I will one up you by saying I wanted George in the draft and I wanted Kawhi > Burks the next year.I was pining for Paul George in this draft, and I'll be honest here, I don't often pine...

You also thought Hayward was an awful pick, and at the time of the pick, thought the short list had to be George, Luke Babbit and Ed Davis.
Why can't Stuart Scott die in a house fire already.
Bad ***, maybe.If we're in the spirit of retrospectively flaming people for bad posts...
Frankly I know I was very vocally against Whiteside over the last couple of weeks, but at least he has a tiny chance of being great. I just think Hayward is out of the league in three years. He's our Joe Alexander.
KOC saying that Hayward is better than Wes Johnson says a lot about our GM....
The only truly stupid thing is pretending that you can project NBA players with any level of confidence. GM's and scouts have access to knowledge and data that we could only dream of and still get it wrong most of the time. I've always chuckled at guys who take themselves so seriously that they think they can project players. Whether that's draft picks or guys like Exum. Nobody knows for sure and YOU definitely don't (speaking of whoever is saying they do).If you wanted proof that collectively, we're a bunch of idiots, this thread is it.
And neither Hayward nor George led their teams to a championship nor remained with them.
This is beautiful.
Uhh, he is going to be on the next Team USA most likely (if he recovers from the injury to his former level). He was a really great player, the Jazz just took a very slow rebuild path and got unlucky with some draft decisions (Kanter, Burke, and Burks being varying degrees of ineffective towards the grand scheme on winning) and the wrong decision on Millsap. If the Jazz build around a Hayward/Favors/Millsap core and don't **** up the Burke draft, then the whole outlook on his tender here is probably pretty different, even if he still left.I'll be honest, even though Hayward was much better than I thought he was going to be, I never fell in love with him. I always thought some measure of his popularity had to do with how he looked. The Madame and I only referred to him as "Elder Hayward." I barely feel like he was important to the franchise's history. He was our best player during our most sustained period of mediocrity in my lifetime.
Last summer I was honestly perplexed that the whole NBA world was in stasis waiting for a guy who has a 0% chance of EVER making Team USA.
I'm already way higher on Mitchell than I ever got on Hayward over seven years.
