We could get Jimmer for less than a million!

Come on fish, troll better.

Parsons is interesting but. Is he better than Hayward? Is this a bird in the hand type thing?

your pount is basically.... we have money so who cares who gets it and how much they get. It doesnt matter that hayward had a poor year and should not get max money.
 
He did what was best for his pocket and now he will have to deal with the pressure of being a max player. He failed dealing with the pressure of "prove it" this year, so I don't expect him to live up to this contract.

I am not angry with him at all. No ill feelings. He took more money that's fine.

Having said that I don't want I to match. He isn't worth that kind of money.

This does kind of have the feel to it of the Hornets calling the Jazz bluff about matching any offer (no?)

I wonder if theres any other unfavorable stipulations in this contract for the Jazz, seems like they're going all out

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.

Duncan is the fourth highest paid player in NBA history and was 36 when he signed his current, smaller contract. Did Stockton and Malone take less money when they were in their primes? I was too young and didn't follow contract negotiations back then. I googled some articles and saw that Stockton got a 6 year $14mil contract which they said was high for a point guard in the early 1990s and Malone signed an 8 year $24mil which made him the 2nd or 3rd highest paid power forward in the league. In 2002-2003 Stockton made $7.9 mil on a 2 year 14.87mil deal and Malone made $19.25mil on a 4 year $66.5mil deal according to insidehoops.com. Malone's contract was 38.2% of the team's salary and Stockton's was 15.6% of the total.

Just playing devil's advocate here. I know Hayward is nowhere near Stockton/Malone as a player, but did they really take paycuts in their primes? Interesting how much more players get paid now.

What if Hayward turns into a legit stud?

We can still pay Kanter or Burks if we really want to. It's not like this means they are off the team (though we should try to trade Burks).

You have never liked Burks from the day he was drafted. Personally I think he is a much better players than Hayward!

Match and move on.

How do you match and move on? If we match, we deal with the possible consequences of having à non max calibre guy signéd to a max salary. We can't move on, he will be on our books.

We could NOT match and move on, but matching and moving on are opposites.

Since when has Jordan done anything right as GM? We should do the opposite of what Michael Jordan is doing.

Matching Hayward is following Jordan and that's not good.

A good rule of thumb? Do whatever is the opposite of what Jordan and Isaiah Thomas do.

Maybe it's not the things Jordan does, but it's the way he runs his team. His over-pushing character must be exhausting to all those players and staff.
 
Let him walk.

Can you srs imagine a scenario where Hayward is dominating on the Charlotte Bobcats to such a degree that we regret not maxing him?? SRS?!?!
