Welcome Back Gordon Hayward

[jimmy eat jazz]

"I think the commitment shows how much the Jazz believe in me, and what they think I mean to their franchise. That’s a really good feeling for me, knowing that they stand behind me. To be able to play there at least another three or four years and be one of their centerpieces is something I’m looking forward to."

Anyone concerned about this comment? I'd expect somewhere in the blog for him to say he wants to play a long time in Utah, help win a championship, etc. He doesn't. Jazz need to Kevin Love him in 2 years.

I swear, people deconstruct athletes' statements more than the most ardent Bible fanatic tortures over interpretations of Bible verses. There is not hidden sub-text in every statement. Sometimes, things are as simple as they appear to be.

Sports fans are so silly at times. So Hayward's greedy for doing what nearly anybody else would do--maximize their income if such is possible? He played squarely within the rules and played them perfectly. I think this should engender more admiration than hate.

So, Kanter28, if your boss offered you a crapload of money more than you're currently making, even if you down inside felt you might not be worth it, you'd turn it down?

Join what the rest of us call the real world pal.

But what you dont realize is that if i was a big fan of whatever kanter28 does for a living and he got a huge payday that he didn't deserve then i would be telling kanter 28 that he better perform at his job much better now or i will be hating on him.

I know right? If people used the same amount of scrutiny with the Bible they would realize Jesus was a gold digging lesbian just like his dad. Amirrrrite?

Welcome back you money hungry, Honda Civic driving, Olive Garden eat'n, Subway couponing, wide open corner three missing, maxed out kinda bawler. Now live up to at least half of that contract and maybe you won't get booed.

For the first time ever, I'm going to write a post as if it was actually going to be read by the player I'm talking about:

Gordon,

You signed a trade kicker with Charlotte, braugh? You ****ing serious? You'll be rich as ****, but you better thank your lucky stars that the Utah Jazz matched and saved you from being stuck in maggot-infested pile.

Now, despite the fact that you have some weird holes in your game (can't drive; can't shoot off the dribble), I actually like a lot of the things you do. Hi-five.

How the **** did you get a max contract? Why the **** did you marry an eighteen-year old just to get back at your ex-girlfriend? I'm much older than you, and I'd like to tell you to get over it and earn that check. I was mad when they matched and I'd like not to be.

Cheers,
NAOS

I would be happy too if I made 16 million after shooting .413 2pts and .304 3pts, I guess X-mas came early. I hope Gordon earns his money but I am not overly excited about the contract I will wish him well. I hope he can find his shot again.

Lulz. So many lulz.

Lulz. So many lulz.

As of this morning Gordon has the number 1 PER for all small forwards.

I wish thriller would come back so we could talk about this franchise crippling contract... And talk about how much better Lance Stephenson is and that Hayward is a role player who signed a MAX contract.

Has Thriller disappeared as a result of Hayward's recent game playing success?

Don't know... Just wish he'd come back and spew the Hayward hate.

 

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

He and other Hayward haters are just waiting for that one bad game that eventually everyone has before they show their faces around here. And for the record. I predicted this from Hayward even before the end of his rookie year. I just didn't know it would take this long for it to happen.

He only post in the college football thread.

Hayward is also tied for 2nd in "Value Added", only behind Anthony Davis.
