Omnibus Gordon Hayward Thread (To clean up the Board some)

I especially like how they are adamant about NOT giving up MKG.
Sure, we DEFINITELY want a "shrink SF." What's that, you ask? A player who only shoots 11% on his 3's.

So, purely out of curiosity, if several firms in different cities were recruiting you, each offering a high salary but a different work environment, you would not take the time to visit each firm and each city before making an informed decision where you wanted to work?

No way, because you have probably been in the lobby of those firms before.

I agree with you completely. Seriously, who has the ego here... Hayward or Jazz fans? Newsflash, this DOES happen all the time, the media just does not report on it. The other teams probably want to have a chance to interview Hayward too. It goes both ways.
 
It's looking more likely that DL has scared teams off a bit. I'm predicting the Jazz sign Hayward for an average of $13.75mm, front loaded so the last year salary of $13mm is equivalent to about $10.3 - $10.7mm under last year's salary cap.

That would be a solid value.

As someone else said..... he has been to each of these cities numerous times already. Because he is an nba player he travels alot in his line of work

He has probably been to cleveland at least 4 times and has probably been to charlotte more than than (jazz play western conference teams more than eastern)

But he has not sat down with management and discussed their vision, the role they see for him, what kind of offense they plan on running, what are the other benefits of joining the team, etc. With such an important decision to make, anyone who does not do good due diligence is, in all honesty, a fool.

This offseason tour Hayward is going on is annoying and kind of stupid. How many RFA's are courting and visiting teams this offseason? Maybe I'm taking things too seriously, but he's going on a Melo tour and, whether he thinks so or not, he ain't no Melo.

"Hey Gordo, MJ on the phone, how are you? Hey Gordo, before if we decide whether to invest $50MM on you, we'd like to fly you out on our corporate jet, talk to our coach, GM and owners, wine and dine you and show you our facilities"

"Gee, no, Mr Jordan, that is really not a good idea, people might think I am going on a Melo tour and think I might be being kinda stupid. So, you airness, I must respectfully decline."
 
I am surprised at all the Hayward backlash.

Owners clean up making money in this league.

If you can get overpaid, do it. In any job. You are worth what they pay you.

I am rooting for Gtime to get his Max. If I had to bet, I say 12-13.

I root for the team more than i root for gordo.

Gordo making less money is good for the team

Therefore i hope he gets as little as possible
