Stein: Utah is telling teams Hayward is unavailable.

[Handlogten's Heros]

Funny, I guess Phoenix thinks Hayward is really good too. And Boston. But what do Earl Watson, Brad Stevens and Danny Ainge know? If only they read jazzfanz.

This was my first thought... My second was do people know that Bledsoe is heavily reliant on athleticism and more than likely his knees will never allow you to be confident he will be available.

This is exactly what I am taking from all these trade rumors. Hayward is a hot commodity.

Yes he is. As I see it there are two options with this team:

1. Embrace our current players and push forward hard to make a contender

or

2. Blow it up completely and rebuild. Trade Hayward, Favors, Burks... gobble up all the early 1st rounders you can the next 2-3 years and rebuild.

After the Hill trade it is clear to me that option 1 is where the FO is going and I am very happy with it. I'd be OK with blowing it up hard.

What I would not be happy with at all is half hearted approach to either approach. Like trading just Hayward or Favors for a single lottery pick that just treadmills us for another year or two. Time to go all in. Win NOW or wipe it clean and start over.

Yeah it kicks us off the fence which I liked. Also, I really don't look at it like a rental. Hill is likely to be resigned or extended using some of our cap space this year.

Sources say Phoenix, in its failed trade pitch to convince Utah to surrender Gordon Hayward, tried to pair Eric Bledsoe with a lottery pick

One thing must be clear, we still have to listen to calls. If Boston offers us something ridiculous, we have to listen. If they throw us #3, a future BKN pick, and Jae Crowder, we have to consider.

Sure, you always listen, but you need to be blown away for a trade to take place. 3+spare parts is not close to enough.

I've said all along that we make the playoffs even without Hayward. For you to make any strong point, we would have to go 6 or 7 in the 2nd round if we keep Hayward especially after spending #12 on Hill.

I've been on record saying we make the playoffs even without Hayward. So why would I take a bet where I say Utah will miss the playoffs WITH Hayward?

Why don't you piss off?

What insight do you have kid? All you do is go around talking ****. You have no knowledge. You're just some bitter kid who probably can't hit a layup on a little tykes goal your Mommy brought you last Christmas.

We will be good this year. I'm excited. But facts are facts - Hayward could walk next summer, Hayward could get overpaid next summer and Hayward will not lead us to a title as the #1 guy. Even Hayward fan club presidents know those are facts.
