Hayward to Boston

So is there such thing as a tpe anymore? Seems like it changed in the new cba.

It's been said, but my beef is that he gave a big eff you to the jazz franchise by dragging things out. We could have gave a chance to land a legit player. Tons of guys were moved for cheap.

Not cool to Rudy, Dwill sucked, but because we knew Koc for a reasonable haul. Hayward left us a condolence letter.

Its like it was pre meditated to screw us over as much as possible. I feel like I misjudged his character.

You are embarrassing yourself. Its not 'a fact' when you base your arguments on 'what if' (if DL had drafted X player, had traded for PG, had done this or that). Those are not facts just conjectures.

Why do you want to place the blame on DL? He has done a great job in building this team. Not offering the 4 max seems like a mistake in hindsight but you need to be fair and remember the context: GH was coming from a disappointing season as 'the man'. He was unlikely to get a max offer. At the time it was also uncertain he was going to become a franchise guy. It could have been AK47's contract mistake all over again. Also no one on the league (GMs, players and agents) imagined that the jump in cap space would make any contract at the time look like a bargain a couple years later.

Anyway, stop trying to blame one side and calling 'facts' hypothetical situations. Jazz management and coaching staff did a terrific job in assembling this team. Hayward just decided to leave for his own personal reasons.

Lol. So DL didn't send Hayward out to find his own deal?
 
I kinda want to trade our entire roster to the east for draft picks. Rudy to Cleveland for a 2021 and 2023 first Thompson and shumpert, who we flip (**** you Hayward). Then trade the rest to Brooklyn for their players and spite. (**** you Danny Ainge).

Get a top 4 pick every year for the next 3. I can root for Cleveland for a few years. Rudy gets a ring. Celtics assets evaporate. A few years fro. Now the Jazz are loaded with promising talent that is locked up longterm just as the Warriors are beginning to crack.

You know none of this as if it's a fact.
He might have wanted to go to boston and his one and only true love Stevens no matter what the jazz did.

If we signed him to a max deal, he's still here for one more year and Boston doesn't have cap room next year.

Everyone seems to skim over that fact.
 
I understand being angry and disappointed.

Some of these comments though.

Seriously ?

I hope you guys are just playing around.
 
I'm not that upset that he left , more so how Gordon chose to string this out !

He was never going to take us to the promise land , sure he hit a few game winners , but there were a lot of games where he looked to the heavens , eyes glazed , pressure building on the shoulders .

If you take away Joe Johnsons performances in round 1 we don't win that series.

When Rudy went down , it was time for him to stand up and he didn't , joe Ingles in game 1 did , Favours had moments , Joe Johnson as mentioned .

To string out a great organisation , a fan base that only wanted the best for you , even though you weren't as talented as we all hoped , won't be forgotten .

For your immature wife to post silly photos of the kids in Boston green a week before free agency opened , showed the world we are dealing with 20 something year olds, not the man to take us to the promise land.

I guess I like to think most players that are on our team have the desire , heart and class as John Stockton.

You my friend don't eve come close to Greg Ostertag

Thank god we have Rudy

They make room. He bounces next year.

That was easy

I became a jazz fan in 1995, as I was 10 years old. A year later, as my face was full of acne, I experienced the joy of them being in finals. All my friends here in Germany were on Bulls/Jordan bandwagon and I was a kind of a outsider but it made me feel special. I loved the humble approach of Stockton and Malone and the Jazz franchise. I remember; while watching the last seconds of a finals game, I couldn't leave TV and missed my subway to school and even my mom was shaking her head my dad said "ok, I pay for the taxi". I remember the day NBA league pass was made available in Germany and I worked extra hours after University to afford it. I remember how I choose my classes at the latest hours possible, because I stood awake till morning to watch Jazz. In 2009, my company send me to Las Vegas for a convention, it was first time for me in the USA and even the convention last just for 5 days, all I hope was that jazz pass Lakers in playoffs so I can fly to Salt Lake and see a Jazz game, after the convention.(Jazz lost 4-1, so no Jazz game for me). 3 years later I was send to San Diego for training. This was my chance! 2 months in USA during NBA Season, so I should be able to see a Jazz game right? But my schedule was so packed and in these 2 months I just had a week of free time. Other europeans in the training flew to San Francisco, New York.., some even flew back to Europe! They couldn't understand why I was desperately trying to go to Salt Lake City. Jazz were on a road trip but I had a plan. Then there was an option. Jazz were playing in LA agains Lakers. I went to LA for a day and my dream came true. To this day it was my only Jazz Game. No-one even understand why I did not stayed there longer and didn't go to Hollywood, sightseeing etc. But I did not care. All I wanted from LA was seeing my Jazz, the team, that my dad agreed to pay for taxi, even though he wasn't sure if the people from the bank would knock on our door at the end of the month. All I want to say; Jazz will, of course loose players and sign other players. I will cheer for those, who are there(I cheered for Raul Lopez!) If Hayward wants to leave, its ok. I identify my self with Jazz, it is a part of me, it is part of my growing up. I feel Hayward disrespected the Jazz with the way he left and I will boo him if he plays against us,even through a monitor and just by myself. GO JAZZ! (sorry for my bad English)

In before Celtics won't pay Thomas and trade/get someone else (AKA go after Westbrook).
 
Hayward does owe Chris Haynes and Sam Amick an apology. He drug their names through the mud all day when they clearly had it right, he clearly had made a decision.

I wonder if those boos he got when he was drafted got taken to heart..and stayed in his subconscious.

If that is the case then wait until he gets booed in Boston and the media is on his ***. Boston fans and media, next to New York, can be brutal. Beside the fact he now has to compete with the Red Sox, Patriots, and Bruins for attention. If his wife hates cold weather, Boston isn't the place for her.

Enjoy flying across the country to visit your home in CA.

Gordon will crumble under the spotlight if he can't handle a few fans booing him.

I hadn't thought of that. It looks like the "It's about me" tour has helped Goldie make some new friends. Haynes and Amick will for sure remember how that went down. And so will Woj, and espn, when they realize the player lied to them just so he could "break the news" on the competitions web page.

Trashing relationships with at least three national writers is a great way to start out in Boston.

Add them to the pile of people Goldie ran over on his way out.

He has more than a few apologies to make. The way he handled it so that he could get a damn social media post out was ****ed up. He really is starved for attention and is coming off like a true diva.

Wonder if Locke will roast him or if he still kisses his ***. I may not be able to listen to him pucker up to Gordo
 
I think the worst part about Hayward to Celtics is think leaving for Boston was part of the plan for a while now. Even had the Jazz taken the Warriors to 7 games, I think still leaves. He didn't want to be here anymore.... there just isn't a more simple way to look at it. He's probably a good dude overall, but he's also a little bit of a douche imo.

This has made me mad for years, and I think it contributed to Goldie's mental instability. Locke, nor any other local media guy ever said a critical word even when it was deserved. It never made sense to me because Goldie shut them all down, wouldn't do interviews or come on their shows, but still they pandered to him.

That's the really annoying thing here. At least Paul George nicely told Indiana he was leaving. A year ahead of time. Which is at least how long Hayward knew he was going to Boston.
