    I like Hayward's game. He is going to be a good player.

    Jimmer has uncanny range. I want to name my new dog Jimmer.

    Does your dog hit the tree from the other side of the street or something?

    Since Budinger would get the label of "Is there anyone WORSE on D?", would give Hayward the nod here.

    Hayward can stay in front of Kobe for more than 5 possessions. Budinger couldn't even stay in front of a one-knee McGrady for 1 possession.

    Hayward is going to be Ginobili-lite with his size-handles ratio, gutsy play, vision, and offensive repertoire.

    Jimmer's going to be Jason Terry-lite with his range and quick release.

    Hayward will be borderline all-star while Jimmer will be a good contributor off the bench. GH will factor more into his teams success.

    Before Hayward can be Ginobili he has to have that winning/ tenacious mentality to go all out for a win. Im not sure he has that.

    One's is pretty tall for his position and one is a midget for his position. I'll take the tall one.

    Can Jimmer dunk it in traffic like Hayward? I think not.

    But... Hayward is still a Spazz at the end of the day. Boo to him.

    If that's a comment about how Houston hasn't been able to do that, I have to point out that Utah had at least one highly desirable franchise quality player to flip which allowed them to net several of those nice young players.

    ...but I have to agree with you about Utah's core. I don't think they are going to be scary good because I don't think any of those guys is necessarily a franchise player(Favors will be good, but bigs can't carry a team in today's game - see Howard, Dwight) but I think that's a scary team to play because they are deep and have a lot of quality players. In the past - Utah could have made that work under Jerry Sloan but I don't know if that's the case now. I still think they are one impact player away from being a darkhorse contender.

    I would think Hayward - can't feasibly see Jimmer blossoming in Sacramento. His road was going to be a tough one even if he landed in the right spot and the Kings are not the right spot. Hayward seems okay - strikes me as a little slow though. I thought half of those points he got in that Laker clip was because the Lakers didn't believe he would shoot it. That being said, great shooters always hang around the league - especially if you got a little height.

    Yep, job very well done. Plus they have Okur's expiring deal as well. Any chance they might like Flynn?
