Locke interviews Hayward

Seriously uncomfortable listening to Locke slobbering over him and trying to be his friend. "G"... lol

The two don't click, for sure, they never have. I know Lockes questions can be awkward, but I don't know if Hayward makes it any easier, he is pretty stand off and kind of a jerk with the other reporters I've heard him with.

Where does Gordo fit? Not a perimeter stopper. Probably not a legitimate second option (I have more confidence in Alec filling a 6th man role than Gordo filling any on-ball role). He's an average spot-up shooter, good fastbreak leader and team player. On a team with legitimate offensive hubs, you can get 90%+ of Gordo's production for much less than $12mm. If Gordo can be moved for picks at $12mm, I suppose signing him doesn't hurt, especially if it's on a 4-year (offer sheet) deal, since any incoming rookies won't have extensions that kick in until Gordo's contract expires. If Gordo's filling a role that warrants that kind of money, the Jazz are going to continue to stink.

This is pretty much the gist of it. Hayward isn't going to interfere with anything at just 4 years. Having just turned 24, he might still have one breakout season left like Derozan showed this year. Its a gamble you have to take. You never know if this could be the norm.

So what do you propose we pay a 3rd option? Look around the league and see what most 3rd options get paid. For instance OKC. Who is their 3rd best player and what do they pay him?

So, I think it's safe to assume that Ibaka is the third option, and he makes 12.5 million a year

But he is a rim protector

$63mm?


If you have two players worthy of the max, isn't an actual knock-down shooter or perimeter stopper more valuable than Hayward? Can't those players generally be had for less?

If you're paying your top 4 ~$60mm, as you've suggested, you're left with ~$20mm under the tax to add ~10 players. That's not much.

It make might sense to match an offer sheet that pays Hayward $12mm per year, but I find it hard to believe he'll be worth nearly that much on a good team.

What role(s) do you see Hayward filling on a team with 2+ better on-ball players?

I get what you are saying here, but who are you going to sign with that money that is better than Hayward? What two players will fill the overall contribution that Hayward gives us for less money?
 
I think 4 years 45 mil. is fair market for Hayward. Same as I thought last summer. This puts him on par with Demar DeRozan, Nic Batum and Steph Curry.
 
Apples to apples pease

Yes because it is obvious that ibaka is being paid for his offense. Oh my you must know this is a ridiculous comparison

And how many nba players can do what Hayward does for a team?

It depends on which Parts you mean. Jordan Crawford could do the assists, poor shooting and turnovers at a fraction of the cost. Hayward is really similar to igoudala minus the elite defense.

All that said we need him for next year because we don't have any depth. I have not looked into the free agent market but what kind of depth could we expect to sign.
