Thoughts on Gordon Hayward's new contract

[HurricaneDij39]

Jazz matched 4-year, $63M offer sheet to Gordon Hayward - CBSSports.com

Personally, I think the Jazz should have swallowed their pride and let Hayward go to the Hornets. Accept that you're rebuilding. To me, they've committed to mediocrity with this deal considering the strength of conference. Even though Hayward is from Indiana, this contract is asinine.

Thoughts?

I agree totally.

They offered him 4 yr/48 I believe at first so no way in hell am I giving you 15 more & nearly 4 mil more yearly.

BYE BYE

Totally nuts

That's a lot of money for what he has accomplished thus far.

But it is Utah, and he is white.

Owners make moves to reign in salaries then offer contracts like this. Makes sense.

Looks like quite a bargain now. He's a better player than Parsons.

It's weird when I agree with you...
