I like Hayward a lot. I think he would do really well here playing off the ball. He was relied upon to do too much this past year in Utah, and that's why his efficiency dipped. He could give us a very efficient 15+ ppg while bringing an underrated ability to create and move the ball.

Yup, I've thought he fits Blatt's philosophy, Griff's too I would think.

No one can.

I'm almost expecting to see a trade involving Dion with all these rumblings of Ariza and Hayward

 

[catfish]

This pick is the woj of europe

 

[UncleDrew]

@AlexKennedyNBA: Explains the Cavs strong interest in Trevor Ariza They view Wiggins as a SG, & want Ariza to slide in and start at SF

 

[CFIO]

Gordon Hayward has a Manuesqe skill set would be at his best as primary guy of the bench imo

 

[Gimme Some Mo]

Hayward would be a great fit if they are truly committed to keeping Wiggins as a SG. His drop in 3P% shocks me though. He has shot 47, 35, 42 and 30% from 3 in his nba career. I am sure a big part of the drop is not getting as many spot up looks with Jefferson and Millsap gone and being asked to create more for himself, but that is still a huge drop off.

He's a nice fit though because of his ability to get you 5 assists a night from the SF spot. Not sure if he can play defense though. Never paid attention to it.

Let's put it this way.... If I was forced to choose between Hayward at 14 a year or Ariza at 10, I'd take Hayward without thinking twice. Only 24 years old too.

 

[JMcCurry08]

I'd rather offer Parsons a 10+ million dollar a year offer over Hayward, that's just me

You don't pay that guy $15M+

 

[Nathan S]

A 24 year old Manu Ginobili would easily be worth the max. But Hayward is not even close to being Manu Ginobili. Don't get that comparison at all.
