STAYWARD

Again, if Hayward chose the Celtics, it would be very easy for his camp confirm and put the media reports to rest by saying, "Confirm that Hayward likes Boston. Further details forthcoming."
 
They were going to do that regardless weren't they? Probably just a sign that they are ready to get their FA going.

Timing is curious
 
I hope he stays, but this whole thing is a bit much for a player like Hayward. He's a good player, but he's a one time all star (who barely made the all star team, and arguably, Rudy should have been there instead). I'd love to have him, but we shouldn't have to to beg him. The part that's super annoying is the Celtics and their arrogant, entitled fans.
 
Right... it would be a S&T if Hayward wants a 5th year to get the deal done. There's the carrot. It happens all the time. Boston would shed the necessary salary to get him and in order for the Jazz to cooperate, we need something back. Otherwise, it's 4 years and Hayward gets less. That's the chip. It's not much, but if it ends up being a trade for Gordon Hayward, then Boston has to give something up to make the trade 'equal' or it gets rejected by the league.
 
well... I've been completely anesthetized by this ****show. Logging off now because I sorta feel like I shouldn't give a ****.

Apparently, this can't happen under the current rules.
