IF the Jazz re-sign Hayward, I can guarantee we trade Kanter or Burks this year.

I'd rather let Hayward walk and sign Kanter and Burks to respectable extensions.

Jazz said they will match. Making bad decisions on contracts affects the team. What if it interferes with resigning Kanter and Burks? Or some other free agent next year?

What the Jazz pay their players does matter. If you can't see that then that's your loss.

That's what I am saying. This deal affects us negatively so why should anyone be happy for Hayward if you are a Jazzfan?

Playing devil's advocate here... If the Jazz let Hayward walk, who do they sign to replace him? They will not get any free agents to go to Utah that are anywhere near the player that Hayward is, so do the Jazz just hope that Hood or an undrafted summer league guy will be enough, and then hope for a good wing in next year's lottery? Again, I am on the fence about Hayward's value, but what do you do as an organization if you let him walk?

You expand Burks role, and Exum will be initiating the offense with his speed even at 19 years old. As for SF you make a run at Ariza or Deng, and the 2014/15 draft is stocked well with SFs.

Alec Burks, you know, that guy on our team who is really similar to Dante Exum, but less talented and less intelligent. We can overpay him next year when we feature him in a larger role and a team like the Hornets signs him to a huge offer sheet.

I was operating a bit under the assumption that Hayward would play more minutes at the three with Exum getting drafted.

Trevor Ariza would be ideal but is unlikely.

Fransisco Garcia makes a ton of sense and the Jazz apparently are interested.

I know posters here hate him passionately, but Michael Beasley shot outstanding %'s last year, Id gamble on him on a 1 year deal, all the Jazz need to do is bridge the gap til the trade deadline or the 2015 draft. Evan Turner is in this category also, I much prefer Beas.

Tyler Honeycutt, whos playing for the Heat SL, is a SF id consider the Jazz have worked him out recently.

Al Farouq Aminu can give 15-20 mins at SF if you need rebounds, hes a major change of pace from Rodney Hood.

Marvin is still an option but it seems teams want him at PF.

PJ Tucker would be a great fit.

That ship sailed. Don't think they see Favors and Gordon and see the millions Favors left on the table.

I wish the front office thought the same way.

I tweeted this:

https://jazzfanz.com/showthread.php?30869-The-case-for-paying-Gordon-Hayward-the-MAX

to Hayward's agent, Charlotte read it, and Michael Jordan offers a contract within the hour. Waiting on the phone call from DL, tbh.

 

[Fishsticks]

Oubre and Johnson are going to be bad *** SF in the league. I'm with PGAB, just let him go, fill the gap for a year and hope we get one of those two in the lottery.

 

[Scorpjazz]

I dont think anyone is upset with that lil punk *** bitch

Yeah, obviously not at all...smh

They will match, and it is what they have to do...it doesnt matter at all IF he is worth that money or not..do you people not get how this works yet??
Again..they WILL match or S&T..

 

[bigmike]

This is a disaster.

GH is good but holy ****, the max

 

[fishonjazz]

Alec Burks, you know, that guy on our team who looked better than hayward did last year despite being younger and less experienced who is also more fun to watch and has a better attitude and mire confidence and swagger

Fixed
#defendalecburks..... ifyoucan

Charlotte offer sheet for Gordon Hayward expected to include player option on fourth year, and a trade kicker, league sources tell Yahoo.


A trade kicker could hurt us. Don't see us matching.

 

[stitches]

I wonder if the Jazz don't have a third option - do a sign and trade. What can we get from the Hornets? First round pick? That's probably going to be somewhere around lottery. Any other asset that you'd like to have from the Hornets? MKG?

 

[Beantown]

I'd rather not pay him and give Burks+Kanter extensions. Though it would look pretty stupid if we let 3 star players leave in the last 2 years with Big Al, Milsap, and Hayward...


HAHA I just realized that Hayward will be making more then Big Al on the hornets... hahahahhaha

How dumb are you?

-This max contract doesn't restrict Burks and Kanter extensions

-You would rather have Al Jefferson over Hayward on your team?

Assuming the Hornets are using the line of thought "Hayward played pretty well besides shooting, which he has been historically good at. If he continues the same production, but his shooting corrects itself, we have someone approaching a max contract player. Plus we just had Hairston punch a HS kid in the throat, we need someone who looks nice to make the PR Guy's job easier."
