Chris Haynes on Open Floor(SI) talking Hayward story and Players Tribune

I'm listening to a podcast with Chris Haynes and they are talking about Hayward story(he's the one that broke the story) and the Players tribune. They cannot confirm this but rumor is Hayward got paid for breaking the news on the Tribune! Are you **** kidding me? He played those games with our FO and with the fanbase for 6 hours so it would qualify for him breaking the news on the tribune and so he can get his clicks and get paid his fee? ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME? WTF is this????????????:mad:

No. The point is he horsed us around for 6 hours just so he would collect his check!!! I don't mind him setting up things in whatever way he want to announce them and with whatever bonuses that would come his way - I mind it when he ****s us around for half a day after the story has been leaked so he wouldn't lose his deal with the Tribune.

I'm sure they had to finish writing it and clearing it or w/e. I don't really care. He wanted to get it out his way, **** just happened.
 
All he had to say in response to the Chris Haynes tweet was that he would be making his official announcement of his selection soon.

Hayward called the truth a lie.

I side with GH on this.

Haynes even admitted he made a mistake not letting GH agent know before he broke the story.

He also said he had 1 source tell him that 7/3, his 2nd source 7/4.

This backs up GH agent that he may have been "lean Celtics" but had not decided

Haynes even acknowledged that he was hoping he didn't influence the decision with his tweet.

This was GH news to share, and Haynes got lucky (he had a 50/50 shot since Miami was reported as out)

As for GH getting paid, who cares, GH is .more modern with social media. Heck, he plays video games with fans and connects with them.

Not a big deal , my issue is with Haynes...

GH has given us no reason to think he has lied about any of his side. You are going to trust 1 jackass reporter over 7 years of GH.

Think of it this way, if Hayward was truly undecided as he said when Haynes leaked (even though GH was a lean Celtic), maybe Haynes leak is what put Hayward over the top thinking he can't back out now.

Haynes may be THE REASON GH is in Boston....

Food for thought...
 
It's not like the Jazz leak rumours, Haynerd (or is it Nerdward?) could have called the Jazz to tell them the truth and still issued a public denial to keep his precious purse.

It is an inexcusable, low-class move to make his employer find out like everyone else when he knew they had so much riding on him.

That DID NOT HAPPEN.

Just because Haynes leaked it does not make it true.

Someone IS lying.

I tend to believe someone I have seen, root for and respect for 7 years over a sleezy ESPN reporter is all I am saying.

I am glad no one here is my friend, really stick by ya huh....

Don't forget Hayward is a UFA in 3 years.

He may realize he made a mistake and would like to come back.

This happens. SLC is making it hard for him to consider with how rude, threataning they have been to him and his family

You are incredibly naive. Haynes had the story. He had it confirmed. Everything is pointing to his version of the story being true. Including Hayward's own personal trainer following all Celtics social media accounts in the morning of the Indecision. Haynes is not some hack. He's one of the most respectable journalists that has broken stories in the last year. One could say he's right behind Shams and Woj... Why is it so hard to believe Hayward screwed up his exit and let his circle know before the Jazz or before he posted his article and someone from his circle leaked it?

I can see you are emotionally tied in to this. As of today I have moved on. I'm not mad at Hayward.
I'm sad about some of the stuff Jazz fans and people posing as Jazz fans have said to and about Hayward and his wife.

I wish him well.

I still think it was a huge mess and fiasco and sincerely believe Hayward and his camp knew he was leaving well before it was announced. All signs point to it.
I appreciate the good 7 years while he was here.

I also completely understand the feelings of anger and hurt that are expressed even if I don't appreciate how they are expressed.

I don't know how fans or Hayward would feel about a reunion in 3 years. Usually good basketball and winning overcomes all hurt feelings, but it might be tough.
There are some raw feelings that I'm not sure will be healed in 3 years.

Please let Hayward know next time you see him, even if it's using a mirror, to not worry about it, move on. The vocal minority of fans can be rough.

Freudian slip?
 
Gordon Hayward???? I've never heard of her.
