[Jones]BREAKING: Jazz willing to engage Celtics in S&T talks: But Gordon Hayward must agree

[Cappy_Smurf]

My point is the Jazz are going to be worse and have a worse record.

I don't think this is a given at all, considering the injury problems we had. Could be close to the same or even have a better record.

Hayward is on his way to Boston as is Ainge and Stevens. They can't make an announcement without trading some salary first. I think it gets done today.

I'd imagine they'd want it done before they land. IF they are not already traveling with Hayward they will want everything to be good to go before they see him.

Hoping we can bring Jae-ZZ and his #99 to town.

I thought that nobody could officially sign anything (therefore announce anything) until tomorrow anyways. I bet it's all worked out by tomorrow. Really hoping to get Crowder. It's a step down from what Hayward does, but better than the other options the Jazz are currently looking at either.

 

[Jack Strop]

If they can get to a difference of $500k or less, maybe even $1m, I doubt Hayward objects. It will be close enough for him.

Spit balling here. Right now the Celtics are under the cap, right? They could absorb a contract like Faried and then send what they absorbed plus Crowder for Hayward.

I think the MLE has some value right now and the exception is cool to use for a year. Huge asset.

Yep. Both of those things give the Jazz room to upgrade the roster from where they're at right now.

Another reason you want Crowder is he's a tradeable asset.

Why in the world would they absorb a random contract to trade when they don't have to?

To try and make salary work without giving up their players. Maybe my thinking is wrong here but wouldn't they have to?

RealGM reporting they are "close" to an agreement.

Oh alright, I see what you mean. They only have to trade Crowder and they're in the clear.

Their source is Mark Murphy and we've already discussed what he said about 2-3 hours ago.

... I'm also hearing that Ainge's personal website has crashed, and that this could all take awhile.

oh snap

 

[Revolution 9]

Crowder changes how I feel completely.

Would be a nice piece to move on from, and close the Wayward saga.

If Boston trades Bradley, who is guarding Kyrie Irving?
