Utah's insisted it will match any offer sheet for Hayward, but bold move out of MIchael Jordan. Charlotte is desperate for talent infusion.

It's a max, ladies and gentlemen!

Why this makes sense:

The Hornets need what Hayward can be, a great passer, floor leader, and someone who can do a little of everything. Pairing up with Big Al Jefferson again will also make his life easier and get him a lot of spot up shots with no defenders around him -- a luxury he did not have last season with the Jazz.

Why this does not make sense:

The Utah Jazz have held that they will match anything. So they will match anything, if they are being honest. The Jazz have three days to match.

Likelihood: 9/10

If a beat writer is saying he's going to sign I believe him or her.
