Jody Genessy Deseret News - Hayward "wants better talent around him"

[str8line]

Hayward needs to step up, and worry about his own game. At times we've seen Hayward play at a high level. An Allstar level.
There have been times during the last two seasons hes looked outstanding. The problem is he is not consistent(playing at a high level), has never been an all-star,
and never led a team to the playoffs. Clearly we need to upgrade, but also clearly we have enough talent to make the playoffs
now. We've needed a leader more than anything. Hayward could be that guy. I think he is talented enough to be a good number one,
but he doesnt have the fire to be a great one. And in no reasonable scenario do I see him leading a team to a title.

We are damned if we do (build around Hayward), and dammed if we don't (trade or let him walk in FA). We have a lot of talent on the team.
With Exum, and Burks coming back clearly we should make the playoffs. With the addition of Hill we had experience, and talent. I just dont see
a leader in Hayward, Exum, or anyone on the roster. I hold out a little hope for Gobert, but he regressed last year. Too much of our talent is passive
and quiet. Favors, Hood, Hayward, Exum etc. We need some nasty on the roster.

Some nasty is definitely in order, but I will never question Gordon's fire. The problem is that he can't be the only one to step up on such a consistent basis. We need a Bill Laimbeer.

Hayward and I have something in common. I want better talent around him too.

Around "him"?

HIM"

You axe like Hayward is Karl Malone. Kall Malone!!!
I want some player like Kall Malone that is loyal to Utah Jazz who is fighting for us. For us! Not some punk fans they want to surround a Hayward with cut rate garbage.

Karl Malone I pray to you please save us.
