Gordon Hayward Retires

If you’re nice to me, I’m more likely to be nice to you.

That’s the most basic form of Karma.

That isn't karma though, that is just normal human decency. It isn't even cause and effect because you cannot guarantee the effect. You can be nice as hell and still have the guy pull a gun on you. What would that be karma for?

You do know that karma is meant to be the cosmic response of the universe to good actions in life providing one with a better re-birth, as in reincarnation, right? It isn't even really meant to mean anything in the current life, mostly aimed at the hereafter.

I do wonder if Utah ownership will embrace Hayward like they have for past Jazz players. Or if Hayward would accept doing things like appearing at Jazz games next to past teammates (like 6-10 years from now).

I know we look back on Dwill being less controversial than Hayward due to the fact the Jazz actually got "benefit" from Dwill leaving (really turned out to be nothing that helped the Jazz all that much and still has a lasting negatie effect with the Favors trade to OKC holding up the 1st rounder). But when the Dwill thing happened he was blamed as the person who made Sloan quit which was a huge deal to a lot of people.

God I hope not. Let sleeping dogs lie.

Karma is basically the rule of cause and effect that governs the universe.

It’s as real as you and me.

A quick look at the state of the world should dispel that notion. There is no such thing as Karma. Things don't happen for a reason. Gordon didn't break his leg because he "screwed the Jazz", whatever the hell that means.

Jazz fans not embracing him is a direct effect of his action.

That’s Karma 101.

Some still do, how is that explained?


I am not sure if you are being serious in all this discussion about karma. Are you just trolling everyone? If so, masterful job. Al should pay attention, he would learn something to up his game.

That’s a misconception, it’s very much supposed to apply to this current life.

Karma isn’t always as clean as 1+1=2.

That would be physics.

Well yeah, they will for a bit, but time heals all wounds.

Yeah, tell that to all the children that died of cancer, or even gun-shots, yesterday. But hey, they all did something bad to deserve karma like that, amirite?


In case anyone is curious, from the most recently available stats, that is about 13 kids or teens per day for gun-shots. And about 4 or 5 die of cancer every day, from the averages. Karma is a bitch.

Then it is meaningless as a life concept. That reduces it to being as effective as a platitude.

Are you really here comparing Gordon Hayward leaving your favorite team to cancer and gun deaths?

Cmon. Take a breath and step away from the keyboard. You know what I mean when I say that. Most people just dont care about Hayward anymore. I think you got to be bit performative or miserable to be acting like The Midnight.
