Hayward finger injury

Hayward is the type of player that is never in a million years going to turn down a 5 year max.

Basically the list of guys you can get in free agency if their team wants to keep them is a handful. Almost no one is turning down a 5 year max and no agent is ever going to advise it.

Ever hear of a guy named Kevin Durant?!
Team can give GH a contract with an opt out. He then re-signs with that team for max. Not saying he does. My original post was tongue-in-cheek. But the financial advantage of remaining in Utah is pretty low.

In fact, I'd be surprised if he doesn't want an opt out after year 3. He'd be eligible for another big jump as a 10 year vet.
 
Am I the only one who is wondering why he's going to miss any regular season time with a non-shooting hand finger injury? I get that its a fracture but the timeline seems very excessive to me considering the injury and location.

Durant is a special kind of vajayjay tho. Absolutely gutless, and willing to sell his soul for a chance to have somebody else earn a ring for him.

Gordo could very possibly leave for another team if Utah can't prove to be competitive, but he ain't no Durant.

Because missing a handful of games to ensure it heals properly is less of a gamble than risking it becoming an issue for months, or even the entire season.

Having said that, every injury is different, and he could be back sooner than the 6-8 weeks. You just don't know at this point, so there has to be a guesstimate.

Didn't he sign a no-trade clause with the franchise in CHARLOTTE? What kind of competitor does that? Or was he just 100% certain the jazz would match?
 
Bummer city. Thankfully it happened now and not in the middle or end of the season. I am not worried.

Trade kicker. He signed a clause that would pay him more money if he got traded.

Based on schedule I think we are could easily go 5-8 or 4-9 but that isn't a killer tbh. If he can't hit his stride and we don't do well the next 10-15 games then we will be in trouble.

Joe Johnson can go back to starting which he likely is better at... hill and hood will need to create much more though. I think we can weather the storm just sucks to start this way after what we've been through.

Yeah, I was thinking 5-8 looks plausible. I'd be pretty damn happy with 6-7 I think.

I really want to see Favors/Gobert beasting it while he's out. 32/22/4 a game.

Adjusting for inflation, Malone's 1997 salary was $437 million. Did you know that before you posted, or are you just playing games with us, broh?

Malone made ~4.6 M in 1997, which is a bit over 7M in 2016 dollars.
