Hayward hasn't talked to Snyder, vague on future

Just a shot in the dark, but is it possible the coach can't have discussions with free agents till free agency starts? Just a guess

I have no idea what GH is thinking or what he wants but lets be clear - he is NOT a member of the Utah Jazz at this point. We simply have a contractual right to match his offer. For him or the Jazz to be talking like he is a member of the Jazz makes no sense. I hope he gets a reasonable contract and we match but until he knows where he will be playing, he should act like he is not attached. I also doubt that the CBA allows us to have contact with him at this point but I don't know.

Wrong...Gordon Hayward is under contract with the Utah Jazz until July 1, 2014.

According to Wikipedia:

July moratorium
Players on a team's season-ending roster remain under contract with their respective team until the start of free agency on July 1.[32] During a period in the beginning of July, teams may begin negotiating with free agents, but trades cannot be made and most free agents cannot be signed. The salary cap for the upcoming year is not set until the league's audit is completed by the end of the period.

See above...Why can't a coach talk to his own player that is still under contract (and vice versa)?

why some fanz are upset at hayward?

hayward has all the moral right to show the middle finger to this organization

i said many times already: the corbin mistake will have consequences for years to come
 
Never been that high on him. I don't know. But I'd still like to keep him. He's definitely a nice player.

Hayward just had a tweet that said something to the effect of he 'admires or like how the Spurs have done it with Parker, Ginobili, and Duncan sticking together staying on the same team', I think that's pretty big if you read between the lines. I will find the tweet and post later...

This means nothing to me unless he puts his money where his mouth is and takes a substantial pay cut (for him, say 8M?) for the better of the team like those Spurs' players did.
 
When a player changes his behavior just before free agency it says something. It says even more if it is doing things that his current team has asked him to do but he never did before.

GorDON is gone. Let's all hope for a sign and trade.
 
Until he signs or gets offer from a team, he won't speak to Jazz. He is not that stupid. He knows that his agent will take care of him. and... if he doesn't want to be with jazz, we can always sign and trade.

It Hayward was impressed by the Spurs then I suggest he do 2 things:

1. Actually develop a game. That might require breaking away from video games this summer and doing that whole practice thing. The evolution that I've seen from the Big 3 is amazing. Tony now has a consistent outside shot, Manu just has a crazy sick game, and Timmy has completely changed his body and game.

2. Take the ball to the rack next year and play hard on defense. I don't recall the Spurs making it easy on anyone on defense. Unlike Hayward last year, who made it sooo easy for defenses to defend him.

Lastly, folks, it's the offseason. I know everyone thinks that these guys are constantly calling and texting each other. They don't.

It's the offseason. Just because Snyder hasn't talked to Hayward doesn't mean the jazz are planning to get rid of him. It doesn't mean Snyder has it in for him. Nor does a simple tweet mean that he's bailing to Boston.

Relax.

Damn guys, Hayward didn't do good in a year where management purposely made the team ****ty and didn't fire a coach who clearly didn't belong. It's all Hayward's fault and now he should suck up to us and beg for us to match his contract and apologize for not extending when he had the chance.

I agree that last year may not have been the best year for measuring GH's worth. However I look at the previous years and I don't think he was that good those years. Every year we had to wait until near midseason for GH to find his game, then when it came to the playoffs or games to get us into the playoffs (crunch time) GH totally faded.

Jealousy. If I was in the same position as Hayward I would try to get the most money I could too. It is a business and the owners are making money so why not the players? Would anyone turn down a few extra million so they could stay with a team? If would they say Yes then they are lying or dumb.

I really don't buy that it's jealousy. I think the main reason is roster construction. If we overpay Hayward it can hurt us down the road. Look at what AKs contract did for years. I know the dollars will be very different but the point is the same. If we overpay Hayward it affects our whole team. Imagine if AK was living up to that contract, we would have been a champ contender no doubt. Problem is he was playing like a $10-12 M player, not a $16-18 player.

I don't think anyone here wants Hayward gone, he's an asset IF we don't overpay him. The minute we overpay him that evaporates.
