Title: Gobert: "I didn't like the way Hayward handled it (leaving the team)"
Post by: CelticsElite on July 11, 2017, 09:26:19 PM

Says Gobert, the guy who tweeted childish things and made dumb video after haywards decision singing profanities about his disloyalty (see: In the wake of Hayward's announcement, Gobert posted a video on Instagram of him singing along with Chris Brown's "Loyal." However, Gobert would not acknowledge that the video was a shot at Hayward's perceived disloyalty.)

Meanwhile Hayward wrote a nice and long thoughtful letter that showed he was a class act.

When Gobert eventually leaves because he will after they are stuck in the middle of the West somebody will say the same about him. You can't please everybody.

Watch this goof becomes irrelevant without a star carrying this bum on the offensive end.

Can't wait to see him even more exposed with Utah now that they don't have Hayward.

You know that tweet will come back at some point once he bolts for a different team himself in a few years.

Id say his giantism is going to get him a few all nba team appearances and thus and enormous contract that only Utah can give him so we'll never know...unless he doesnt make an all nba team.

Boo hoo  :'(

Will be interesting seeing how many points Gobert can score without Hayward, considering his offensive game is shocking.

Poor Rudy.

I have no issue with Gobert taking issue with a teammate not telling his soon to be former teammates he was leaving.

Why?  If he tells the whole team he's leaving before he announces it, someone will reveal it in a tweet before Hayward makes the announcement.

I got the impression he never talked to Gobert.  Even after it was official.

Maybe he did tell a teammate (not Gobert) and that was the "leak."

It makes more sense than anything else, in terms of the motives involved.

Ah, ok.  Well if they were friends he probably would have told him.  I've seen tons of people just disappear and retire without telling most of the people they work with.  I always understood because maybe they just didn't want the attention.  That's how I imagine doing it many years from now.  Maybe tell a few that  people I'm close to, but I'm not going to go to every person that I don't care much about and have them tell me how sorry they are that I'm leaving.  Or beg me to stay.

I don't think there's any way to leave under those conditions without making people upset. That's just part of the deal. Gobert will get over it.

nothing burger

I'm sure Hayward leaving took the air out of the teams tires. They went from a playoff team with some hope, to lottery team in one day.

See you in CELTIC GREEN in 3 years, Stifle Tower.

Your contract in Utah will be up by then.

Gordon Hayward will re-up in BOS after HIS 4 years and he'll draw you here right along with him.

Would LOVE to see him in BOS.

Dry those tears and look ahead 3 years from now, Rudy.

See you in BOS.

I know...

He's a poor man's Hassan Whiteside, which isn't saying all that much.

Rudy Gobert made 1st Team NBA Defensive AND 2nd Team All NBA last season.

Whiteside got player of the week in March 2017.

I guess the argument could me made that perhaps Whiteside would've did the same thing with Hayward but for now I'd say that Gobert is the Real Deal.

If we somehow lure Gobert in 3 years due to Hayward being here I'd be ecstatic.

whining about it in public does not help his case now or in the future.  His job is to,play ball and worry about his job.

The moaning and complaining is the fans work.
