This is the kind of stuff that makes me want to turn away from the NBA. 63 million for an above average player, what a joke.

Jordan better hope that Utah matches to save him here, this is a big mistake. Hayward isn't the piece to put the Hornets over the top and that is too much of a commitment to a player like him.

I think Heyward is a very good peice for them.  They needed shooting and somebody who can score and that's what they get.  Also, Hairston is going to be good (if you can keep him out of trouble).

So he will play for Hornets or Utah next year

He's not leaving Utah. They have said all along they would match any offers for him.

He's a good piece but they're paying him like he's a star (he's just not that).  I'm not real sure how good a shooter he is.  He certainly had a very down year last season.  That deal for that player essentially ensures a ceiling on the success they can have IMO.

 

Also, there's no way they're keeping Hairston out of trouble so ...

> 15 Million per year for Heywood????  No thank you!

[Afro]

I remember talking about getting him cheaper because of his season last year.

Ha. That didn't happen lol

[Afro]

Now this is interesting on the Lance front. If he truly is cheaper would you take him?

We're looking at a huge gap between he and parsons/monroe and if this market holds up Deng might get 12 mill

[Alex]

Yikes that's almost 16 million a season.

This just means Deng will command more as well. Not good for us

Awful deals like this impact everybody.  Can't imagine the agents for Deng, Stephenson, Ariza, etc. (who've all proven more on the court than Hayward) looking at this deal thinking their client should get less.

 

Probably strengthens pull of teams like LA, Dallas and others who have the space to offer max deals without roster manipulation.

[Afro]

Well the more they spend on players that's don't "deserve" it, the less they have to spend on players that do.

[IBelieveInFerry]

This is just an expensive year!

That's like paying Joe $20+ mil - who'd do that - oh wait.....the ASG?

It's not a matter of the ASG not spending the money, it's a matter of spending the right amount of money for the right players.
