I know Hayward selling us out is ruining the holiday for some of you. Don't let let it. It's going to be alright, guys and gals.
We didn't lose a Karl Malone. We didn't lose a John Stockton. What we lost is more of a Jeff Hornacek - not a 1st option star, not a second option star - more of a player who's sandwiched between a third-best-player and second-best player.
The Celtics paid him over $31,000,000 a year. That's what a star should get paid. Hayward has averaged 20 PPG ONCE in SEVEN seasons.
Despite the rising cap, I see a lot of teams making stupid deals. Griffin, Millsap, Holiday, and others. They're paying way too much. These teams are going to be cap-crippled and we're going to sign others players for cheaper than they deserve because of cap flexibility.
Seriously - Holiday is set to make $10,000,000 more person season than Rubio. Think about that for a moment. That $10,000,000 difference is the same amount we signed Joe Jesus for.
Believe in DL - it's gonna be alright. We have Rudy - I'd rather lose three Haywards than one Rudy. Just sit back and enjoy the ride - it's gonna be fun. And don't be surprised when Mitchell makes us forget about that guy the Celtics signed.
