Hayward was so ready to be a #2. I think as soon as he saw who Mitchell was he would happily become a quiet number 2 option who loves video games, basketball, banging his hot wife, and being disappointed at gender reveals.

Then you just imagine Hayward getting all of the Royce, Allen, etc. minutes. I think we are fighting in that top 3 of the West and feel like we have a team that can win a chip without making a big move.

Obviously I’m happy it all worked out. But there’s no way I can convince myself that Jazz Hayward wouldn’t be contributing on this team in a huge way. Mitchell was already drafted (and making a huge splash in SL) when he left.

It worked out okay for Jazz fans, Hayward is the one who must really regret the decision. I wish all parties could be happy.

You are right. On paper, non-severe injury Hayward would fit this team like a glove.

But I'm a big believer that everything happens for a reason. I always questioned Hayward's commitment to us long term and thus, getting a super committed charismatic Donovan was the anti-Hayward at the perfect time.

I think we would have been better last year with Hayward AND I think Mitchell would have got less minutes and touches and we wouldn't be quite as excited about him as we are now and he probably wouldn't have his own shoes and wouldn't have finished 2nd in rookie of the year.
