What's new

Jazz have a game in less than an hour (UTA @ OKC)

Uhh. Defense? And the Jazz aren't building an entire offensive system around Favors?

Exactly. Big Al was a scorer, but offered little on the other end. Favors will make his money on defense. If he can also get 15/12 without really having a lot of plays run for him, that's fantastic. I'm not worried about his FG% right now. It will improve as he keeps working on his offensive game.
 
Lol @ post-game quotes rolling in: "so tired of losing" ... get used to it fellas! You have about 60 more where these came from.
 
Kanter and Hayward will share the load of scoring naturally and he's gonna score of put backs and PnR baskets. Everyone knows he has got the contract of 49 mil dolar for his defense and rebounding. So i feel he's not kind of someone who complains about his role.


This might be what makes the contract end up being a good one.
 
I won't be tired of losing until the Jazz have a two game gap for the worst record heading into the last game of the season.
 
Think its asinine that most people are / were cool with the Favors overpay but now want to skimp on Hayward, who has clearly been the best player this preseason and seems on the brink of a breakout season. Now we get cheap? Pay the guy, its a 4 year contract at worst a million a year over what it should be.

Which is why Hayward won't sign an extension.
 
If he doesn't sign he runs the risk of getting hurt and missing out on all of his dough. There's a deal to be made, so just make it, ffs.

You can't plan for something like that, specially given that he doesn't have a history of serious injuries. I personally would hold out, as I'm sure would most others. Even if he loves the Jazz and wants to stay for a little less, it makes more sense to wait till the end of the season, since I'm sure chances are his value increases. It's always good to have leverage.

It's like fire insurance. You can't plan on it happening, but it could... I'm not an actuary but is the risk worth an xtra million a year? I don't think a good agent would advise a holdout if there's a decent deal on the table.
 
I'm not tired of losing.

It will be nice when it actually counts.
