According to a GM, the Suns will do everything possible this summer to sign Gordon Hayward to an unmatchable offer sheet....
 
Unmatchable? Let'm do it.

By definition there is no such thing as an unmatchable contract for a RFA. In the right situation you could force a team to play luxury tax, but they always have the option to match. Vescey is an idiot.

You know what he meant. Sweet jesus. Hating for the sake of hating.
 
Unmatchable? Is that even possible? Irregardless there are two things worse than unmatchable contract 1- an untradeable contract and 2- an unwatchable contract.

May the force be with the jazz.
 
Eh. If they want to give him 14 per, great. Good for Gordon, good for the Suns. A match made in heaven. Fantastic. Hayward is a good player. He is by NO means irreplaceable, and not worth over paying. How did Gay's contract work out?

By definition, the home team can match any offer sheet an RFA signs. I'm not so sure the Jazz would want to risk hitting the luxury tax over maxing Hayward but at least they have the option. S&T's are more likely. Peter Vescey is an unrestricted free vagrant.
 
Hayward is probably my favorite player on this team, but in all honesty, I have a couple questions...do we really want to overpay him when we are likely to draft a stud and potential star at the wing?
 
P.V. got a scoop on a story like twenty years ago, and somehow he's managed to use that to leverage a job as a sports "journalist" since that time. I realize that sports journalism is one area that encourages speculation within its ranks, but he's no freaking Karnac. This guys just floats stuff that is either entirely fabricated or stuff someone said to him at a party when they were half-smashed and thinking to themselves: "Oh God, here comes that Vescey guy again... I'm gonna totally mess with him when he comes over here..." Either way I'd think there'd be an editor with some balls who finally say "Hey Peter, until you're willing to give us something that is actual news or can show that any of the rumors you'd like to print are substantiated by actually coming to pass we're going to have to put you to work selling ads. That's putting your bs to good use..."
 
I know that.. my point is that if they're willing to overpay him, let'm do it.

I never get the theory that in certain situations a team needs to overpay a player. A bad deal is a bad deal, simple as that. I remember when Joe Johnson signed his ridiculous contract in ATL and everyone said that ATL needed to overpay him to keep him. They couldn't have wanted to get out from his contract sooner.
