Should DL Trade Hayward?

Qman said:
12 mil a year is not a max contract. I believe a max deal would be about 13.5 mil. IMO it would be slight overpay for Hayward. Hayward is a legit starter in the league and should be paid about 9-10 mil a year. Also so what if we overpay him by about 3 mil a year? We have cap room to burn.

That's a horrible attitude, and one I'm sure DL doesn't share. 3 mill/year is the difference between being able to make a free agent a 12 mill/year offer and a 15 mill/year offer. 3 mill/year can also allow you to absorb someone else's bad contract, picking up a pick in the process. Etc.

When talking about player's contracts, it's amusing how some Jazz fans have no concept of money and act like it grows on trees. $3 million is $3 milliion, it's real money, not monopoly money. If you asked a typical Jazz fan to pay $25 for a cup of coffee "just because they have the money available to do so" I doubt there would be any takers.
 
It's all about the money and his contract. We already know who Hayward is and what he's capable of.He's a versatile glue guy who makes lots of things but not specialist any of them. He does not deserve 12 mil per year contract so if he wishes to earn more than 10 mil, better to let him leave.
 
Gotta love Hayward's consistency with being inconsistent...

Last 4 games: 39.3 min/game, (15-50) 30% FG, 4-12 33% 3PT, 12.8 ppg (jazz record 2-2)
Previous 4 games: 38 min/game, (39-65) 60% FG, 11-19 58% 3PT, 27.0 ppg (jazz record 2-2)

I pointed his inconsistency out before and an argument ensued. Good luck.

If that 3 million a year means Hayward signs the extension instead of taking the qualifying offer and become a true free agent, I think it is worth the risk of tieing up the 3 million a year for the next 4 years.
 
On the radio, I heard that with the new bargaining agreement, the most we could pay Gordon is 12 million a year, but our advantage is we could offer him a fifth year where no one else can. I've been wrong before, but that's what I heard...I think.

You're wrong bro this years max after a rookie contract was $13,701,250(this number could be even higher next offseason) with a yearly raise of 7.5%. You're right on the 5th year but therefore he have to sign the extension and not go in to RFA.
 
Trade Hayward now!
He isn't even a consistent spot up shooter and is for sure not a consistent shooter off the dribble.

I don't want to pay him more than 8 million a year. Burks might have more work to do on his shot but he consistently attacks the rim which hayward does not.

Trey
Burks
???
Kanter
Favors

We don't know who the future SF will be but its not Hayward. These guys are trying out for who is going to make the team. We know Favors and Burke is with us for the next 3-4 years. Burks and Hayward are battling right now to see who stays. Burks is ahead in my opinion.
Kanter I think is proving himself as he is getting better as the year goes on.
