SALT LAKE CITY — If things go well for the Utah Jazz, they’ll celebrate the Fourth of July with some hot dogs, hamburgers, fireworks and a contract agreement from Gordon Hayward.
Short of seal-the-deal handshakes, Monday’s meeting in San Diego went about as well as the Jazz could have hoped for when team brass and a handful of players met with Hayward in his San Diego vacation home.
The Jazz’s presentation lasted for almost four hours and the Utah contingent presented an "excellent" case about why the All-Star small forward should continue his career in Utah, according to sources.
