Saw this elsewhere. Think Betrayward knew he was leaving?

I think The Jazz made the Rubio move because they thought Hayward might be leaving.

No sense bringing back Hill for 60mil on a 40 win team when they can have Rubio for less than half that and a 35 win team.

I disagree it was thrown out there a bunch that we needed an established point guard on the roster when we met with Gordon and the Hill/Ingles/ Hayward negotiations would have been tough.
 
If he made All NBA and was eligible for the supermax probably would have stayed. Yes it would have looked greedy of him to say he's leaving after missing out on it, but I think fans would have preferred it to the dog and pony show he put on.
 
Who cares about Hayward at this point? Mitchell is ten times the player Hayward was at this stage in their careers and he's really not that far behind him overall in the grand scheme of things. Mitchell has the "It factor", that shouldn't be overlooked or taken lightly.

Onward and upward gentlemen, not Hayward.

Love Mitchell, but Hayward was vastly better in his 7th year than rookie Mitchell.

Nope. Rubio only works with Benedict there. Otherwise it was always going to be the **** show we see now.
 
For some reason I'm reminded of this woman I once worked with. Her husband straight left her high and dry. Total dick move. And she would not shut up about it. All the damn time. Some grown woman processing all the clues she missed with a bunch of college kids. Like, "once I asked him about going to my parents for the weekend and he hesitated for a split second. Do you think he was already cheating on me?!?!?" I was like, hey lady, I'm 18 and I don't think I'm equipped to unpack all this with you at the moment.

Don't know why I'm remembering this now. Just thought I'd share. Probably has nothing to do with anything happening on the board.

It was reported that Hayward asked for a trade in summer of 2016 to Boston.

The Jazz were stupid. They should have tried to get picks from Boston for Hayward.

Yeah, but Hayward also bought a new house in Utah that same summer (the one he sold). So if the whole housing market is really swaying you, then you should think Hayward though he was staying last year.
