Just because the money comes off the books for the 2014 pick doesn't mean you give Hayward $12 million especially after the inconsistent season he has had. You still have to pay Burks, Burke and Kanter. None of those guys are max guys but they are going to get nice raises. I wouldn't pay Hayward more than $10 million and I think that is a little bit too much. However, I hope the Jazz are not dumb enough to just let him walk,
Do you think Boston would do Burke and Hayward (sign/trade) + Avery or filler and their first round pick? We throw in a future pick say 2016 -top 3 protected. Jazz get the 2nd and 4th pick. Select two of the top 5. Wiggins/Exum/Parker/Embiid/Randle
Both stay. I guarantee it.
I'm w/ b_line. If the FA market had ANYTHING out there for US that was of equal value to Hayward, then maybe I'd understand using our cap on that. With the way our books are laid out, keeping Hayward at almost ANY price is a non factor since it will come off the books by the time the 2014 draftees come off their rookie scale. Hayward's a good #3 guy.
Maybe you all forgot that we are rebuilding and their would be pain? Did you expect him to just step into the #1 option (which he isn't built for) w/o any experienced/or not over-the-hill vets to help ease him in, and be awesome, while also leading us to the draft position we wanted so we could get his counterpart?
Some of you just can't help but bitch about everything.
I'll take that bet.
No...one of them. You said both would stay.Lets bet then. You saying both are gone?
No...one of them. You said both would stay.
Both will not stay. $10 bet. Deal.Ok. Ten dollars to be transfered the our baseball league in some way.
If you can name which one, I'll give another five if you are right. If you aren't then you pay 5.
So basically two different bets if you want. Or we can just do the bet that both stay for ten.
If we get the number two pick and don't keep Hayward, we are pretty stupid.
Imagine a new young coach with a team of Burke, burks, Hayward, kanter, favors and a second pick rookie. We would be awesome next year, let alone three years from now when we win the championship.
