Not sure why anyone thought or thinks Hayward will not opt out this next off season. There was never a doubt he would. The real question is if he walks away from a massive contract from the Jazz to take far less to go to a contender. I personally would be surprised at his age if he did that, especially based on the fact we will be a solid playoff team and still very young. There will be only a handful of teams that will be better off than us going forward. I doubt Cavs or Ws will have room to sign him, who else is left? Spurs? that might be it and they might not have room either. Unless you think Hayward is going give up 50+ mill to go to a different team which is unprecedented in the NBA.
Or I guess you could be in the Jazz shouldnt/wont resign him. But lets put that to rest. If Jazz have any doubt he will leave they will trade him at the deadline, I put the chances of this happening at next to none. Unless this team absolutely flops leading up to the trade deadline. If not they are maxing him and he is staying.
