It's baffling when you consider he's not an MVP or an all NBA first or second team caliber player. I just did a quick check. Since 1980, there's been 38 finals played. That means 76 teams have won their conference. Of those 76, only 14 of them did not have a guy who at some point in his career won the MVP award. Of those 14, 3 of them still at least featured the defensive player of the year. Of those last 38 champions, only 3 teams have won the title without an MVP winner past or present on their team. Does the team really see him as that much of a difference maker?

It's really because elite players currently aren't going to teams that don't already have an established star.

It's more than Hayward, it's about being more attractive because somebody might want to play with Hayward.

It's why I want a star on the rookie deal, I hope Adebayo is able to translate what he's shown to the league

Hayward is good, breh. He's the kinda player that stars want as your number two offensive guy. Complete offensive game, doesn't need to dominate the ball to get buckets, isn't a rhythm scorer and is consistent, and he's a solid defender.

Hayward led a team into the playoffs in the West

Of those 76, only 14 of them did not have a guy who at some point in his career won the MVP award and 4 of them came from the dark ages of the eastern conference of 1999-2004. Of those 14, 3 of them still at least featured the defensive player of the year. Of those last 38 champions, only 3 teams have won the title without an MVP winner past or present on their team.

True but D-Wade falls into that category and I'd say he was alright
