful what you wish for. Gordie went from a team where there were no knuckleheads (according to JJ) to this:

I hope Ainge calls DL to salary dump Hayward and DL demands a handful of Celtics picks. If Ainge scoffs DL tells him to lose his number, farts in the telephone and hangs up on him.
But first leaks it to the media that they tried to dump Hayward and were willing to part with Tatum, Brown and others to do it...
DL and Rubio have some overlap in the Venm diagram, but the reason both those guys are mentioned in the same sentence is because Dennis dangled Rubio for two weeks and was met with an expiring deadline. He tried to take credit for choosing chemistry, but he wasn’t choosing anything. The offer was on the table the whole time and the deadline passing without Memphis saying “yes” is what made the decision to “value chemistry.”It just shows that you can't just add great players and expect to be great.
Maybe Rubio and DL are right about the chemistry concept.
The challenge at hand is finding great players that FIT our system and our team.

Pretty crazy to think that we got nothing for our star player, and yet a viable case can be made that we came out the winner.That injury was a freak accident and gruesome.
Also it wasn’t a trade.
This is true, but it is debatable whether Mitchell would have become what he has if Hayward had been here.Eh, if Mitchell has exploded like he had we wouldn’t be talking about needing that third player. We’d have him
The Hayward hate is certainly justifiable but he became a legit all star here. Dude would have been great on this team.

yeah the Jazz are the big winners of the Hayward situation.... u cant be serious.. Clearly;Boris Diaw was the big winner. Joe Johnson too.. these guys who were overpaid in a desperate failed attempt to appease him
I actually was keeping track on how many games JJ won us that year. It was close to 9-10 including the Clippers game. He was very clutch for us that yearJoe Johnson putting away the Clippers was one of my favorite recent Jazz memories. Well worth whatever we paid. Also, off court Diaw was pretty cool as well.
Joe Jesus was a ****ing star for the Jazz that first season. Too bad he got hurt in a larger role and it made more sense to trade him than it did to keep him.I actually was keeping track on how many games JJ won us that year.

Nobody thinks Hayward is that alpha that would put a rookie in his place. At least not anymore. I think the main presumption is that there would have been some silence, pouting, and vague distortion. And I don't think there's any question that Hayward's absence made things easier on Mitchell: the void was glaring, and we were ready to adapt to however he was able to fill it. This is not the case if Haywood were still on the team.It’s certainly debatable, but for me nothing Hayward has ever done has shown me he’s that alpha that would put a rookie in their place. I think Mitchell would have rode right over him.
Oh well, onto bigger and better.

But, yeah, over this.
I don’t fault Hayward for the decision he made. I absolutely fault him for how he made it.
Jazz with haywood Mitchell Gobert would be great.
