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

I don't think it's bad of Hayward to see whats out there up close. It's a smart move in my book. Visiting with the teams, and getting a sense of what the core of your career may look like is wise. Maybe we don't like it, because it's sort of telling on how he feels about us. As a personal move I think its in his best interest to see these places, visit these people, and go after the best deal.
 
If he's looking for a job opportunity, and being the player who has a decent market value right now, I think teams invite him to check out the city, the organization and break balls a little.

It looks gay as hell Gordon or any other player checking out those opportunities, but you would have to accept that invitation too if you were looking for a deal. But if he thinks he should travel around because he is one of the solid stars of the league, then he is considering himself more than what he is.

I wonder if he is making all the trips because he can and nobody has given him an offer yet. This might be all about him learning about where he is in the league.

Same rules of trade would apply there too. Market yourself not waiting for the demand and you lowball our own value. Wait for them to come to you and enjoy your leverage.
 
Dudes. I have no problem with him shopping for the best deal. Get over it.

I have a problem with making RFAgency a ****ing parade. Both cities he visited, CLE and CHA, their boards have Hayward threads and every post is wtf. No one wants this guy for more that $9M and most don't want him at all. This tour is stupid.

You may be unaware, but fans don't sign the contracts.

oh rly omfggtfo

Tours like this are media stunts as well. They help manipulate the deal and stir up the fan base. I used other boards as an example. The hype for Hayward is not out there. Again, this tour is stupid.

So Hayward should just sit at home and make phonecalls instead of visiting the places he might be playing for during the next 4 years?
 
I mentioned this in another thread - those talks of Hayward being in Cleveland discussing a potential contract are FALSE. He wasn't in Cleveland at all. His agent was blowing smoke to pump up his value.
