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.
Hayward isn't that caliber of player... short of losing a limb there Durant will get a full max next year... plus he makes more money off the court than Hayward. At this point in his careeer I expect him to take full max if offered... may have an opt out somewhere. I also expect the NBA to give a few more advantages for teams to use to retain their stars in the next cba.
