He also said that Hill wants to be back and that the Jazz want him back which is obvious but maybe Hill will take a little less to stay. This was said on 1280 The Zone.

Hayward ain't going anywhere
 
At this point, I don't think even Hayward knows if he will stay or leave. It all depends upon the offers.
 
I don't even know who Steve Kyler is. The more time has gone on the more I think he stays. I think, surveying the landscape, nothing really offers greener pastures that doesn't have some serious question marks and risks associated with it. I only see Boston as a possibility but I think he's looking to finally rise with a team (as we're doing) rather than roll the dice on "yeah we could be pretty good in a few years" with another team -- he's already gone through that here.

We already know what the offers will be though.
Jazz will offer the max with an extra year and more money.
Other teams will offer the max.

Hayward chooses the more money with the jazz.

I really feel the home-team advantage with the CBA is really overblown, even for the super max. It always looks like a lot more money by counting the last year that most players are going to opt out of anyway. The difference based on the % yearly increases ends up being negligible. That said, I think he stays.
 
If he does leave, I hope he goes to an up-tempo system. I would love to watch him play that way.

Truth is, no matter where he goes, I'm rooting for him. He's a stud.

I agree except th extra year gets dismissed sometimes and I don't think it should. Make it a player option and it is a huge injury insurance policy.

Unfortunately anything they do to change the hometown advantage could also be viewed as a hometown penalty unless the player is a super duper star.
 
Also, I'm always skeptical of basketball insiders guys... none of these guys are woj.

The Jazz sent Haywards daughter birthday balloons today. Trying hard to get that number to 70%.

If they'd have had Disney Princesses deliver them it'd be a done deal... rookie move Jazz... Just balloons?

Agreed.
Mo money still mo money doe
 
Nobody really knows anything at this point. So much has to be done prior to his decision. We have 4 draft picks, expiring contracts, guys on the last year of their deals, and some unanswered questions.

In my personal opinion, we need to make a pretty decent sized trade around the draft. We should use Favors, #24, #30, one or two of the 2nd rounders, and one of our firsts from next year. I would even consider trading Hood if the right deal made itself available. What I would target:

- Paul George (worth a shot but probably not happening)
- Jimmy Butler (worth a shot but probably not happening)
- Moving into the lottery (only worth dealing Favors and #24 if we have the perfect target)
- Evan Fournier from Orlando (he's on a long term deal making $17 per year). He would be a better fit long term than somebody like Ingles. He's on a cheaper contract than what Hood will probably get.
- Jabari Parker from the Bucks - they are set to have a $110million roster next season. However, we could trade with them around the draft to take on Parker and a bad contract. You never know...
- D'Angelo Russell from the Lakers - maybe we take back a contract like Deng or Mozgov. Hood, Favors, Diaw and picks maybe get it done. Russell and Exum long term with Hayward and Gobert.
- Rubio if we can get him cheap from Minnesota.
- Mo Harkless - they are miles over the luxury next year. If they trade him before July 1, they will avoid the luxury tax this year which they will definitely be into next year. They would avoid the repeat offender luxury tax so it saves loads of money this year and next. We would only do it if they added in a pick or two.
- Danny Green - you never know, they might actually be in the Chris Paul sweepstakes.
