I forgot about this but when Hayward was an RFA Charlotte signed him to the contract that the Jazz matched, so there is some history there.Yeah, I could see that. Lol at that description.
Feel like Charlotte might’ve finally drafted well though? Ball is a big time talent. I think Vernon Carey was a really nice pick where they got him. And that kid they picked at the end of the draft has big time scoring ability and could be a nice find.
They REALLY need to have hit on Ball and have him be a superstar though.
There's always a question of health, but compared to other contracts the Hornets have given out, I think Hayward's deal actually has a pretty solid chance of working out. When he plays he will produce. He does everything you hope for in a small forward and his game meshes extremely well with whatever other players he's on the court with.
It may be both a dumb move and for them, a really good one.
