Locke interviews Hayward

[Beantown]

A somewhat interesting interview. Only three tidbits to mention that I noticed:

1. Hayward is happy Corbin is gone but trying to be respectful

2. Hayward also seems to be hesitant to referring to himself as still part of the Jazz

3. Locke is like an annoying/desperate school boy who wants Hayward to be his BFF.

Right now I kind of doubt that Hayward will be with the Jazz at the start of next season even with DL's pronouncements.

Wow, that interview made my ears bleed. You were right Bean, Locke is an annoying little schoolgirl. Talking about traffic in the Philippines and Hayward's fiancee's "American Beauty." Embarrassing.

Based on what? I don't think any one will offer him the max, even if his play was largely based on poor team offense. Other teams will be hesitant. I'd be really surprised if the Jazz let an asset like him slip away for a few extra million. I'd bet they match anything up to 13-14M, and I don't see any teams that will offer him more.

Typical Haywad. Pleasant, but meh. Just like his game.

Pretty funny, even if I disagree and see him making you eat crow when he's put back into his traditional role.

Mind giving a quote or paraphrasing? I'm not listening to a Lockecast...

Owners have repeatedly Shown that they are stupid and unable to control spending. This summer is going to be full of overpaid FA. The majority of teams ran conservative budgets the past two years, but now the cap and tax line are jumping up 5 million and everyone has eyes towards that new tv deal. Hayward will get paid way more than he is worth.

IMO the jazz missed out by not being ready to sign discounted FA last summer. It willbe a few years before discounts are available again.

"It's a trip to the Phillipines on the NBA, I couldn't pass it up."

Hayward is so cheap, his apartment fridge isprobably full of ketchup packages.

I'd bet they match anything up to 13-14M.

So you betting on Jazz massively overpaying? That would be worse than AK's contract to be honest. I doubt Lindsey is that stupid.

Ketchup packets and saltines..... The interview was embarrassing enough for the listener. I can't imagine how Hayward felt. Locke needs to tone down that creepy I want to make a doll out of your discarded hair vibe.

 

[Jazz Spazz]

Thanks for the heads up... will not listen.

I'd say it is overpay but not massively. If Hayward is put into a role more suited for him than I'd say he is worth 11 maybe even 12 mil.
