Charlotte offer sheet for Gordon Hayward expected to include player option on fourth year, and a trade kicker, league sources tell Yahoo.


A trade kicker could hurt us. Don't see us matching.
 
I wonder if the Jazz don't have a third option - do a sign and trade. What can we get from the Hornets? First round pick? That's probably going to be somewhere around lottery. Any other asset that you'd like to have from the Hornets? MKG?
 
I'd rather not pay him and give Burks+Kanter extensions. Though it would look pretty stupid if we let 3 star players leave in the last 2 years with Big Al, Milsap, and Hayward...


HAHA I just realized that Hayward will be making more then Big Al on the hornets... hahahahhaha

How dumb are you?

-This max contract doesn't restrict Burks and Kanter extensions

-You would rather have Al Jefferson over Hayward on your team?
 
What a nightmare. Play like **** = $$$$$$$$$$

Assuming the Hornets are using the line of thought "Hayward played pretty well besides shooting, which he has been historically good at. If he continues the same production, but his shooting corrects itself, we have someone approaching a max contract player. Plus we just had Hairston punch a HS kid in the throat, we need someone who looks nice to make the PR Guy's job easier."

Damn, Hayward getting that Lebron max offer clauses.
 
I completely reject the "who else would we pay?" argument. If a guy's not worth the $, he's not worth the $. Period. Look at some of the crippling contracts we were stuck with around here in years past.

DL has a hell of a decision to make here. If he thinks that GH will thrive under Quin with the rest of the young guys, then **** it - pony up and give Gordo the max. It's just really tough to project a guy so highly coming off of a fairly mediocre season.

Honestly - I hope we let him walk.

Unless burks and kanter figure they can play crappy next year and then become restricted free agents and get the max from the jazz too

If I was a terrible team , I could maybe possibly somewhat justify not completely hating this. But I like to think we are well run. And we have plenty of other players to develop and sign to deals they might actually deserve. This is exactly what teams like Charlotte do, which is why we'd be insane to match.

It holds up money for future signings. Just because we have space right now doesn't mean we should just fill it with overpriced players that don't deserve the money they are making.

I'd rather have Big Al, he put up all star numbers on a top 5 defensive team. Plus his contract is better.
