Hayward: Looking forward to having a season with our full crew. This off-season is so important to all of us.

Hayward talks about how having a wife and a baby, with another daughter expected this summer, gives him perspective and makes him want to work harder. Other guys on the team have babies too, it will be fun to watch the kids grow up and bond.

The contract will take care of itself, I have to become a better player to make this a better team.

Sounds positive and that he sees himself here in the future
 
Can someone clue me into this "cakk" ******** everyone is referencing? I don't get it. What does it mean?

The power of hindsight on some of these dudes lol.

I replied Casspi hard before free agency... Also wanted leuer. Would have been all over Beverly but thought he'd get 10 M plus... I'm not Nostradamus but I was in on some of these guys prior to FA. Crowder was another that I wanted.

If one poster cherry picks a perceived bad deal I can cherry pick good ones.

Memphis and Dallas both had injury issues... Timing is different.

We obviously had an inordinate amount of injuries but had we brought in one solid vet contributor it would have shielded us much better. It was the fairly obvious move that some of us championed from the beginning... Now with DL laments I'm not sure the other arguments have a leg to stand on.

Fish isn't saying we shouldn't have tried to get a vet at all. Just that it isn't exactly fair to expect DL to have forseen the magnitude of our injury problems. Another vet would've helped, but putting DL to the torch is a bit of an overreaction.

Every team has injuries.
Did they have injuries to the extent the jazz did though?

And also you kind of proved my point. Memphis and dallas finished with records very similar to the jazz iirc.

If you have injuries like the jazz then you will be a fringe playoff team at best.(Like the jazz, mavs, grizz)

The jazz picking up Jared dudley and caspi don't change their record much

Considering that the Jazz let an opportunity pass them by - point blank - I don't think people's frustrations are an overreaction. Having Neto start 50 games should be enough to make someone pissed.

I admitted as much on the amount of injuries. If those guys swing one or two games we are in the playoffs... Our record vs. point margin had a gap which tells me an incremental roster improvement could have meant a 4-5 game swing which changes everything for the current season.

Some posters didn't think the Jazz should add any ingredients last off season. They thought the Jazz should use the ingredients that they had and simply Bakk da Cakk.

Link?

I'm pretty sure you were one of the people wondering what would have happened if we'd had Mack the whole season. We can see from the 30 games he played here that we would have made the playoffs. That's just with Mack. Shelvin Mack.

You're saying that filling Lilsap/CJ's minutes with a real NBA player wouldn't change things much?

Exactly... Adding talent was a freaking no brainer. Even if we overpaid a bit. Many of those guys would be assets and if not then oh well... We finished under the cap and just barely over the minimum salary... That asset doesn't carry forward.
