Gordon Hayward has yet to decide if he will opt out of his contract to become a free agent.
"It's hard to think about right now, just because of the season we've had and everything we've gone through," he said at his end-of-season availability. "Today it still feels like you're looking toward the next game, looking toward the next opponent. That's obviously over. But it's hard to shut that off right away."
Hayward has enjoyed his time in Salt Lake City, joining the Utah Jazz in 2010.
"It's been so much fun for me here in Utah. Kind of growing up here, starting a family," he said, adding later: "I have nothing but love for everybody here in Utah."
Hayward is expected to receive interest from the Boston Celtics amongst a number of other teams.
"We certainly want him to continue here. There's certainly a lot of good things happening here," Quin Snyder said.
We should consider hunting other FA SF as well this offseason, maybe with trades or just sign/trade for a big. We can't count that Hayward will sign with us, just like we counted that Durant would sign last year and he went like a bitch to Oakland.
