Hornets: Gordon Hayward Agrees to "Major" Offer Sheet with Hornets

**Raven** · 07-09-2014

Why would Charlotte care about Utah? Ping balls compe ion perhaps?

The most stupid part of all this is that Utah will match and will regret it halfway through the first season. This is so Eric Gordon style stupid.

Why not? utah has 10 players and under 30M in cap used, so as a gm i don't see a reason to allow cheap resignings from other teams

And how does that help your "Charlotte made a power move by making Utah overpay" argument?

**Purch** · 07-09-2014

Please don't match it

**~O~** · 07-09-2014

This was a essay prediction since it was already gathered that soeone would overpay him mid way through the season.

Shouldn't a max offer be 4 years, $68 million?

**baseline bum** · 07-09-2014

LOL at people upstairs thinking it won't take a max contract to sign Leonard next summer.

Who cares? everyone else on team below market value ...pay him whatever it takes overpay if need be.

Him too. Hayward is the better defender, but I would rather have chandler.

Though he does have some in him. Lucky bas s. Could make the difference.

That means he'd see no increase his first season, at best a minute one in his second and small to moderate increases in his final two years (at best). Unless the cap jumps up wildly, in which case, yeah, Gordon's getting stacks on stacks.

Well, like Kawhi, unless he is willing to take less than max from his current team, letting him sign a 4 year max deal with 4.5% raises elsewhere is still cheaper than a 5 year deal with 7.5% raises with his current team.

it doesn't, i just like to talk on dem ponies tbh

**TDMVPDPOY** · 07-09-2014

the charlotte hornets are under the cap right?

i see what mj is doing here, t hrowing max offers at teams who are close or already close to the cap with FA forcing them to overpay to re-sign players...so it pushes the team over the lux tax to pay more tax revenue

while mj collects them

Don't blame the Hornets for doing so. If I were a gm 10-12 mil would be the top range I would pay Hayward. But considering his age and his production and the lack of quality young wing player this FA, its no surprise he got this contract.

I already said Parson was going to get a 15mil a year deal from someone as well. His stats are almost the same as Hayward's. This is what happens when when a team doesn't draft well or develop players. They're left overpaying to get quality players.

As Spurs fans, where so use to players being paid their actual or below their value, it would seem like heresy to offer a player this sort of contract. RJ anyone.

Lance Stephenson's agent should fire Lance. What an idiot this guy was to do what he did. He will make some money, but it seems like a great possibility he cost himself millions for being a dummy.
