Hayward & Jazz - not close to agreement (Hayward leaving 4/40 on the table)

Gameface negged me. LOL. I'm sorry. It was a harmless joke.

It's lame. It's racist. I'm super tired of that particular joke.

Sorry if that hurts your feelings. Feel free to neg me back.

It's also a pretty ****ing stupid thing to believe.

Locke said yesterday that he has heard from reporters around the country who he thinks have a very accurate source, that Hayward's camp is asking for a 4 year/$50 million ($12.5 MM/year). I hope Locke is right and I'm glad Hayward really wasn't holding out and demanding something $13MM or more.

That is 1.2m per less than the max to start, and the max would go up each year at 7.5%, so that is significantly less than the max that we keep hearing Hayward is talking about. That makes me think they are going to settle in the middle, about 45 or 46 million for 4 years.

Racist? LOL. Your dumb.

What is racist about what I wrote? Did Ostertag and AK prohibit the Jazz from getting an additional piece that could of helped them win a title? Yes.

Were they white? Yes.

If the Jazz give a decent role player a max deal could he potentially prohibit the Jazz from winning a title? Yes.

Is he white? Yes.

Also, look at other players the Jazz have overpaid: Harpring. Okur.

Huh. Interesting.

I'm not racist. The joke wasn't racist. You decided to find offense where none was intended.

So it wasn't a joke. You truly believe the Jazz make personnel decisions based on skin color. What a dumbass.

Yep. Something that has been so completely untrue, yet people like green really believe. If only it wasn't for white people and the Jazz organization's love of them we would have multiple championships by now.

I would be totally fine with Hayward getting a max contract.



If he puts up 18 points, 7 assists, and 6 rebounds with 50% shooting this season.

Make it 20 points and add 1.5 steals and 1 block per game and I'm on board.

I think 18 ppg is attainable, everything else...unlikely.

Funny that now jazz fans are seeing Hayward as I have all along but yet some here call me an idiot.. Everyone always denys and kicks a guy who is smarter then them.

Well...even a broken clock is right twice a day.

 

[Stoked]

Well...even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Except that coloradojazz is still wrong.

Jazz know what they have (and don't have) with Hayward. Known Quantity.

That's just a stupid argument coming from you. Hayward isn't worth 10 million being the player he has been, so if he doesn't get better, you can't possibly justify this $13 million-max money that you're flicking your bean to.
