If Conley can get a max from Grizz, Hayward will get one from Jazz. Hayward isn't going to be available.
Depends on what Hayward wants. The Jazz don't spend money(lowest payroll in the NBA). They even offered him less money when he was going for an extension. But now they are signing an other tune with him, but would they spend money on some one else and go over the cap? How are they getting better players? FA? most likely not. Draft, nope too good for a good pick.
Bos has done this, and will. When DA and Stevens meets with him, and they show him what ever plan with PG13. And they have a better bench, and could be even better next season with the Nets 2018. They can improve almost every year for the next 3 to 5 with picks and FA's because the East may get weak, and players want that playoff check. And the West has gotten stronger. Mini could be a beast. PHX is on the rise, Maybe NO if AD and Cousins figures it out. LA may not tank this year and only will get better. Clips will go down most likely, but Huston could get better, who knows about Dallas and Portland. If OKC can get Griffin, they'll be better.
Plus if Boston goes to the finals, wouldn't Hayward make up some of that lost cash in endorsements? And I'm not as affraid of GSW as some, if we can get close with talent, have that young bench perform well, I trust our coach out couching Kerr every day of the week. We've played them pretty well over the last few years. And thats with a so,so team. Imagine giving Stevens some weapons who can actually score.
