potentially important series for BOS: LAC vs. UTA

[perks-a-beast]

This series will feature two free agents that the Celtics will highly value in the offseason - Hayward & Griffin. If one of these two guy face a premature 1st round exit, will they feel more inclined to jump ship?

My dream offseason scenario is to get Blake, who is a mere perfect fit for this team. But are his roots in LA too deep? Does he value playing in a warm big market city with his friends over winning?

I think the more likely scenario for the Celtics is Gordon Hayward. GH has ties with Coach Stevens, and the Jazz are more likely to lose in the first round, although I can see that being a highly competitive series.

If one of these guys lose early on and see the Celtics make it far, that could be enough to entice them on playing here?

Just a thought.

I'd be happy with either.

But Hayward is younger, doesn't have the injury history, and spaces the floor better.
