Jazz Plan To Match All Offers For Hayward


Recommended Posts

Mark Bartelstein — Hayward’s agent — told The Tribune that the two sides "have good intentions," and that he looks forward to speaking to Lindsey in hopes of getting a deal done. Salt Lake Tribune

Sources tell The Salt Lake Tribune that the Jazz will tier the available free agents, have conversations and see where there is a common interest. But at the top of the priority list is Hayward, the best all-around player on the team. While the former Butler star will have significant interest on the market, Lindsey has said for two months that the Jazz plan to match whatever offer comes his way. Salt Lake Tribune

It doesn't look like the Jazz are bluffing.

Not surprised to see a rumor that they will match any offer for him. He's a good player. They are build a talented team, and keeping hold of Hayward helps them in that regard.

Trey Burke had a good rookie season, and they have just drafted Dante Exum who could play SG. They could form a decent backcourt duo. Hayward can play SG if they want to keep Exum on the bench, or he can play SF if Exum starts. Then they have Favors who can play PF or C. They have Kanter for C.

So they have some talented players to build around, and an ambitious new head coach. I think keeping Hayward will be good for them, but also good for other teams like us so we don't over pay him.

I dont want to overpay for anyone not an all star level today.

I am confused by the "good I dont want Heyward!" Guys.. Who then say we need to overpay for Deng, who is inj prone n 30... Lance, who avged 14 ppg and was THE major reason Indy collapsed n became awful toward the end of the season fighting teammates for personal numbers.

We gotta overpay for someeone! I just rather it not be someone 30 and we are stuck with that contract or a locker room cancer guy like Lance.

we need another shooter at sg/sf.  

 

PJ has a NBA size body right now and could contribute a lot this year.  
 

His time in the D League and this summer will really help him adjust.  I'm not

saying he's gonna light it up every game, but he'll be pretty good by the end of

the season, imho.  

 

I think the other guy we need is a shooter at SF, sort of the opposite of MKG so we

can play both depending on the game situation

Really!?!? You blame Stephenson who was having a supreme amount of success until Evan Turner was acquired.

Not to mention the first game against the Heat, Stephenson and the Pacers went off... and guess who wasn't playing that game (spoiler: Evan Turner).

Anyone with an ounce of knowledge of the Pacers situation would understand that Turner was the reason that team self-destructed. It wasn't a coincidence that the Pacers declined as soon as they traded Granger for Turner and it wasn't a coincidence that Philly actually got better (as a team) after they traded Turner.

But you know..... facts..... who needs them.

This is a fact! Also no coincidence that the Pacers want Stephenson back, but make no qualifying offer for Turner. They don't want Turner because he is flat out terrible

    • Where did I once say we should draft him because he's a projected Top 5 pick?   That's one of my many problems with you, your reading comprehension skills are very poor (and/or you just don't care to use your brain, one of the two).  I solely used that to point out that me pushing T-Mac isn't some absurd homerism, that at least I'm pushing someone who is deserving of a Top 5 draft pick. And despite me explaining it to you numerous times, you still seem to not grasp how QB's get placed in mock drafts vs draft grades.  They are treated entirely different in mock drafts to any other position, because of how teams generally treat them in the draft because of how important the position is. Literally any other position except QB, mock drafts generally follow draft grades with some team needs factored in.  But with QB's, draft grades are generally disregarded and they ALWAYS put a few QB's at the very top of the draft, because that's just usually what happens.  The exact same thing happened in 2022 with guys like Pickett and Willis widely being Top 10 picks in mock drafts, only for Pickett to fall to what, around 20?, and Willis going in the 2nd round (and even being the 3rd QB if I remember correctly too). The overwhelming majority of draft experts are saying there isn't a high first round grade on these QB's, but they still get mocked there because they're trying to predict how the draft will actually go. That's been my point the entire time, reaching for a QB in a bad QB draft when you have a roster as depleted of talent as ours, does not tend to work out well. And I've never said I'm not open to other players, I've very explicitly said that if a QB or DE stands out come draft time, I'm open to that discussion.  That I'd be open to Hunter as a CB but I prefer a WR over a CB at the top of the draft.  But we're also not talking about the 15th pick here where there could realistically be all sorts of possible picks to discuss.  With the first pick, there really would only be a small handful of options, T-Mac is head and shoulders above any other given our current roster and state of the franchise in general.
    • TMac is good, but he isn't pick 1 on a WR good.  Last year he would be below Nabers and Williams.  This year you could argue Hunter is the better WR.  WR at 1 better be a Calvin Johnson not a WR that disappears some games in college...
    • So because he's a projected top 5 pick he's should be the guy we draft.   Yet you say the other 2 QBs who are projected top 5 picks are not worth it because you think they aren't that good.   That's my problem with you. You just seem to only care about Tmac. I have yet to see you suggest anyone outside of Tmac. At least I'm open to other prospects.
