2017 Free Agents - Is Hayward the best we can get?

[PhoSita]

I have a feeling the Jazz are gonna be pretty good this year.  Hayward's gonna be with the Jazz till he's in his mid-30s, I think.  They will be a 45-55 win team for the next 5-6 years.  Maybe make it past the 1st round a couple times.

We've got Jae Crowder entering his prime, and we've used a #3 pick on Jaylen Brown. That is a pick where you expect at least a 50/50 chance of the player developing into an all-star or better. If Brown looks to be on the proper trajectory by year's end, I don't see Ainge burning a slot like that on a not quite all-star like Hayward, which would leave no minutes for Brown's development. The impact on our team will be marginal at best

 Hayward is mainly a two guard though. If we could sign Hayward and move Smart for Noel and afford everyone that would be ideal.

He is? I thought he was a pretty natural three that could play some small-ball 4. I'm not sure that he has the foot speed and lateral quickness to be a full time 2.

 I guess he's a true swing. He can play both positions well. He's a good guy to have for that reason.

 Turner could too, but couldn't really shoot.

That has been the thoughts of many the last 3 years.
