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

I don't see Hayward leaving unless the changes to the CBA make it so we can't pay him more.

Hayward has two all-star caliber players up front, a surprisingly shiny rookie at the deuce, and (hopefully) a growing starter at the 1. On top of that, he's got a mad-scientist coach and a system that helped to improve his overall game and he can make more cash here.

The only reason he leaves is because he hates the scenery. He's already tacitly stated he likes the Jazz when he said he took Kancer's remarks "personally".

Hayward was definitely worth every penny. It just sucks we couldn't dictate the terms and get that extra year. That extra year would have been huge, considering now we'll have to try to convince Hayward to stay the same year we are maxing Rudy, and deciding on Trey (Trey still has to prove himself, and hopefully we cab ink Rudy before Oct 30th so we aren't dealling with it the sametime we are dealing with Hayward). But, with the new CBA dollars being available, it is scary to think what those contracts will look like. The next year, we'll have Rodney, Derrick, and Exum to pay. Madness.

Even though we have some money this offseason, we need to be wise with it if we want to keep these guys together.
