Yeah, lazy narrative overrated etc etc etc lolIt was such a tough decision. But there was one person who I knew I could talk to about it from every angle, who I knew would give me the smartest and most honest perspective available: Coach Stevens.
What’s crazy is — before I even had a chance to make my decision, before I had a chance to sit down and write this, and before I even had a chance to talk about it with the people I love — I was already reading reports about where I was going. And I guess that’s just the way things work, in 2017. But I’m sorry it had to work out like that.

Or just write the letter. That was a long but very well written goodbye. That alone must have taken him a day to writeSeems pretty clear he got tripped up by a leak and it took a few hours to get the message right.
Anyone questioning Stevens was very, very wrong. Half the piece was devoted to him.Remember when some in this thread were arguing Stevens wasn't a factor in Hayward's decision because Spoelstra was also a good coach? LOL
Yep--I said it earlier, Stevens was the first person that told him that he could play in the NBA.Wow, that basically said Stevens was it. Stevens attachment was what got him here.
