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

[Game6Conley]

Id like to add;

- There are still serviceable wing players on the market.

- The 2015 draft's strengths are SF and C. (are the Jazz going to make the playoffs with Hayward anyway?)

- Rodney Hood by some miracle fell to 23. Hes more polished than most of this years rookies, and will be able to contribute offensively from day 1. I think if the Jazz were forced to give hood near 30 minutes he could safely produce 12-13ppg, TBH.

12) Has no leadership skills
13) Worse body language in the league
14) Players like JJ Barera and Delonte West know they can bully him and he will fold like a house of cards.
15) Will sulk when he ultimately gets booed for being overpaid
16) We aren't going to win any ways in the next couple of years, what difference does Gordon really make
17) My TV color will need to be adjusted when I don't have to compensate for his ultra white skin color
18) Olive Garden and Subway will survive in this market without him...barely
19) This could be the longest five years of my life...(

I like so much of what Hayward does on the court but the bottom line to me is that if he doesn't have a consistent shot then we need to let him go for that kind of money. When it's crunch time in the playoffs you have to be able to sink the shots.

The way I look at it is that Hayward had his chance as the number 1 option to prove to everyone why he is a max player(failed). I think we should now make Burks our number 1 option and see if he can earn a max contract. If you give Hayward the max after a bad season then it doesn't matter what Burks and Kanter does, they will both want max contracts too. Can't give everyone a Max deal

I'm sorry Gordon Hayward is a solid 10mil/year player. I'm not giving him a max contract. Not now, not tomorrow, not anytime.

Thank God the Cavs didn't sign Gordon Hayward. Thank God.

The NBA should get ready for a lockout soon, when Gordon Hayward is becoming a maxcontract player. Money just being thrown around these days

 

[cowhide]

Stan Van Gundy is laughing his @$$ off right now. He said Hayward was a 7 million dollar player.

Even Charlotte fans are pissed.

 

[cowhide]

DL don't start being dumb now. Let him walk or make a deal with the Hornets. Then go out and sign Parson.

 

[franklin]

Even without the alleged tradekicker, Hayward is instantly untradeable the moment he signs that deal.

I'm aware you hate Hayward because he's the current veteran "stealing" playing time away from ya boi Burks.

 

[franklin]

Hayward has not been offered a contract.

 

[SojoDave]

From Twitter. "Dear Jazz organization. If you sign Gordon Hayward to a max contract you will be stuck in reverse for the next 4 years."

I have faith in Dennis Lindsey

DL gambled...hoping that the media leaks/rumors regarding matching Gordon Koncak at any cost would work in the Jazz's favor. It backfired. You can't win every hand in poker...throw your cards away and live to play another hand. I believe DL is smart enough to walk away.
