I'm not optimistic. At this point, I'm just hoping we can make it to the meeting.

Coming out of this summer with roughly the same roster but adding zizc, yabu and tatum would be a hard pill to swallow.

Not sure there is anyone out there after hayward to even consider paying. Quite the disappointment

I mean, after thinking about it more I almost think this George trade sealed Hayward to Boston, or to a lesser extent Miami. If he truly wants to win, that's only going to happen in the East. There are 4 teams that are significantly better than Utah out West that they have no chance of catching any time soon.

1. Golden State, 2. San Antonio, 3. Houston, 4. Minnesota Timberwolves, 5. LA Clippers, 6. Portland Trail Blazers, 7. New Orleans Pelicans

...yeah. The 8th spot is anyone's grab in the West.

Do you not? Why would he stay out West if he wants to win? At best they're the 5th best team in the West, but arguments can be made that Minnesota, Portland, and Denver are all just as good if not better than them this coming year.

I think the C's overestimate themselves a bit.

It wouldn't shock me in the slightest if he chose Miami.

I think the odds are now even between Miami and Boston.

Hard to see him staying in Utah ESPECIALLY if they end up losing both Hill and Ingles.

Keeping Hill + Hayward gets them into a luxury tax in a stacked West. Do they want that?

Honestly, I see literally 0 reason to go to Miami. Outside of nightlife, we are better in every single category than them. Hell, we've went like 7-0 against them the last two years, and like 3-1 against Utah!

It won't be the end of the world. Sign a decent big, acquire a veteran shooter to come off the bench at the 2-3, they'll be fine.

According to a league source, Gordon Hayward will be in Boston for his visit with the Celtics on Sunday.

Danny's pitch should be pretty simple:

Too true.
That should really be the only thing he should display on his powerpoint slides.
