"Why Gordon Hayward Should Stay with The Utah Jazz" by David Locke

If we resign our FAs who in the world plays the 4 next season with Joe
 
It's kinda frustrating to me that BOS with all its picks and assets, has the opportunity to just walk in here and snatch Hayward away from us FOR FREE.


Basically just because Brad Stevens used to coach Hayward in College nearly 10 years ago.


It's maddening.

Quin and his staff did everything they could to help Hayward become an All-Star and be extremely efficient doing it. It was the Jazz that drafted Gordon rather than PG13 and it was the Jazz that taught him how to shave so he could land a dime piece like Robyn.

I think they could have any (good) coach and their chances would be the same. They aren't a Hayward contender cuz of Stevens, it's because they are the 2nd best team in the East.

He could push for a S&T to Cleveland or could go to the spurs if it was just about winning. Boston ain't nothing special as currently constructed. If anything, watching Chicago get fleeced by Minny for Butler is pretty telling of how serious Ainge is about winning now, which is what Gordon's after.

Sign and trade wont work if the team is over the cap right? Thats why the Kyrie/Hill rumor was debunked.
 
Second place in the East just means you are approx. 5th best team in the NBA.

As long as conferences are a thing, being 2nd best team in a conference matters much more than where you are in the entire league.

Being the next team up puts you in a position to capitalize on injury or a team disbanding (a very real possibility for Cleveland)

Then why were there rumours about him joining BOS even before BOS was the 2nd best team?
