Hoopsworld - 5 free agents due for Huge Raises (Gtime in the list)

Deng? That guys just as inconsistent, and there's health concerns (see British Olympic team history)

He could be inconsistent...anyway he has played 2 All-Star games. Let's see if Hayward will ever play an All-Star game.

I like Hay, but **** If he's not overrated. The article says hes done nothing to hurt himself. I don't agree. He's proven to me he's not a 1 or even 2nd option on a playoff team. He's a good 3rd wheel 4th option guy. Again, not to say he's not good, he is. He's just more like Lance, and Deng than some people want to admit. He's not a star.

I think Hayward is better than Lance, but not as good as Deng. Honestly surprised that people think Deng will only get 7-9 per. If Hayward could be as good as Deng (at least what Deng was when he was an all star) that would be awesome. The things that I saw better from Deng were shooting percentages and defense. Hayward is at least a plus defender, so if he gets the shooting percentage north of 45%, then he will be a borderline all start like Deng was or is.

28.1% 3pt hayward

$12 million/year for Hayward is absolute lunacy.

a guy shooting 28% from the 3 point line. He only should get 8.

10 is lunacy

Stephenson>Hayward in my opinion. Fun to watch and Indiana's go-to wing defender
The question is if the Jazz can offer either him or Parsons a sweet deal in the first minutes of sign window opening so they could wait for their offer to expire before they can decide if to match Hayward's?

 

[BTP]

I think a lot of Hayward's strengths get eliminated by his weaknesses. That creates this wide array of how people evaluate him. To me he's max $9M, would be willing though to go high as $10.5M frontloaded as the Jazz don't need capspace the next 4 years if they get Jabari Wiggins...
After that he has to accept a contract to take one for the team or he has his value clearly set. I think he might stagnate early.

Anything over 10 would be a mistake. We can live with 10 even though I prefer less. If you're the front office and think a huge offer is on the horizon for him, trade him.

I hope we dont pay more than 10, 8-9 seems more fair, he's nowhere consistent- Id say Favors at 10 was a steal he's been most consistent of the young guns, even Burks of late is showing more consistently for what is expected of him.
Reality-That said Im sure we or someone will end up over paying

Good post, just want to say that favors is getting 12 mil per not 10 IIRC.

 

[CALJAZZFAN]

Hayward at:

$7M/year...a bargain!
$8M/year...just about right.
$9M/year...little too much but still fair
$10M/year...definitely overpaying, this would be the max offered
$11M/year...not worth it at all, just walk away
$12M/year...no way
$13M/year...no ****ing way
$14M/year...go **** yourself G-time.

Sums it up perfectly.

True thats right I remember now there were incentives, still even at 12mil Favors is closer to being worth that than Hayward 10. Stephenson, Hayward, Parsons- the first to get a contract will sort out what the others get- the typical " I want that much or Im worth more" will start. Question is if Hayward gets to 11+ elsewhere would we be ok with Burks being resigned for 7-8 4 years, at the risk of being burnt if Hayward gets 10/11+ elsewhere I'd be happy to resign Alec to that much especially if we get a top 4 pick.
Someone will end up overpaying better not be us, that said isnt it true only we can offer a five year contract, others at most four?

Sure does +1
