So do you take back all those things you said?
I've slept since then so not sure what you are referring to..
As to Hayward here are my thoughts.
1. Strange dude, introvert, very hard worker. LOVE his game.
2. Excels at Personal branding. I never thought he would get 2 Max contracts, ever
3. Love his play, wish he didn't tolerate getting punked by Baraetta and West.
4. I do not fault him for leaving Jazz. It is a business and he worked very hard for the Jazz. Few players get courted like he did and he enjoyed the process. For him that may be the only time in his career. It was awkward and he cost the Jazz about 3-4 hours because of his branding crap.
5. Still didn't think he had the balls to leave BUT since it is a business he has to take the consequences if he gets traded this summer for AD as is rumored (assuming he picks it up by playoffs)
6. I actually am NOT a fan of his branding crap and my personal theory is that is why he is not bonding with Celtics. In his min-series when he said he was pissed they were winning without him. Cool to think it, dumb as hell to say it.
Now, if I am Hayward because his 1st 2 years with C's are most likely a bust, IF he is smart he will opt out after year 3 and offer a huge discount to get more years in the league but, back to the business thing he may not get that chance.
I do not feel sorry for ANY NBA player, they are so Rich, none of them can relate to normal people. Some are cooler than others, but relate, no way....
