Woj: Jazz 'confident' Hayward will stay

Ron Mexico said:
Really? I think that is a dumb move. Who cares what conference he is in. It's not like they are winning their conference and PG would stand in their way. It's silly they turned down better offers to get him out of the east. You should make your own team the best you can. I would not be happy of the Jazz passed up a better trade to make sure we traded someone to the east.

Indiana sacrificed themselves for the Jazz. It was honorable.
 
I'm thinking Oladipo was a big reason why Indiana traded PG to Orlando. Think about it. He was a star at Indiana University and has averaged 16 PPG over the past two seasons (17.9 PPG two years ago). Sabonis was the 11th pick in the 2016 draft.

I don't think they got the most value or even took the best offer for PG but I think a 16-point scorer in the NBA who was a star player at the biggest college in the same state for 3 years and a lottery pick is something you could possibly sell to the fans. I'm surprised they didn't try to get an extra 1st-round pick out of them.

OKC essentially traded Serge Ibaka for Paul George in the long run.

This is kinda funny to me.


I don't think neither Haslem or Whiteside has ever spoken more than a few words to Hayward his entire NBA career. Now they're tasked with trying to persuade him to sign with the Heat.

I do think Oladipo was a bad fit next to Westbrook. Oladipo needs the ball in his hands to be effective, he's just not a spot up shooter, but Westbrook is ball dominant. It was destined to fail to begin with.


I wouldn't be surprised if IND let Oladipo lose at the point some and see if he can play the position. What is there for them to lose by doing that? He can break down the defense, give the ball to Turner and Sabonis who are both great 3 point shooters already at this stage in their career.


OK, it wasn't the haul that CHI got, but PG also ain't Butler...

They will tell Gordon how great the beach is and how great the nightlife is without knowing he's a pasty home body that plays video games.

Kevin o Conner says his sources say Hayward is most likely headed to Miami... bill Simmons says him and Stevens are friends so that's why he's coming to Boston.

Meanwhile the guy has been openly talking to jazz management and coaching staff. We have the best defensive player in the league (**** you draymond), we just acquired a pass first point guard, and his best friend from the last few years (Ingles) ain't going nowhere. My sources say get off our damned lawn he's staying.

As in... theeee Kevin O Connor? link?
 
who wouldn't rather play with Gobert and Rubio instead of Dragic and Whiteside a thousand times over? From the perspective of roster composition, I don't even understand the threat that Miami poses.

I agree the rosters are not comparable, Pretty much every position is superior with the Jazz. The Jazz are probably better than Miami without Hayward than Miami is with Hayward. I think the only argument Miami has is that Pat Riley can build a championship. I assume he has some big plan that he will pitch that includes another big star joining them.
