Hayward has agreed to an offer with Hornets

[fishonjazz]

I completely reject the "who else would we pay?" argument.

Agree.... completely retarded arguement.

there are lots of guys we could pay

None would come. Jazz have never been able to sign a max-type player. Never.

Marvin williams would come for the max i bet.

I mean we have the money right?

Hayward is not a "max type player"

Can someone explain how the 15% trade kicker would work?

He may not be, but he received a max offer sheet and all indications show the Jazz will match.

This is true. I dont see a point, opinion, or any new info in this post.... but it is true

We won't lose an asset - period.

I know this is more than he's worth, but who else is going to take the $30 mil we have to sign just this year? I haven't seen a lot of FA's at Best Buy lately.

Im not a fan of tanking, but I'm pretty sure Hayward just gift-wrapped a reason for the Jazz to bottom-feed.

Theres SF's out there that can fill minutes next season though, I know yall have seen Francisco Garcia in the west for the past 9 seasons, hes far from ideal but a platoon of him and Hood could get the job done.

Who knows what improvements Burks has made this offseason too, if he put on 10lbs of muscle he might be able to play SF much better than what we saw last season.

Exum is skinny, but you could play him some minutes at SF, and run like hell.

Rodney Hood is probably ready for more minutes than most would give him credit for, his defense isnt ****. but hes money in halfcourt offense.

It's under item # 97. If Hayward is traded, his remaining salary on his contract would increase by 15%.

Im sure marvin williams, trevor ariza, bazemore and many other players undeserving of the max (like hayward) would take it.

Hell, might as well max them all. We have the money right? Might as well spend it

Jazz prepared for possibility of max sheet for Hayward and remain unwavering about revelation it's coming: They plan to match and keep him.
