Hayward to Boston

[Coach Ellis]

Eh. He's a grown man with a family. If this is what he wants, then so be it. It's disappointing, but it doesn't change much for me as a Jazz fan right now.

DL effed up by not giving him the 5 year max coming off his rookie contract. Hayward has bet on himself repeatedly and come up a winner. This time, he made an emotional decision highly influenced by one of the most important people in his life. Unfortunately, I think it was the wrong decision. I don't think Boston does anything of significance over the next 4 years, while the Jaxz will be fighting and clawing their way through the bloodbath of the Western Conference. Best defensive center in the game right now and a lunch-pail, go to work mentality.

Hopefully, the players respond appropriately and the front office buckles down and figures out how to continue to make this team a contender. Now, more than ever, the Jazz need to adopt a 2004 Pistons mentality. Us against the world and we're not going to back down an inch.

This whole situation was stupid as ****. He knew where he was going and still ran us along.

Thanks for the years but I hope you fail.

**** you bitch

"using your expiring assets to add depth to the squad rocks the boat too violently and may destroy our delicately balanced beamed cakk bakk" - me

 

[Jazz Traveler]

I want Rudy to spike Hayward's shot right in his mouth so hard it comes out Hayward's ***. Am I a bad person?

What a kick in the teeth.

Depressing as hell to spend all these years developing Hayward and lose him for nothing.

 

[Hekate]

Still needed several hours to produce that masterpiece. POS.

**** Player's Tribune tbh. All the panic they had when the news were leaked because they thought people wouldn't read Gordon's ****ty article.

And all the ****ing cliches.

 

[Krakdol]

That's so sad and frustrating... Boston is far from contending either so why do that to the team ?

Everybody treated him so well. He was a hero. That's heartbreaking.

Didn't even say he liked the mountains smh

Kanter > Hayward

So looks like Hayward was lying about being undecided. They even went so far as to feed false information to Woj about it being down to Utah/Boston, so that it looked like he was actually going through a deliberation process today. He had his mind made up at least since yesterday, but honestly it was probably well before that.

I think his wife didnt like Utah and wanted to go back east.

I was thinking the same thing. Met her once under the esa during a game and she seemed pretty damn miserable.

Once a bitch, always a bitch.

 

[dong2ha]

he just want to be an all star. that's it.

 

[Elizah Huge]

I couldn't even read all the way through it. He seriously waited a few hours so he could write this? For a damn article? Are you ****ing serious?

Never imagined the day that Fleeward would make me forget about Fisher and Kanter.

I also think part of the decision comes down to the impossibility of him being an all star in the west with butler and George in the conference now. He can easily be all star and all nba in the east.

 

[ijazz]

You guys still in love with Dennis Lindsey?

Hayward should be here for at least another year. We could have had Paul George.

Terrible.

Locke mentioned that 2 weeks ago when he seemed to be greasing us for him leaving.

The low ball RFA offer really stuck in Haywards ***.

And you are correct, that is the only reason he was an UFA this year.

This is on DL.

Hayward worked his *** off and gave us everything.

I'm not cheering for him OR booing.

 

[jom2003]

I bet he gets moved by Ainge in three years to make room for Tatum and Jaylen Brown

 

[Shad]

He obviously told someone before the last couple hours that he was leaving. There's no reason Otto Porter would have flown in if we knew Gordo knew he wasn't sure. I'm sure he told them last yesterday it was his time to go but still wanted to at least see what they had to say. Sorry guys, he gave 0 indication that he ever wanted to be here (Mack, Whithey, Hill, everyone else did however), his body language at the end of game 4 clearly gave it away that he was out the door. If there's smoke, there's always a fire.... even if we don't want to believe it

Yes, I'm still in love with Dennis Lindsey. Until he leaves us for New York or wherever.

Huh. If Lindsey did his job, Hayward would be under contract for another year.
