Hayward agrees to sign


Recommended Posts

Who are we missing out on??

 

Well, we can't really make an offer to a guy like Lance Stephensen until we find out if Jazz are matching.

 

Basically any of the bigger free agents we may want to go after, we will have to wait and see what the Jazz do first

Exactly. Folks acting like there are just tons of guys out there waiting to be scooped up by the Charlotte Hornets. Even if Hayward just used us to pick up a max contract for the Jazz, this was the right move. If he's not a realistic target, get him off the board so we can move on. Nobody major is going to sign away until the big three decide what they're going to do. There's too much money out there right now and too few teams spending until they know what those guys are doing. We never had any false hopes of those cats coming here. We're attacking the next tier of guys.

The deal includes a player option in the 4th year

Along with a trade kicker. Hayward also cannot be traded in the first year without consent.

Keep in mind that on top of the money, the Jazz would also have to agree to these terms if they want to match.

Also it's good that this got done tonight because he has only agreed which means that we could still sign and trade for him. I have no doubt that our guys will be talking trade all day with Utah.

Henderson?.....

Woj reported that 5-7 teams called about a S&T for Gordon, but Charlotte hasn't even contacted them.

They aren't gonna S&T. I doubt Cho would even talk to them. It's put up or shut up for Utah.

It's not our place to call and ask about the sign and trade. We just want Hayward.

We put the ball in their court with this offer.

They very well could've been bluffing and may not want to match this, so their best interest would be to ask us for something in return for him.

Which is great for us because it gives us the amazing opportunity of clearing cap before he actually signs.

Cho is playing hardball and I love it.

The only thing Cho would offer is Henderson.

Worst case scenario, if the Jazz match, we have at least sent the message to other FAs agents that we are open for business and willing to spend some serious dough.

 

Agents are going to advise their clients to listen if we come calling

No, Henderson is the only thing you would offer. We don't know what Cho would offer because we don't know who else Cho believes he could get if he secures Hayward.

 

All it takes is signing one big name and having the money to sign another one, and you'll get more interest from the other ones. What would you give up to accommodate a Stephenson or a Gasol if you're able to actually get Hayward, clear some space, and they all of a sudden show some interest?

 

That's how Cho is thinking. You're thinking like a fan, which means you're failing.
