Honestly, I'm kinda to the point where I've run out of GAFs. Either way, I'm just ready to have the uncertainty over with. If Hayward leaves, I'm still going to be excited to watch Gobert and Mitchell **** up the league. We ain't going to fall off a cliff and die like some people think.

BUMP

Please stay Gordon. I will lose all hope as a fan if you leave. I'm not ready to go through another rebuild

I wouldn't say I'm out of ****s, as I would still be upset if he left. But I agree. I'm sooooo ready to get this over with, either way.

My feelings, too.
If Gordon goes, life goes on. Lindsey has to actually work through July to get other players. His vacation accrual goes up and the wifey and kids go to the beach without him.

Jazz take a step back for a couple of years. But I seriously believe Utah needs Exum and Mitchell to be at their defensive peaks to challenge. Mitchell, in particular, has the DNA to be a franchise player for Utah. You can't replace Hayward, but his scoring load can be redistributed among other players, including whoever replaces him in the starting lineup.

Gordon has the Jazz by the BALLS!! In the worst way!

And Exum. Have faith that what Lindsey said recently is truth.

I thought he was gone

I genuinely think he is staying due to Robyn’s

I wish Hayward would stay for $1 more than he could get anywhere else. Then we keep Ingles who I feel is closest to him.

We could then just wait on what to do with Hill. If he chases money, we add Teodisic.

After that, we ask Hayward what Favors trade makes the most sense because we can't afford to keep Hood, Favors and Exum after this year.

I only want him to stay if he wants to be here.

I've always questioned his leadership, and desire to be the man on this team.
His talent has never been in question. His toughness, and ability to lead have.

He has helped build this team, and we improved this off-season with the draft. If he wants to leave then see ya.
If he wants to come back he can lead this team even higher then hell ya.

It'll be a hit if he leaves, but not as big as some of you think....

David James this morning on 1280 talked about how NBA deals get done. Because the "Moritorium" and tampering rules are easily sidestepped and never enforced some teams are recruiting players all time. Consequently many of the decisions are made weeks, or months before the July FA period. For example Durrant had decided to go to GS long before he dogged three playoff games to let them advance in the play-offs.

According to James, some people in Boston believe Gordon decided to go to boston last summer. Some people believe he decided earlier this year.

James also talked about Dennis O'Lindsey having multiple plans in place to move on if Hayward leaves.

What DJ didn't say, but should have, is the fans are the unfortunate and unwitting victims here, everyone else knows what is going on but maintain the illusion of playing by the rules.
