Apparently Gordon Hayward is signing with the Cavs. Max deal, if not close to.

so many teams interested in hayward now, theres no way he doesn't get the max extension (along with the cav's, the suns, celtics and of course jazz want him). i thought phoenix would have been the best fit for him

Doesn't Utah have the right to match whatever anyone else throws at Hayward??

At the rate this FA is going I feel we should just go ahead and offer Lance a max deal and go from there

It really feels like this, sadly.  We may have to roll the dice.

Or we could let everyone burn their cap and sign some mid tier guys this year, with an eye towards being players in FA in upcoming years where teams are cap strapped.

as a RFA they do,

 

im hoping someone might be able to tell me if hypothetically utah match a max contract offer made by another team, does hayward have to sign with utah or can he decide he would prefer to go to the other team? or for that matter could he decide to go to a team offering less money if he has a greater desire to go there (location over money)?

 

its something that i've wanted to know for years!

He would have to sign with Utah. He signs offer sheet with lets say the Cavs... Utah has a week to match offer or let him go. 

 

Hayward could get offered 12 million from lets say the Hornets and chose that over anything and Utah could just match. Whatever he signs as an offer sheet is what Jazz can match even if it was less than say what they offered originally. 

 

To best of my knowledge.

Pacers just signed CJ Miles. I think they may have given up on Lance.

With the new CBA it is only 3 days to match. Other than that you were 100% correct.
