I just want to give G-time the props that he deserves. I dont praise him enough and occasionally say negative things about him. I didn't like that the jazz matched his contract offer from the hornets but he has earned every dollar imo.

Most all of us agree that he is not a true #1 go to superstar but he is about as good as it gets as a #2 guy.
He still continues to improve even though he has been in the league for a while now.
His play of late is all star caliber. I never hear anything negative about him off court and never really hear about any attitude problems or bitching despite the fact that all these losses are probably pissing him off.

He is the only one of our top guys that has not missed any games this year and he just keeps plugging away, putting up big time numbers and playing big time minutes while defenses continue to grab, hold, push, and mug him all game long knowing that he is the only real consistent offensive threat currently playing for the jazz.
He can play and be effective in any kind of system with any kind of role and with any kind of teammates around him. He is effective playing multiple positions. He plays both ends of the court too.


Thank god for Gordon Hayward.

Great thread fish!! Time for everyone to realize what we have in Hayward for all the reasons u listed. Still remember that ridiculous thread about how Hayward not going to summer league as if to say he wasn't a team player or supporter or the numerous threads about how he is too invested in video games and doesn't work hard e numerous posts about how he is too invested in video games and doesn't work hard enough. I think he works as hard as anyone on the team. Just look how he's changed his body. I thought it was amazing how big he was coming into last year, and it's just as big a difference from last year to this year.

We are lucky to have him on the team.

Imagine Hayward guarding MJ on that last shot. Hayward has always been exellent at using his great length to bother shots

Are you saying Hayward would have shut down Jordan in the Finals?

Hey Thee Jazz Fan, why don't you try being Thee Rational Fan?
 
I was considering starting a trade hayward thread with my alt account couscous. This team is built on sand. Trade the guy before he opts out to a team like Boston with all the assets in the world and try to flip them for a couple top spots in next year's draft.

An idea so embarrassing it deserves an alt account.
 
Hayward is a top player in the league. No All Star, but a player any team would want in a second

I went to the Knicks/Jazz game five days ago because of a guy like Heyward. Knick tickets are super expensive so you have to be super selective in which games you attend. We choose our Knick games based upon A) will it be a competitive game, and B) who we want to see on the opponent's team. A) Yeah, we knew we could take the Jazz; and B) Jazz have some really top players that I wanted to see play in person, Heyward being one of them.

Also, I've noticed that young kids like Heyward. For whatever reason (clean cut, talented but not I-can't-do-that talented...) kids seem to like the guy. He should be on our Olympic team this year. Coach K gets a say and Heyward is a style of player that seems to favor what Coach K wants in a team.

Funny and odd to see Jazz fans here voicing disfavor with him. You fools would probably knock Melo and Porzingis if they were on your team. (Two guys, by the way, that killed your team last Wednesday.) Heyward is a solid b-ball player. Very solid. Be very thankful you have him.

Of course we would knock Melo if he was on our team. I definitely would not trade Hayward for him. Wish Jazz still got to see Melo in the playoffs, easiest W Jazz have had in the Deron/Boozer years. Dude isnt a winner. His teams have been in the playoffs almost every year of his career and yet he is what 8 of 10 times he hasnt got out of the first round? He is playing less selfish this year but normally he is just a chucker who doesnt play defense or pass. But of course you arent making the playoffs this year so... Good luck in the Draft, hope you get someone talent to put around Porz. I bet NY wishes it could trade Melo, Porz is the player to build around. Need to get some young talent and a pick or two for Melo. Kind of like the package you traded Denver for him.

Porz on the other hand is a great player. He looks to be a real talent. Glad you guys booed picking him and hated the pick. I am guessing you are one of the people who was pissed they didnt take Hezonja.

when the big men are injured and not playing and you have no post presence it's pretty handy chump

Uhh, we still play Gobert who can't shoot outside of 5 feet, Withey who only shoots wide open 15' or less, Booker who can't shoot at all, and Lyles who can only hit corner 3's and midrange. It's not like we have a lot of spacing without Favors playing that opens up regular post ups. We do post up Hayward a fair amount when we are able to get the switches, especially late in the game around the FT line.
