I don't know about a statue but he would definitely have his jersey hanging from

Sorry to revisit Gordon Hayward, but does anyone else feel a little stupid

No. All Stars are few and far between in Utah. We gotta keep the ones we have.

This too, he was groomed and developed in Utah. He was liked and had a team

this is why the jazz will never win. Stars don't want to play in Utah.

Other than Rudy

For now...

I think that he didn't even try out restricted FA is a good sign though

3/13/18 1:13pm

True. My hope is that the stars on this team gel so well they know they won’t find a better situation.

The key is whether they are a true contender in a couple years or not. I find it

not an all-star but 2nd team All NBA last year.

when you think of star players in the NBA, Rudy comes to mind?

to me, star equals results and not votes. Gobert 2nd team all NBA. #2 DPOY.

3/13/18 3:39pm

Yep. He’s not flashy but changes the offensive game of every team in the league more than anyone else.

People didn't offer him a statue, what are you taking about?

Cougar TD

I heard a lot of talk about a statue.

GRCoug

3/13/18 12:47pm

Well, if he'd won a title or given us another 10 years at an all-star clip, sure

Any talk about a statue would have been about building something. Betrayward decided to be a beta and go to boston

3/13/18 12:50pm

I don't want anyone to get hurt, but he definitely screwed over the Jazz.

Cougar TD

3/13/18 12:53pm

Wanting him to get hurt is different than accepting sports karmas effect in all this. The basketball Gods spoke clearly.

3/13/18 12:54pm

I'm fine with that

Cougar TD

3/13/18 12:56pm

Who did he betray? He got no input of where he got drafted

cougarfann888

3/13/18 12:54pm

The problem with that is the Jazz built the team around him, developed him,

Cougar TD

3/13/18 12:58pm

When Paul freaking George handles free agency better than Hayward there's an obvious issue.

3/13/18 12:59pm

Yeah that was really surprising

It was more than just talk. Here's one preliminary sketch

Twin Roots

It shows other players the fans appreciate them.

3/13/18 12:48pm

The statue stuff was just pillow talk. We didn't intend to follow through on it.

3/13/18 12:55pm

What were we to do? let him walk, pat him on the back & say break a leg in BOS?

3/13/18 12:58pm

Yep. It's now obvious that his one good year was because the team was built

I won't say Mitchell has made Hayward irrelevant, because I think we'd have been

dreamlvr

3/13/18 1:10pm

I don’t think Mitchell would have developed like he has with Hayward around

franklyvulgar

3/13/18 1:20pm

Mitchell is an alpha and Hayward is not. Eventually

dreamlvr

3/13/18 1:57pm

Funny thing is ... many Boston fans don't even want him to come back.

ManicBlue

Other players notice those kinds of things. In a market like SLC you need to

Bluedarts

I wanted him to stay (51 wins), but am happy how things have turned out. He

Good post. We all knew that the Jazz aren't contending for a year or two at best
