STAYWARD

Tony Jones @tribjazz
The Jazz will remain in contact tonight with the Hayward camp, I'm told. But are giving space to Hayward himself.

Cool, so nothing is happening today. Guess I can enjoy my family and friends company and stop checking my phone so much...

There's no need for that. We have a number of young players who may turn out to be great. Just add a scorer to replace Hayward. We'll be a bit worse next year, but we'll recover.

If Hayward leaves then we all of a sudden need two all star level players in order to be able to compete for championships instead of just one. Our cap is a mess if he leaves. We'll be just good enough that we won't have great draft picks. It destroys our position if he goes. I know we have young guys who can develop. That might be a saving grace. But it's highly unlikely that two of them develop to an all star level. And if they did, it probably won't be for another 2-3 years which damages our window with Rudy.

Hayward damaging the Jazz with his indecision, we could have taken Gallinari or trade for Butler.

Hayward not showing any type of respect to the Jazz fans and franchise.

I still hope he makes like DeAndre Jordan last season and decides to stay with the Jazz at the end.

All of a sudden i have a lot more respect for Paul George.

I agree. IMO, our real championship hope lies in the ability of Rubio, Exum and Mitchell to be a defensive wall against Curry and Klay. And I think the repeater penalty may force GS to let someone go...perhaps Green or Klay. No way can they pay those 2 guys in a couple of years when they're due new contracts.

I'm not in the "championship or bust" camp. I'd rather we build around what we have to field the best team possible, as opposed to hoping we tank until we hit the jackpot when I'm 68 years old.

I don't get the hold up. If he is going to Boston why keep delaying it. This is really making him look bad. Bartelstine can't be happy either. He has a great reputation and this can't be a ok with this.

In order to clear max space, the Celtics would need to make a number of moves, renouncing a couple players, perhaps signing and trading a couple others, etc. So in terms of formality, the Celtics can't quite offer him the max deal just yet. That said, it doesn't sound as though he's told the Celtics he wants to play there.
