Hayward - after 2 more seasons can opt out - due to DL gambling and losing....

Good realistic non-god referential take on Hayward. It is what it is though, he's in our roster and I'm rolling with it. Just hope he becomes more consistent.

I also agree with LogGrad98. I see the determining factor for Hayward staying or going as how well this team develops over the next two years. I believe that that includes the continued development of Hayward. In other words how at that point how he sees his future with this team.

My point was rumor was Hayward wanted 4/50.

Rumor was that Gordon turned that down.

He then followed up passing on a huge extension by bricking a ton of pull-ups and being on a terrible team. The gamble was matching the offer sheet because he wasn't even close to worth that in the previous year. THAT gamble IS paying off.

The alternative is 3 years and he could leave. Not that big of a difference.

He is going to opt out and probably close to a max again. I don't see him not being a top 30 player in 2 years from now, which will usually get you somewhere in the veteran max range (he would still be young too).

17th highest scorer in the entire league without anybody to create shots for him = inconsistent go to guy. Makes sense.

Hayward will be better next year, putting up close to 22/5/5. I'm not worried about him at all.

If I were him, that would be the only reason to leave, to get to a contender. (Hopefully we are there by then and makes it a no brainer)

He might want to get to a big market and pile up endorsements that would make his salary look puny

I still think we overpaid for Hayward.

Approximately 30 general managers would disagree with that statement.

Derp. I'm gonna have another beer...

Yeah!


I don't think Hayward will leave. I think given the demographics of the area, what his wife looks like and what he likes to do, SLC is the perfect place for him.

I was pretty baffled with that post as well. Hayward has been a grand-slam for us this year.

Every single team in the NBA would love having Hayward on their squad. He has somehow pulled off respectable percentages on max-like numbers while playing with one of the worst SG AND PG rotations in the NBA. It's really quite remarkable.

I doubt we will see much statistical improvement. We are going ot have a healthy Burks and improved players across teh board. I think Hayward's numbers relatively stable for the next 2 years.

I want to know who these mythical more consistent players are? All player's in the league have off shooting nights. Hayward brings it in other area's of the game even when he is missing shots. Hell some of the best shooters in the league have horrible shooting nights. Some of them don't bring a lot to the game besides scoring. At the very least Hayward brings it on both ends of the court far more often than not.

I was on the we over paid for him train. I was wrong. He is now worth the contract and to think he should be more consistent to me is the height of having unrealistic expectations. Can he get better? Absolutely, especially with a little more help and improvement from the young guys. But don't expect him to eliminate off nights. That won't ever happen.
