We still have options even if Heyward doesn't choose us but I wonder why the Knicks tho?  They are far worst than we are and they are still rebuilding

Money.

[Vol4ever]

Maybe we get Gallo tomorrow.

He is a dang good player and if we continue to have this we aint gonna pay attitude nobody will come.  We are not getting any superstars now or later imo.  

Truth is....Hawks have an EXTREMELY clean cap sheet.  They can afford an overpay to get a legitimate player that will help them.  Especially when you consider that next season they will be competing against numerous teams with a ton of space for players.  This off season was the time to get a deal done, imo. 

[Jody23]

I think the Hawks go after Bogdanovic now that he's going to be a restricted free agent again.  I think they make an offer Sacramento won't match.

We could pay him but he says he needs to see us built a playoff level team.

Two things:

1) Would a playoff level team really be looking at signing Teague as their primary bu pg? 

2) This may be the first time he's ever displayed the kind of balls we always wished he would grow when he was here the first time.

I’m upset

I don't know why y'all would be in a hurry to overpay for a guy with the injury history of Hayward. I don't mind overpaying in general given our position, but not for Hayward. If New York is offering something significant better than us, they can have him.

I think as fans of this team, I am sick and tired of this crap all of the time.  I feel bad for Supers right now as well.  I just cant believe that he would go to a team like that at all.

We might be in for a L. Gordon Hayward agency has changed the font on his website to Knicks Orange: http://www.gordonhayward20.life/

Our pumpkin patch wasn't sincere enough. The Great Pumpkin is going elsewhere.

I'm not saying don't offer him a reasonable deal, I'd just be opposed to overpaying on a long term deal. 

We don't want to be Philly with Al, paying to dump a bad contract.

Supes said Boston's to him offer was 4/$65-$70 which seemed low to me, 4/$90-$100, declining salary I'd be ok with to some degree, the last year team option or partial guarantee.

[phoostal]

I'm not upset if Heyward signs or doesn't.   What is sad is this team never makes a big time move.  I mean a real big move.   They have cap space and assets and are making fringe moves.   They never dare to be great. 

[NBASupes]

I am seeking an update, fyi. 

[AHF]

I'm still waiting for an actual report that he is going somewhere and seeing what we do before getting too worked up.  For example, I'd much rather have Gallo at 2 years and $40M than Hayward at 4 years and $120M.  

[HawkItus]

If someone way overpays cool....just don't refuse to pay for the ribeye and serve me McDonald's 2 for 1

[AHF]

What will be most disappointing if we don't get Hayward is that I won't get to laugh every time I see "McRib" pop up in one of @Sothron's posts.  Best nickname I can remember for quite some time.

Indeed.

FTR, I think he goes to Indy via trade which is where I think his wife wants to go.

Did we confirm he can be sign and traded despite opting out?  I recall some confusion on that over the last week.
