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
What a nightmare. Play like **** = $$$$$$$$$$

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.
How dumb are you?
-This max contract doesn't restrict Burks and Kanter extensions
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.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."

-You would rather have Al Jefferson over Hayward on your team?
