Black Friday letdowns a reminder why Hayward couldn't wait any longer & had to take MJ deal

If you've ever gotten excited for Black Friday only to find out that your window to purchase an ipad, gaming system, or inflatable hot tub was extremely limited, you might better understand why it can be true that Indian was Gordon Hayward's preferred location, but he had to take the Hornets' offer. Now some will erroneously argue that Hayward was going to take the greatest amount of cash no matter what, but that sentiment runs counter to his history. He was a free agent in 2017 and the best offer by far for him to take would have been with Utah.
