Thank GOD for you. I’ve been saying this all along. This is 100% on Lindsey and the Millers. They are cheap and are more worried about profits than anything else.
Look at this from Hayward’s prospective:
You are drafted. You have Deron Williams, Andre Kirilenko, Paul Millsap and and Jerry Sloan. Jerry quits and Deron is traded for Derrick Favors and Corbin is hired over any other coach.
Your first offseason, the Jazz draft Kanter and Burks, instead of players like Klay Thompson, Kwahi Leonard, Jimmy Butler and Isaiah Thomas.
The next year you miss the playoffs, and the team decides to tank…but not tank. The Jazz let Carrol and Millsap walk for nothing (and Al Jefferson as well). They keep Corbin, who is trying to win games. The Jazz have two first round draft choices. Rumors are that the Jazz will draft Giannis and Gobert with their two picks.
Instead, they trade those two picks for Trey Burke. They drafted Trey Burke over Giannis, Gobert and CJ McCollum.
They then make the trade that allows GS the cap room to become GS. Back to deciding to “tank” but don’t do a very good job at it. Corbin is still trying to win games. They finish with the fifth pick in possibly the worst draft in the history of the NBA. They draft Exum.
The next draft they take “balance pro” Lyles over Booker.
Then they trade the #12 pick for George Hill over Jeff Teague. Teague is healthy for all 82 games and just signed for less than 20 million per year. Hill is hurt half the year and rumors are he wants to bolt.
Why would you stay with that team? The Jazz have been bumbling along for 7 years there. Never really committed to any course and getting lucky with Gobert.
The Jazz forked up big time here.
Imagine if they had fired Corbin early, kept Millsap and drafted better. This could be our team right now:
Jeff Teague, Hayward, Leonard, Millsap, Gobert. They could have Klay Thompson, Jimmy Butler, Isaiah Thomas coming off the bench or whatever.
Hell, if they hit on ONE of those picks, we are in a different position.
They Jazz haven’t drafted well. They haven’t traded for another star to pair with Hayward and Gobert (George was available and Utah did nothing). Snyder is a great coach. But what else have they done?
Boston has a great coach. They won a title when Hayward was in college. They get big time stars to sign as FA’s. They have top 10 picks and one next year. They were the #1 seed in the east.
Hayward would be a fool to NOT sign with Boston.
Oh, and I didn’t even mention the time Hayward was told by the Jazz that he wasn’t a max player and to go find a deal if he could and they’d match it.
Give me a reason why Hayward should re-sign with Utah?
The Millers have been screwing this fanbase over for years and the fans just blindly take it while throwing cash at the Millers. lol.
