Good lord people take this all too personally. The young man had major career decision to make and he chose to go elsewhere. I don't see why people cannot respect his decision and his freedom to choose by any criteria he wants. I think he did it in a fair manner and it's his choice. I hope we can all be accorded some respect and freedom when we make a career shift.

It's just incredibly ridiculous to compare this to one of us changing career. Do 20,000 people go crazy cheering for you while you work ? Are people and their kids spending money on your merchandise ?? Sport is ALL about passion and taking things regarding your team personally. All he contrived BS he and his agent have come out with are so obviously manufactured and disingenuous that's why people feel like it's a slap in the face: the fact that he's made zero mention of the teammates he's been to war with and has been so easily able to put aside those relationships speaks volumes. He's a fake who is all about himself and his carefully crafted image. The gulf between him and Rudy as men and stand up leaders is enormous.

Get over yourself.

It's his life, his decision.

It is a business. Did you listen to the interview? It had a lot more data than the supposed transcript in this thread.

Let's see your man Rudy when he is a UFA for the 1st time.......I'll lay a bet he walks as well......

The more I listen to what has come out, it feels to me DL's decision to make Hayward look during RFA is a big factor. Just my gut feel.

He texted DL, He talked to Quin immediately with the decision.

None of us know what was said at that time but some people hold a grudge.

What would be the reasoning other than the team might be worse off?

Reasoning doesn't matter. Fans can be upset with haywood.
I just hope you can get over that fact.

They definitely care about the business side. Fans complain about contracts given out all the time.

Not cause we give a **** what they make though.
We complain about contracts cause they affect how good the team is.

If we are winning championships and the Millers want to pay withey 50 million per year then I have no problem with it.
 
I found it odd that Hayward texted Lindsey instead of calling. I know it's not quite the same thing but I'd be pretty annoyed if one of my most valuable employees quit and sent me a text instead of a phone call. Seems rather unprofessional.
 
I'm buying the best seats I can and booing this mother****er as loud as I can when BOS comes to town.

Not really. I'd estimate I got 90% of Bartlestein's responses down. Yes, I missed some things, but not a ton.

No, a lot of people complain about how much NBA players make. Dont act like that isnt a thing.
 
In hindsight, I wonder if Hayward requested they all come to San Diego because they were his last visit and he did not want to be in Utah when his decision was finalized because, well, he knew what his decision was (going to be) and didn't want the obligation to tell them in person. Staying in San Diego was his cute little way to avoid all adult responsibility and fan hatred.
