Hayward to Boston

[mellow]

I think most don't care that he left, more the way he went about it.

#Awkward

#Coward

But he has walked away from adversity and confrontation everytime except for one loose ball scramble with Chris Paul.

We all know why the fans reacted so positively about that loose ball scramble...it was the first sign of fight Hayward had shown in seven seasons.

I agree he had made up his mind a long time ago. Going to Miami was just a diversionary tactic to make people think he was undecided. He knew he wanted to go back with Stevens, and I think that was biggest reason for him going to Boston. Nothing wrong in wanting out but a man of character would've made his wishes known up front and not put on this act that he did.

He gave so many compliments to the Jazz organization and the people who worked with him, and yet he betrays them. Gordon, you should reread what you wrote so that you will realize what you have done. You had something here in Utah and you have given it away. Often we fail to see the forest for the trees or like Joni Mitchell wrote, "you don't know what you got till it's gone."

Yes, Gordon, you don't realize what you have left behind and I think someday you will regret it.

So the Jazz have no accountability here?

None of this is Utah's fault?

Boston is better. Better organization, better city, after endorsements come in, better money.

Utah's had plenty of chances to get better and they messed up. This is their consequence.

Maybe having the lowest payroll in the NBA the last two years wasn't the brightest idea in hindsight.

Hood, Favors and Exum all need to have break out years. And if Mitchell is legit...

Yep. It's not out of the ream of possibility. We might not be as bas as people think.

Hayward is gone today because DL tried to get cute and let Hayward go find his own deal. That's a fact.

DL screwed up. His drafting sucks (and KOC as an extension).

If we drafted better, he's still here. If we made better trades, he's still here. If we signed him to a max deal, he's still here.

This is on DL, not Hayward.

Did you want to max him at that time?

His drafting sucks? How do you explain Gobert?

You mean passing on Gobert three times? Gobert was luck.

Or Hood. And the jury is out on Exum and Mitchell.

I don't remember. Someone should dig up my posts. I know I wasn't 100% for it, but I don't remember when push came to shove if I was happy with the deal or not. Also, I am not a GM.

Lindsey's problem is he tries to outsmart everyone and gets burned over and over again.

We can make the 7th or 8th seed. The only difference being we'll play GS in the first round instead of second.

Why is Hood a great pick? He's an average player and the obvious pick. Only a moron would have passed on Hood.

Drafting is a lot of luck. Good picks and bad picks are largely the result of luck.
