Gordon Hayward to visit Hornets next week.

[carpanfan96]

They're gonna match FYI

Tons of cap

I'm not sure about that, I think they were playing chicken and didn't think he would get a max.

Bingo.

Yes. Jefferson is making $13.5M per year. Neither Hayward or Stephenson should've gotten that much. You could've definitely gotten Stephenson for $10 - 11M.

If we have to trade henderson and somebody else then it's really only a net gain of around 5 million in salary.

I don't like it either salary wise but the beauty of being a fan is you can rationalize offseason moves to remain optimistic.

[WOW!!]

Dam!! He isn't worth the Max.

Kemba is worth more then Hayward and he is up next.

Ohhhhhh I don't know about this.

Charlotte offer sheet for Gordon Hayward expected to include player option on fourth year, and a trade kicker, league sources tell Yahoo.

A trade kicker increases player salary if the player is traded btw. We are calling Utah's bluff, lets see if they are serious about matching a max.

good points guards are easy to find nowadays.  players that can play three positions (1-3) and do pretty much everything pretty well aren't as easy to find.  hayward is much more valuable than kemba.  even if kemba is the "better" player

And don't forget that the salary cap will likely be rising substantially in a couple of years after the new tv deals are inked.

If Kemba only did 1 thing I would agree with you but Kemba scores more is the trigger man on offense also is the steals leader and rebounds great for a PG. He is worth more i'm sorry.

great, A+ analysis.

Jazz prepared for possibility of max sheet for Hayward and remain unwavering about revelation it's coming: They plan to match and keep him.

It will take more than Henderson. It would have to be Henderson *or* MKG + whatever else not named Vonleh. 

[WOW!!]

Ohhh that is a lot of money for somebody who has avg. As many points a game as Hendo.

i love kemba too.  but hayward is a true playmaker.  again he can play PG, SG (primarily), or SF for us.  this dude can shoot the rock and knows how to create for others.  in a league where good sg's are almost impossible to find hayward is extremely valuable.  there are like 20 quality PG's in the league right now.  hayward would thrive here as the second or third option.  he's not a great defender but steve clifford's brilliant team defense tactics would shade those concerns and he would be absolutely ideal for us on offense.  he would allow kemba to play off the ball a bit and he can dish the rock to big al and our two new young bigs.  kemba is really growing as a passer but after losing mcbob we need another guy that can distribute the rock, hayward can do it.  i don't want to turn another thread into a kemba debate, but i definitely think hayward is a more valuable player in today's nba than kemba.  i love both players.
