I hope we re-sign him. He is going to have a great year next year.

Obviously I'd rather not. I know if we do, it will probably bite us in the *** later. What else are we going to do though? I think re-signing Hayward, even for a price over what he is worth, is our best chance at competing long-term. I don't see us getting anyone more talented, and I don't think re-signing Burks, even for a cheaper amount (instead of Hayward at all), will make us a better than team than an over-paid Hayward.
I harbor no ill will towards how Hayward played free agency. Anyone who does is a baby.

I just posted this in another thread but I think it applies here.
All I know is that only three players in the league averaged these stats 16.2pts, 5.1rb, 5.2as. LeBron James, Kevin Durant and Gordon Hayward. Then if you add in 1.4st, 0.5blks there's only one guy in the NBA they did that Gordon Hayward. I don't care what any of you say if that was easy to do 35 or 40 guys would be doing it every year. If he goes back to his career average percentages he'll score over 20 a game. In a better system with better coaching you can expect everything else to go up as well. I don't even begin to see the selfish player you're talking about but I do agree with you that he plays soft when people poke him in the ear and he pouts way too much. If he can find his balls and man up and play with a little more excitement dude is legit.

Hard to argue that. Top 3 in the league...............doe. (Did I do it right?)

He out plays a 8mil contract all day long. Many people just don't really understand the value of good players and how the NBA really works? The salary cap went up almost 5mil just this year. With the new TV deal the NBA estimates cap could go up to the 90-100mil range. With that 13 to 15mil you pay Hayward is nothing.

You on some sort of 12 step program or something? This feels like scripted optimism.

Demar Derozan is better than Hayward and people were killing his 4/40 million dollar extension before last season.
15 mil a year for Hayward is a joke.
41% from the field and 30% from 3... Those percentages remind me of;

Gotta spread dat rep.
He signed that offer after averaging 18,3, and 2 with little ability to shoot from outside of 18 feet. So at the time he signed the deal it was considered an over pay. He really improved after he signed that deal and Hayward could easily do the same

Well this is new and exciting news. Anyone else know any of this? Are you currently a GM of a team? I mean how else would you know all this stuff?
Check and mate, Bodhi......check and maaaaaate.
Armed with that info, I project Gordo at 37/16/12 next year.
That's the spirt Bodhi! The point was at the time Derozens stats didn't justify the contract he was given. He proved the Raps right in giving him that contract and I don't see why Gordon couldn't do the same under different conditions. Obviously there are teams out there that thing he can if the are going to pony up that kind of cash

The anti Hayward stuff is really harshing my buzz, man. I'm actually worried that if we pay him more than 12 he'll get booed like he set out to screw the team or something. People need to get a grip.

Who is maxing Hayward? I haven't checked twatter since like 7 tonight, and the latest news was the same : he went to ClLE, but CLE didn't extend an offer to him because they were fearful that we'd match and it would just clog up their cap while we took the full allotted time just to screw them over for trying to take our guy.
People are believing we are matching anything, because we most likely are. So yes, people can window shop, but who is actually ready to make that irrational purchase?
Hayward will get paid, big money by us, but I still doubt it's max.

I think that is a valid concern. If Hayward is paid over 12 million a year and does not produce like a superstar he will be booed. He shouldn't be, but he will be. Management should be booed for paying that much.
Nobody hates Hayward. Fans hate overpaying players because they believe it prevents them from getting better players that could actually help them win games. Don't know if it true, but its fan nature.
