I have no grasp at all as to why people have been so obsessed with Hayward.
This is the first season in his career that he's actually putting up star like numbers, and it happens to be a contract year on a team where his defensive limitations are masked by playing alongside one of the top 2 or 3 rim protectors in the nba.
First year he has played like a true star, but hes put up at least 19/5/4 each of the last 3 years.
Put him on the Celtics with a fresh fat contract as a 2nd option behind Thomas and his scoring will drop significantly (expect 17-18 PPG), and his weak defence will be exposed once he's playing with Horfrd and Amir instead of Gobert and Favors.
I dont think he is a bad defender, but yes, he would look worse without Gobert.
He's overrated, he's always been overrated,
last time he was FA, he was underrated. Utah forced him to find another team to give him the max, plenty of people here preferred Jeff Green.
and if Boston gives him a max deal it will be the biggest mistake they've made since giving Horford a max - which currently already like like one of the top 3 or 4 dumbest signings of this past off-season
lol, no it doesnt. That is just a terrible take. Horford was a good signing, and even if you hated him, he was a way better signing then Noah, Parsons, Mozgov, Deng, Barnes, Turner etc etc
Got want this team to be financially crippled for the next half decade thanks to paying $55m -$60m to a pair of fringe stars? If so then sign Hayward.
Atlanta Hawks 2.0 - lets do this!!
yeah thats another stupid take. I missed the part where Atlanta had 2 top 4 picks.
