Move On From Hayward?

You'd be a straight fool to ignore the sharpest and best poster this site has consistently had.

The dude who thinks the jazz suck, have no talent or assets, no future, horrible management, and will never be any good?

Ya that's some good posting on a site made for fans of the utah jazz.

This trade only makes sense if we send out Fave and Burks and contend for top 3 pick next year. We could have a real nice Tank Commander in Burke, too.

With Burks and Exum healthy along with Lyles, Gobert, and Hood development and an off-season for Mack to get acquainted, I don't think we take a step back at all before we even consider what we get with the #3 pick. We are a playoff team without Hayward. Still not a contender, but a playoff team.

Both of their takes on the team as a whole have been piss poor lately. I'm betting the chicken littles of the board will be back-pedaling this year. Utah was looking pretty damn good before Exum got injured, and missing Gobert and Favors for big stretches didn't help. When this team is healthy, they are a hell of a lot better than either of those guys will admit,

We also can go into luxury tax threshold to keep our players in the future if this team becomes good. The current ownership has already shown they are willing to do this if needed. They did it in the Dwill Booze era.

Millers paid tax under OLD CBA (dollar for dollar). It is now 3.25:1 if over $15M (4.25 for repeaters). There is no way Jazz have the revenue to absorb this. Even Mark Cuban is going to work like hell to stay under the luxury limit.

Merely your opinion

The best poster who almost never posts and when he does it's apparent he either has his period or is going through menopause? That one?

I don't see why that is out of the realm of possibility. Last time I checked all 3 players are far from their ceiling.

But be a pessimist if you must.

I like our core, but hard to imagine a large improvement from Hayward and Favors. I think they are pretty near their peak. Incremental improvements are more likely.

We are going to create a new model to see how far a team with 3 top 30 players can go.

If we contend, it will be because of Lyles or Hood over Favors. That guy does not compliment Gobert at all. Lyles is the future of the NBA and Jazz. He could be our star.

Love Lyles but he will never have Favor's athleticism, rebounding and D. I'll take both.

People are too worried about our players needing big contracts in the future. .

Some believe that we would be much better off having fewer players who have earned big contracts. Silly, this gives us tough choices to make, but look a the alternative.


The idea that Dante, Lyles and Hood will all command big contracts is nice to think about but a very low probability. More likely that 1/3 will be worthy.

Gotta get rid of Hayward - no way Jazz can pay him the max. That money is needed to sign worse players that are more easily replaceable, or to sign the Jazz player or future draftee that becomes better than Hayward in which case he would be the bee's knees and receive a max contract regardless.
