We have no choice. We have the cap space and have to spend money and cant spend it on anyone else.

checkmate
 
Win some you lose some. Favors at 12 = win. Hayward at 15.75 = loss. Burks will be the rubber game of the series.

I agree that in hindsight Lindsay screwed up, but I'm willing to bet that had we extended Hayward for $13 mil/per last season, this board would have exploded with complaints of Lindsay bidding against himself and upset fans claiming that there is no way Hayward would have been offered that much as an RFA.

THIS, totally...either way, people thump their chests and claim Unknown super GM powers...meh, he will do fine

How odd - I recall most posters last year screaming that $12 mil a year was overpaying him and that he's no Favors and is a $10 mil a year guy at best.

I hate matching Hayward, but I fail to see how we are going to spend our money considering that the priority FA's are chasing rings and the only ones who would come here over being on a contender are doing that because we are overpaying them.

Athletes are overpaid while us scrubs clip coupons - that's the class system in action.

Then maybe we should fold this hand, pick up our chips, and try again next year. We know what we have with Hayward and it ain't that great. But we don't know what trades may fall our way if we maintain our cap flexibility. Heck, if every team is spending their cap room for mediocre talent this year, then maybe some FA bargains fall our way next year.

hayward wanted $13 per year for 4 years and you penny pinched for $12 per year for year.....short-sided....i thought lindsey came from the spurs and was heralded as the next wunderkind

How do you know this is even true? Because his agent said it. Besides the fact that if the Jazz think Hayward is only worth $12 million the Spurs thing to do is let him walk.

I agree 100 percent. Why waste half of Hayward's contract while rebuilding the team. He is going to want another contract in 4 years and does anyone think he is going to give us a home team discount.
 
I remember all those threads criticizing DL for not giving in to Hayward's salary demands. Man, we had to merge them ****s like crazy.
 
Tell me. You **** faces... are we matching?????????????????????????

I assume no. If we are, **** DL.
 
Lindsey didn't mess up because he didn't give to Hayward he messed up because he didn't trade Hayward when he realized he had no interest in signing for what Lindsey thought was Hayward's value. Now he's in a corner to match or get nothing in return.
