What's hoopcritic? Edit: I see them in your post. Presumably Ainge is all over it, if true.

just heard...listening live to T & R, not the best sports talk show, but much better than WEEI....I will post the link when I get it...

Would love him on the C's...Danny working his magic behind the scenes

Moderators please combine threads...

Well that seems to contradict everything that people have said so far...

Whilst I like Hayward his price seems to be the 3rd pick + assets. Not sure that's worth it for a guy with one year left. Even if we re-sign him are you happy with paying him $25-30m the next few years?

That's crazy. So Stein's report is wrong then? Also, is Gordan Hayward even that good. I'd rather take my chances at 3 and try to hit on a superstar. You have two more years hopefully in the lottery to hit at least on one player. Jaylen Brown is my guy. Hopefully he can improve into a stud. If not, try again next year.

Have to wonder if the Jazz would prefer players to draft picks. Marcus Smart would make some sense for them.

They would laugh in our face. The probably want Thomas since they are not rebuilding over there.

Would love a Celtics #16 pick and Smart for Hayward.

That's probably too light. Think you need one more legit NBA talent, at least, if you get away with keeping #3. Most obvious choice would be Olynyk, but with Lyles in Utah that ain't gettin' it done.

Welcome to Boston Gordon

So why did they reject the Celtics call ?  Unless they didnt and something is nearly complete

To Jazz:  Young, Amir, #3 ,# 35
To Celtics: Hayward

What about Smart, Young, Jerebko, 16, and 31 for Hayward?

Kinda think that the Jazz were saying that BEFORE today's report from Hayward.

If They are trading their best player on their team, they are blowing it up. Hayward is the reason that team almost made the playoffs last year.

I love Hayward, but I don't know what to think of these rumors. Considering that Marc Stein said they weren't moving him around 12 hours ago, I'm not sure I believe this.
