2016-2017 Gordon Hayward Thread (We Did It Guys! Fireworks!!!)

[celticinorlando]

Boston does not get Hayward they will be the biggest loser this offseason. On the verge of getting George and Hayward only to resigning KO and Zeller.

Boy what a bad summer

[Phantom255x]

Woj on ESPN: Gordon Hayward has been engaged with the Jazz this offseason. Woj notes working with Jazz trainers, etc. Jazz are confident.

Uh oh...

If we don't get Hayward this will be depressing.

From Fultz + Hayward to possibly Tatum + Olynyk & Dead Weight...

Love Tatum still but dang...

This could be the worst offseason ever
Big stars moved
Cousins (febraury)
Butler
George
Paul
Etc

Ainge lost his touch

Yeah, my money is always on the incumbents, especially if they are willing to give him the max without qualification.

Agreed.

Allegedly, we didn't want to make any deadline deals because we wanted to keep cap space open. We don't do anything of significance, this off-season is a resounding failure.

[celticinorlando]

Only thing you are adding is Zizic, Tatum, Yabu and resigning Zeller and KO...if that is all you do..then this team is no better than last year and might be worse.

3 rookies will have to contribute ASAP. Can't see how anyone thinks this is a successful summer

If your worst off-season ever consists of losing your 7th best player (Amir) and adding the #3 pick in a stacked draft, then you've got one hell of a track record.

I think this might be a bit overblown, especially with the Rockets and Thunder getting significantly better in the last few days.

But, yeah, this would be a pretty massive failure to not get Hayward after all that has happened. I have absolutely zero interest in running this same team back once again with no significant upgrades, especially to our weak areas. It'd be blow up time for me.

Could've been the #1 in a stacked draft....

Getting tired of well we will strike next season only to be built around rookies and scrap heap journeymen

Last year we signed Al Horford...

That's awfully quick to develop this fatigue.

And missed on KD...resigned bums like Zeller, Green and kept James Young.

Agreed.

If this happens, then anything short of a ECF appearance, Ainge should be fired.

Because you're right. We didn't offer anything for Boogie because we are saving our cap space. We could have. In fact, we probably could have offered a better deal than Nawlins. But we didn't, because cap space. Fine.

Here's the cap space. If we don't use it on someone significant, then all that passing on a top 25 player goes to absolute waste.

But, we should give him a leash, he did build this team, and if this reaches the final four NBA teams, then okay. But anything short, he has to go.

Let someone else use the assets he hoarded and maybe we'll get a better shot.

[SparzWizard]

If we miss Hayward...

then just overpay for Paul Millsap. Rather have him over Olynyk.

That's why you are frustrated?

A rookie contract, a minimum contract and Tyler Zeller???
