He could go to SAS and play next to instead of against Kawhi.
Hayward still unhappy?

An honest question from someone who doesn't live in SLC - what's the deal with Hayward? Does anyone there have any sense of whether there is any truth to these periodic rumors or is it complete BS? Seems like smoke often means fire, but not sure if this one has legs. Didn't he spend this summer in SLC? Is he involved in the community? Seems like he would be idolized in Utah and probably treated like a king. Lot of players end up liking Utah, funny to think that the one guy who grew up in the midwest, who doesn't seem like a club going boozer or big market guy wouldn't like Utah.

what a total non event of an article and post
I guess as a FA-to-be, it's logical for you to be coy about these things because:
1) to have as many options as possible, so unless you're a lifer like Duncan, ... why not have more options? There is a reason he signed with CHA last time around right? It's because he wants as much as $$$ he can get.
2) It keeps the pressure on your team to put as many talent around you as possible so you have the best chance of winning now & going forward. (which again leads to you having more media exposure, and sponspors, and therefore the potential $$$ you can make goes up).

It doesn't surprise me if we don't trade him knowing that he wants to be gone and we end up collecting nothing for him. Look at Kanter. Not saying that he was good for Utah, but a team that collects nothing for a quality player is foolish.

Dude be careful. Joe Bagadonuts just asked me if I had a reading comprehension problem. Either you are stealing his horrible material that's not even funny. Or he is stealing your horrible material that's not even funny. Either way, there is a whole lot of stolen material on some real horrible context going around.

I'm not acting like it's an "article" of any kind. I think that's pretty clear in what I've said.
I like it when you don't post, btw.

He always seemed, to me, a bit enigmatic in relation to his affection for the city, the fans, the organization. This was a bit surprising since it would be very unlikely that he would be "the man" in any other good team.
Money aside, I think one of the main variables in play will be the overall team performance. I highly doubt he would walk away from a Jazz team that made a big step forward, like winning 50 games and reaching the Conference Semifinals. It would be very unlikely that he would find a franchise in better condition than that in which he could be the leading player. If even a great overall team season and the max (or near-max) contract doesn't make him stay, I'd say "Good riddance!", since it is not possible to keep someone against his will.
