Parsons gets 3 years, $45 million offer from Dallas

[Ben10]

You say nearly every one of his teammates see their shooting % go up with Hayward on the floor. Are you making that up, or do want to provide a link? Maybe it's true, but I'd like to see it, so I might feel a little bit better when DL matches that horrific contract. Because he will do it.

When Hayward was on the floor, Favors shot 54%. When Hayward was off the floor, Favors shot 46%. The same goes for almost everyone on the Jazz last year. Trey Burke’s EFG% was 46.5% with Hayward on and 39.8% with him off. The same applies to Richard Jefferson (55.6% vs. 51%), Alec Burks (50.5% vs. 47%) and Enes Kanter (50.5% vs. 46%).

Hayward is clearly more than a role player. He will be a borderline allstar for the length of his contract here, and probably get another big contract when that is up.

White privilege is real.

This does mean Hayward will probably be matched. Parson's is older than Hayward with less potential. This sucks so bad.

I'm glad we agree that the Jazz need Hayward.

I saw what you did there

But why do we need him? Where will he take this team? Where would the team go without him?

This may sound crazy, but maybe Hayward resides in an area that is above a simple role player, but below NBA superstar. Chandler Parsons is the very definition of a role player. He is very good at one thing and not much else. Hayward can give you 20+ points on any given night, rebounds well for his position and is also a great distributor for his position. Nearly every one of his teammates see their shooting % go up with Hayward on the floor.

While I'll gladly agree he's not a superstar, I think he brings too much to the table to be labeled a simple role player.

I agree with these posts and figure we will match so im gonna TRY to get a more positive outlook on the situation

When the Jazz match, that will make me feel a bit better.

Unfortunately, earlier this year, Locke spent about 3 podcasts showing how Hayward fits perfectly in the 10 million range compared to similarly producing players.

I just stumbled onto an interesting stat.

Career 3pt shooting percentage:

Parsons: 37%
Hayward: 36.5%

I think that's a great example of just how dumb we are as fans. Without seeing that stat, most fans would shout from the roof tops that Parsons was by far the better outside shooter. Myself included.

And i think burks is 35%

Because IMO, he's a very good player that we don't replace easily, or at all. His versatility is not common.
