Well, Greg, I expect you missed your daddy's lecture on how a business survives only if it provides a quality product at a competitive price.
USA Today claims it is clear Hayward would prefer going to Charlotte.

Does this change anyone's thinking about matching? I know it is not his choice, but unhappy players are not usually, the most productive.

Haha. With revenue sharing and the new tv deal, the Jazz will be making bank. A lot more than they ever made under LHM. Not that Greg is doing anything special, but NBA teams are thriving right now. Don't think the Jazz are going to have a hard time surviving.
That's why these guys are paid millions.
To live in areas and play for teams they don't like.

They play in the East. Statistically speaking, you've got a much better shot at the playoffs and being an All-Star by doing so. And all along, Hayward has been professional about the process and not burned bridges. It's a business. If they want him, they match the contract and both sides know it. Much ado about nothing IMO.
The only evidence they give for the claim is that Charlotte had a better record. They don't even claim "sources say". I.e., they have no evidence, it's just Sam Amick's opinion.

Record and likely based on the fact he doesn't have to be a 1st option.

Agree. Not one report to support this claim. Not one to refute it wither, however I think its clear hayward was looking for the money. He would have sigend this same deal directly with us if it were presented. It is funny reading the Hornets board on Realgm. They are really bent about us taking the full 3 days to match. Its pretty laughable when looking at the toxic componets their ****ty team put in the deal what could they have expected? We are not going to play nice now.

How many games would the Jazz have won in the eastern conference? Just guessing I would say 34-37. CHA is not a good team.

Yep. They are trying to take our guy. That makes them the enemy. Not to mention they gave him too much damn money. The Jazz better wait until the 71st hour.

You're overestimating the Jazz. It's actually a pretty straightforward calculation to make.
Their actual record was 25-57.
Games against Western Conf: 13-39 (52 games, won 25%)
Games against Eastern Conf: 12-18 (30 games, won 40%)
If they had been in the East, they would have played 52 games against the East, winning 40% (=20.8 games) and 30 games against the West, winning 25% (=7.5 games). Total #wins in this model therefore = 28.3, so lets say 28-29 games.
