Book it. Lebron's run ends in 2018.

Boston will also add an elite player via the Nets pick in both 2017 and 2018

Why would Haywood leave all that extra money on the table to leave Utah?

To play for a better team, easier chance to get to finals, former head coach at butler, and because he wants to play for a coach who isn't coked up 3/4 of the time.

No, Quin Snyder doesn't look liked he's coked up!

All of that sounds nice, and it may not seems like a lot to you and me when we're talking about hundreds of millions, but dudes aren't going to willingly give up the 40-70 million, whatever the hometown max deal is(for 1st or 2nd non-rookie deal with team that drafted you). That's a lot of cheese to anybody.

I will say that Boston is in an envious, but interesting position. Who is ever this good this early with a great young coach, and so many high pick assets? They need a non Isaiah Thomas superstar to get over the hump and do more than just have a nice regular season and get bounced in conference finlas(at best). Is there anybody available worth cashing those picks in that would get them there? Or do you just keep em, hope you find one in the draft and try to go in like 10-year run of being really really good? Ainge has some interesting decisions to make.

I'd be on the phone with Indiana about Paul George.

Guy is clearly on the way out which means a total rebuild for the Pacers. They need picks, Boston needs another superstar, both sides win if he is onboard to sign long term.

None of that is worth giving up $50 to $100 million


quote:

Other teams are limited in the length of contract and the size of yearly raises they can offer Hayward. While the Jazz can offer a 5-year deal at 30 percent of the cap, with 8 percent raises every year, other teams can only offer a 4-year deal, with 5 percent raises every year. If Hayward signs with another team, he also becomes ineligible to ever sign a Designated Player deal. That's missing out on potentially 35 percent of the cap for the next three seasons, until he has those 10 years of NBA experience. In other words, he'd be losing out on about $45 to $100 million of guaranteed money, depending on whether or not he qualifies for DPE status.

If the end of his run stops, doesn't that contradict your prediction?

The folks in Columbia must be loving the feel good media coverage of Quin Snyder's redemption story.

A guy leaving some extra cash for a better chance to win is not unheard of. Didn't KD just do it?

this is an excellent point, but KD gets more in endorsements than Hayward. I'm sure that's a tough decision, though.
