    I feel for them, but hayward seems like a decent dude. Lamarcus has proven time and time again he's a self centered a-hole. I'm willing to give hayward the benefit of the doubt this time.

    I personally wouldn't want to play in Salt Lake.

    I feel nothing for Jazz fans. I hated that team and their fans back during the Stockton/Malone days.

    I actually don't mind SLC. But i woukdn't want to play there either.

    But i feel for them because they are a small market team and players generally feel the same way there that they do here.

    Hurts when your all star you drafted spurns you. They have no one to blame but themselves though. They had many years to build a team he wouldn't bounce from.

    And they've done that. Utah is a very good team.

    I still think, even with Hayward, they didn't have a superstar caliber player.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Most teams don't. They still won 51 games in the tougher conference despite a fair amount of significant injuries. With injury luck, they might have been in the high-50s. That's a tremendous team.

    Can't believe I'm saying this, but I really like what the Kings have done this summer.

    Adding Hill and ZBo is nice. Landing one of Bogdan/Porter will really help. And I love their rookie trio.

    No, just a less passive, more consistent Nic Batum. Hayward averaged 21.9 ppg as the 1st option on a on a 51-win team. Batum has never come close to that. I really believe Nic has the talent to do so, but not the mind set. He always seemed content to be the 3rd or 4th option, when he had the talent to be a No. 1 or No. 2 guy. Just way too passive and often disappeared for several games at a time. Great role plyer, but you could never build a team around him.
