Hayward has agreed to an offer with Hornets

By this you mean if he terribly underperforms and disappoints everyone, right?

I wouldn't say Hayward terribly underperformed. He shot poorly from deep and went through the motions on a team going through the motions.

He showed his skillset, which is why teams like him so much. Teams are enamored if he can bring that skillset, and bring back his sharpshooting, for a total package.
 
I'm trying to understand what the significance of 4th year player option is vs straight 4 year deal and how than can be bad. Anyone enlighten me please.

It's bad for whoever signs him. If he's worth more, he leaves after 3 years as an unrestricted free agent. If he's not living up to it, he'll opt in and make our lives miserable with that trade kicker.

If he had come out and proved he was a #1 option to the tune of 22 6 and 6 with good percentages, like some were predicting, do you know what he would've been offered? This exact contract. Just doesn't seem right. He was disappointing this year, few deny that. And no one was talking about a max deal last offseason.

If there is a 15 percent trade kicker in the Gordon Hayward deal, that would help not hurt the Jazz. He can't make more than max contract.

Looks like we got this part wrong? Maybe he is getting slightly under the max, unless he gets traded.
 
Hayward got married to a fine-*** girl, and is now going to make 60+ million over the next 4 years. What a lucky *******.
 
We need players with the contract mentality of Stockton, Malone and Duncan. Winning and improving was obviously more important to those guys than getting paid every penny they possibly could. Though those sorts of men are obviously hard to find, they do exist. Hopefully we will soon have proof that Favors is in that category. It simply will not work for the Utah Jazz to play this game by the rules that Hayward has set up. Good by Gordon.
