The typical competitive model is get 3 all stars together. Even the Spurs had that. One of them should be a go to player at the end of games. The Jazz don't really have that other than Joe Johnson who is on his last legs.

Hayward would be asbolutely crazy to leave the Jazz right now.

People keep saying that his relationship to Brad Stevens is "overstated" and

Do you think it is enough to pull him away from Snyder and the Jazz?

Yes

I'd agree with that. If the Jazz sucked then that seems like a given.

All-star snub would have him gone too, I think

He's going to opt out of his player option

It will ultimately depend on if he's build a similar relationship with Snyder

Agreed. He will have been with Quin almost the same amount of time.

I don't think he would have to be crazy to leave, but

Boston far exceeds SLC as a city especially if you make the money

I'd take SLC weather any day over Boston weather.

Wrong. I also do not think his style would mesh with Isiah

With Snyder as head coach, Hayward getting a max $ contract, and a great

Hayward isn't in the same tier as Stockton or Malone

Not yet he's not, but he's putting up great #'s

Agree that Hayward is not an "alpha scorer" yet, but he's not far from it. Just

Also, the Jazz are modeling their team off of the Spurs. The spurs

I think Hayward will be back but I wouldn't think he was crazy if he left.

The most important reason to stay is Gobert. He's the perfect All-Star teammate

Game Changer

I think this is his biggest reason for staying.

Hayward being the #2 scorer is a positive thing if he cares about winning

But that's just not very realistic. There's only a handful of players in the

The Celtics have that guy that takes all the pressure off Hayward

If you thought the Jazz have problems guarding point guards, watch the Celtics.

The Celtics have 2 of the best defensive guards in the NBA

And then IT has to guard a 2. He's even less capable of doing that.

The Celtics play a lot of help defense, so that Thomas doesn't have to exert

4/26/17 5:15pm

Playing 4-on-5 defense is not sustainable, as the Celtics have shown. It might

Thomas is NOT that guy. And Boston has assets, but nobody as valuable as Gobert

Game Changer

Thomas was 2nd in the league in 4th quarter scoring

Being the man with Gobert > Watching Isiah Thomas shoot foul shots

I sure hope you are right. I think he'll be with the Celtics next year
