super small forward

Chapter 641

Hayward is making a strong appeal to the Jazz management, asking for help, asking for help.

But the prince didn't listen!
Their boss, Mr. George Miller, lost his father when he was young. He had no interest in managing the Jazz, or he was unwilling to even touch the team. Le management, separate team assets from family assets, let Greg Miller be responsible for his own profits and losses...

The Jazz is probably the most casual team in the league. This has something to do with the Jazz's owner's family's obsession with the NBA and basketball, and bad luck will happen when they encounter the NBA.

The owner of the Jazz, the Miller family, bought the Jazz after the disbandment of Postman Malone in 2003. They really love basketball.

The Miller family is one of the well-known car sales channels in the United States. They have no actual product output, but their annual sales volume has reached nearly 4.8 billion. The annual income of the Miller family has reached an astonishing [-]% after excluding all costs and taxes. [-] million, is the existence with the highest income among the owners of all NBA teams.

But the Miller family has been unlucky since they bought the Jazz. In 2005, their family leader Kevin Miller passed away at the age of 65, and his younger brother Larry Miller took over the family business.

In 2007, Larry Miller's last wife, who was only 39 years old, passed away. Then Larry Brown was overly sad and contracted a serious illness. In 2009, he died at the age of 64.

Then Larry Miller's son, Roger Miller, who was only 45 years old, died in 2013, and George Miller, who was only 21 years old, took over the family.

At this time, no one in the entire Miller family is willing to be the patriarch of the family. Since this position has a relationship with the Jazz, whoever sits and who dies!
But they are really reluctant to sell an NBA team, and their entire family loves basketball.

So, after several memories, it was finally decided to select the Jazz management by drawing lots. The poor old Greg Miller became the big boss of the Jazz, and then George Miller decisively separated the Jazz from the family business. Turns out, it's almost like giving the Jazz to Greg Miller...

Therefore, the biggest headache for Jazz general manager Greg Miller is... no money.

Yes, even if there is no money, the Jazz is not a particularly profitable team. Because they cannot make it to the playoffs, their income is relatively fixed. They must operate well to keep their salary below the luxury tax threshold in order to ensure profitability. Guarantee the normal payment of players' salaries, as well as staff salaries that can be paid on time.

After Greg Miller took over the team in the last three years, the Jazz have indeed controlled their salary very well. They will only reach the salary cap by a little bit, and they will make a profit every year.

However, in this way, the Jazz, which had already made the playoffs in 2012, never made the playoffs again...

The strength of the Jazz is really not bad, but they have had the same problem in recent years, that is, after the rookie contracts of young players in the team end, they can't keep anyone.

Because... there is no money to renew the contract.

Now the Jazz has only one player with an annual salary of more than 1500 million, only one player with an annual salary of more than 1000 million, and only one player with an annual salary of more than 900 million...

This player is Gordon Hayward. Ranked second on the Jazz salary list is Derek Favors, a ten thousand-year potential man who renewed his contract for 4 million in four years last summer. The first year salary of the new contract is 3800 million.

This made Hayward very upset. Enes Kanter, who played very well last season, was almost sent to the Thunder by the Jazz because the renewal price was too expensive, because Kanter’s asking price was 5 million for five years, and the Jazz Only willing to give a price of less than 7000 million for 4 years.

Therefore, Derek Favors became the backup tire selected by the Jazz, and then continued to be his long-term potential man.

However, the Jazz is really not bad!

There are so many young people with potential, and it’s time to realize their talents. This year, there are six players who averaged more than 12 points per game. Ninth in the Western Conference, if they stick to the inside combination of Kanter and Trevor Booker, and there are two powerful substitutes in the bench lineup, Derrick Favors and Gobert, they can definitely go further.

but no money...

At this time, it is necessary to talk about the different views and ideas of two different people facing the same thing.

Hayward was very dissatisfied and felt that the Jazz was delaying his future. During the 2014 offseason, the Jazz were unwilling to give Hayward a maximum salary offer, but a qualification offer, and let the free market try it out. Hayward's worth, no way, no money!
As a result, Mr. Joe, who was also called the Bobcat Hornets at that time, gave Hayward a four-year maximum salary of 4 million. At that time, the starting salary of the maximum salary was more than 6400 million...

Then the Jazz could only be forced to match the 4-year 6400 million contract and keep Hayward.

The Jazz was actually unwilling at that time, because after the 2013-2014 season, Hayward's statistics were only 16 points per game. Although he had 5 points and 5 rebounds, many fans only looked at the score, and some management also , which made Hayward feel very hurt and began to be dissatisfied with the Jazz.

Then in the second year of the new contract, which is this season, Hayward averaged 22 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists per game, becoming one of the most outstanding small forwards in the league, but the team put those capable young players one by one. Letting go made Hayward feel that the management was against him.

However, Greg Miller, the thrifty general manager, has a completely different idea. Greg Miller has been saving money for more than two years, and he will continue to save money this year, because next season, the salary cap will increase. He, Greg Miller, is going to make a big deal. He will put all the team cash left over from the previous few years into the next season. In addition to this year's surge in income, he will accumulate more than 1 million yuan for next season. Salary, digging in the free market, wanting to go directly to the playoffs, or even go further in the playoffs, let the Jazz become a profitable team, so that they can maintain the playoffs or even second in the future With the strength of the wheel, it is not impossible to take a look at the Western Conference Finals.

It is unlikely that the boss and the players will have the same ideas, and Greg Miller is not very good at communicating with the players, which then gave Hayward a very uncomfortable feeling.

So... the Lakers saw a Hayward who played like a resentful woman. The Jazz lost Kanter inside, leaving only Derek Favors with scoring ability, Trevor Booker and Gobert. ... Has little scoring ability other than dunking.

Hood, Alec Burks, and Trey Burke on the outside are all players who need to be created to score, so Hayward can only continue to live. He has passed 5 years and is now in the sixth year. The day of being a father and a mother.

Hayward supports the Jazz to move forward, but he supports the Jazz to play a dozen Grizzlies, Pelicans, Mavericks, these ordinary playoff teams are okay, even if they play against the Clippers and Thunder, they will definitely win It is possible to come down, but if you beat the Lakers... Hayward can only continue to be a bitter woman...
