Jazz match offer sheet on Gordon Hayward

[Chuckie]

Cho is 5 moves ahead.  If we'd have gotten Hayward that was plan A.  Plan B is to force the Jazz to pay him the max so when their up and coming shooting guard Alec Burks is a RFA next year we offer him a big deal and they can't match it.

 

 Yes, your thinking like someone in the front office.  It's not just about this year its about how to hamper the competition next year.

They'll still have 20 m in cap space next off season.

Lol we already did something stupid and that was offer him the max. Can't get much stupider. 

Was it really that stupid since Utah matched?

I really hope we don't overpay Wade out of desperation, wouldn't mind taking a cheap flyer on Evan Turner though, he wasn't that bad in Philly and the guy was a top5 pick

It wasn't dumb. Obviously they match a 12 or 13 mil a year offer. So we went for it and with the stipulation that he is here or there. The no trade clause keeps him out of the east. Good move with either outcome.

D.J. trashed the organization when he left.

He can kick rocks.

Didn't we all trash the Bobcats at some point? This is the Hornets.

Fair enough. Even B.J. Mullens had a few not nice things to say about us.

I do feel sorry for Gordon Hayward, though. Stuck in Utah. Restricted free agents that get matched by teams they don't want to be with are basically being told, "We own you."

He wanted to be in Utah. We were his second choice. They told him to go found an offer and he did. He used us for max money.

You're wrong about him "wanting" to be in Utah.

 

Of course he was trying to get paid, and the Hornets helped him do that. 

 

I think he was resigned to the fact that he would end up back in Utah, but I believe what they were saying in the Bonnell article about how he really wanted to play with Al in Charlotte.

Link?

[Omega Atrocity]

I feel confident in saying he would've rather played here. But he is a class guy, I'm sure he has nothing negative to say about staying there. That $16 million/year doesn't hurt either.

hinrich & morrow..that's who i want now

 

that would be a nice combo. 

 

morrow is lights out from 3.

No one is surprised, time to go after Stephenson.
