Then you trade him. But he's always been happy in Utah, and the Jazz never mistreated him, I don't think.
[Jones]BREAKING: Jazz willing to engage Celtics in S&T talks: But Gordon Hayward must agree

Yeah but then they have to trade Smart or Bradley too.
Things can change during the season. If he is healthy and filling a big role on a team that ends up better off than expected after losing Hyaward he might warm up to the idea of sticking around, and fans would warm up to him as well.
Pretty sure renouncing QO makes the player a UFA, so they no longer have any rights on him. He would have to agree to the S&T. Right?
They wouldn't play Olynyk next to Rudy. They'd play Olynyk off the bench as a 3rd big and stretchy 5.
I don't think that works for them. That doesn't clear space for Hayward for them. They have already waived Olynyk rights. Favors makes more than Crowder. I could be wrong but I think even in the sign and trade they can't take in more than the salary cap.
I don't think it was lost on him that we were picking Hayward over him. He hasn't been getting much love at all with his injury-riddled season. I think he may not be super happy to be here at the moment. But things can certainly change.
How much are you willing to pay for a 3rd big who only plays backup center behind our best player Gobert. How many minutes will he get at backup? 15?

They probably actually want Favors to give them some interior defense, and its the reason we would be able to get Crowder's awesome contract (short of giving a 1st).
As for Smart, probably send him to NY for a pick or something.
