How does Hayward benefit from being a member of the Jazz this season?

[LogGrad98]

Does that make Corbin the leader by default?

I have a fear that is the only way he would be the leader.

I could see leadership idenity issues developing.


Hayward will try but be too soft and they won't follow.

I think Hayward will be a leader in the vein that Stockton was--a soft, yet fierce example.

Burke will try but he won't be playing well enough and will be too young.

Agreed.

Then Kanter will try but they won't understand him or take him seriously.

haha

Favors will speak to softly from the bench after fouling out so they won't hear him.

pure comedic truth!

Burks will dominate again and will go unoticed again.

Agree he will dominate, but believe this is the year he will be acknowledged. Don't think he's a leader though, just a very, very special player.

I don't trust Jazz management. It seems that they are more focused on bringing in draft picks and younger players with minimal NBA experience than keeping vets like Hayward and Favors long term.

As evidenced by the fact the Jazz were discussing extensions with both players? Yep, that definitely says to me that both will be traded for whatever the Jazz can get.

It is their master plan. Buy high and sell low. It's how all the cool teams are doing it. You don't wanna be a square do ya?

Leadership will not be just the problem for Hayward but for the other players too. Due to experience, role and potential, easy to guess the name of Hayward but someone among the youngsters can appear and become the true man. So no need to panic and press on him. Just check it out and enjoy the situation.

The other core 4 members get more playing time while Hayward is supposed to be a leader on this team which is not in his nature to be and he can't handle the pressure. He also has to deal with all the losing which he can't handle. If Hayward was really being honest he would say that he would have loved to have Big Al, Millsap and Mo back to guarantee at least a 41 win season compared to the mess that they're about to experience. He will probably be traded by the deadline along with Favors since the idiots at Jazz managemet will try to help another team's chances of making the playoffs.

All you do is whine about the teams decision not to stick with our already proven as not good enough FA's. Get a new shtick that one is tired.

I will just refer you to the Laker game in his rookie year. He made play after play. He was the focus of the offense and the focus of the Lakers defense. What he did then wasn't possible in the heavy laden Al Millsap offense. This year I see him getting 18-20 points a game 4-5 assists 3-4 boards.

This is one of the most ignorant posts I've ever read on jazzfanz. The jazz org. knows him a hell of a lot more then you do.

That game!!!
Remember those brilliant passes to Favors.
Defending Kobe all game. Kobe begging for a foul after Hayward's steal.
Unexpected 4th qtr dunk on a drive...
Jumping awkwardly at 7AM. (I'm Turkish)
Oh I want to watch that game one more time...

Hahaha. This entire offseason has been about Hayward, Favors, Kanter and Burks. The FO is giving them a chance to prove that the Jazz can build a team around them. Wether they succeed will remain to be seen.

I agree with most of what the OP is stating except I really can't see Hayward pulling a bitch-fit with the coaches/Front Office like Deron did. He's too nice/mature of a guy to do that...
