I don't hate Hayward. I'm super disappointed and feel betrayed. Rudy, on the other hand, is showing us where his loyalty is. Underestimate Rudy Gobert at your own peril.
We don't burn this thing down because Hayward bailed. We keep building, but we build around RUDY with Ricky and Donovan as key players (yeah, it's early but I have a hunch about the kid). Rudy is the face of the franchise now; the guy who uses being passed over for awards and accolades as fuel for his fire. Rudy has Jazz DNA...Hayward doesn't. NBA accolades or not, Rudy becomes a legend. Stockton. Malone. Gobert.
