What's new

Hayward has agreed to an offer with Hornets

Most of us spewed some vile after this. But it was before the salary cap was projected to sky rocket.

Not true. There had been articles for months discussing this, and it is even referenced in the thread.
 
If the Jazz had not signed Hayward, we'd be competing with the Knicks, 76ers and Timberwolves for the league's worst record. We'd be absolutely putrid. I don't think we'd have more than 5 wins all season this far. It was a very good signing.
 
You know, the more I've thought about this, the more I'm convinced the Jazz need to match. He's been a very good player who has improved each season - except for the past one. And who could blame him for hanging his head? Jazz were awful. And Corbin spent more time resurrecting the career of Richard Jefferson than providing guidance for the young players.

No, Hayward is not worth the max right now. But he's going to rebound from a poor season. I think he'll return to his historic averages of 45%/38%. With better efficiency he should average 19-20 pts/per and still provide close to 5 rebounds and 4 assists. Jazz absolutely need him to run the offense with the first team. Trey is a shoot-first PG and Dante won't be ready to start for several months, much less lead the team.

Hayward is going to come back stronger and more determined and will blossom under Quin's guidance.

Nailed it!

But we could have then drafted Russell and brought home Millsap, Carroll and Matthews. FIRE LINDSEY!




Just kidding for those who think I may have been serious. I was wrong about wanting the Jazz not to match (for now). I admit it. But let's see what happens in 3 years.
 
Going back through some of these posts. People were killing me because I thought that we needed to match Hayward and then we somehow got side tracked to how I thought the Novak trade was stupid and everyone thought I was being petty... I'm feeling pretty vindicated at this point. Everything I say in this thread is correct and/or comes to fruition. It may have magical powers or sumthin so...

Jazz Gonna Get Russell... You're welcome!
