What's new

STAYWARD

For me, I'm completely fine with whatever happens. If he stays.. great, if he goes.. great as well. Players come and go, only a small percentage of players are truly dedicated to their teams. John, Kobe, Reggie, Tim, Larry, Magic and so on. We still should be fine, believe in Rudy and our Jazz. :)
I feel this way too. I will have hate for Gordon and still have tons of excitement and hope for the Jazz team sans hayward
 
Seriously though, Gordon, if you are horrified at the leaking and media circus, you need to stay in Utah. This will be your new everyday reality in Boston. Utah media is pretty damn soft and will leave you alone.
 
They don't have to, but it could be in there interest to trade pieces to Utah just to assure those pieces dont have to be traded to other Eastern conference teams (since most trades partners are in the East, where teams have more cap-room to facilitate trades).

Though [MENTION=208]NUMBERICA[/MENTION] is probably right. Ainge is ruthless with assets, probably won't just give them to Utah just to assure they play in the West and not against them. Will look for value over strategic movement.
 
If it's a sign and trade you dolt.

They dont have to do a sign and trade though. They can fairly easily clear space without one.

Only reason to do it is is to keep the pieces they do have to dump to make space for Hayward away from the Eastern Conference.
 
The sad thing is I was beginning to try to come to terms with the fact that he actually left. Then to find out ESPN got trolled was hilarious. Now I have hope that he is actually staying. What a **** show, circus, roller coaster ride, etc. The only thing he can do to save face now is stay.

Either way I'm going to the Celtics game with a sign that has a poop emoji. The only question is wether that sign will have a clover or if it will have a clover and the number 20.
 
I actually want him to go now. This is classless, diva bs.

Staying should have happened quickly last night or this morning. The more he wavers, the more bye.

I like Jaylen Brown and our chances of 2019 contention just fine.

I would take any of the following for Hayward over losing him for nothing:

Brown
Crowder
Draft picks

All of those have value.

No way in hell they give us Brown, probably not Crowder either.

The best we could ask for is probably Bradley, who only has a year left on his contract.

I saw he left and was about to pack up to go for a hike then I saw the news that it wasnt true. Havent been able to stop refreshing twitter ever since. It sucks.
 
Hayward: OK, I'm like 90% Utah, but I just don't know about that last 10%.
Bartelstein: How about we float out that its Boston, see how that feels.
Jazz Twitter: time to F urself Hayward you f'n tool
Bartelstein: wow. They really hate you
Hayward: whoa, I gotta reconsider everything.
Bartelstein: OK, so first we met with Pat Reilly and Spoles--
Hayward: no, I mean EVERYTHING. Why are we here.

Hayward may have asked them to throw Utah a bone to help him feel less guilty about leaving us high and dry. Only reason to do it because he could get assets for both smart or crowder and they have to move someone of that salary.
 
I really think something else is going on here. The Jazz are exploring a trade or two that they discussed with Hayward and Hayward can't make his decision until that happens. In the meantime, this drama only serves to put pressure on the Jazz to give up another asset in a trade for whichever player is in play.

I really don't think Hayward is this mentally conflicted. That's just a cover story.

The Clippers got a 1st from Houston so I just don't know.

Bradley is a perfect fit and massive fan favorite. As is Crowder. Losing those guys for Hayward is a tougher sell.

I see Brown being expendable because of Crowder, Tatum and Hayward. You have two guys ready to play now and one to groom. Better than grooming 2 guys at the same position while trying to appease Hayward.

Smart makes the most sense for Boston because they can tell the fanbase they cant afford him next summer. Not sure I want Smart though...
