Well, hopefully the Jazz get swept now in order to increase the chance of Hayward considering leaving.
Hayward scored 29 points even with Golden State hounding and defending him VERY WELL.
I'll admit, that's impressive.
Not enough to beat GSW though.
Would Hayward on this Celtics team be enough to dethrone Cleveland?
You'd still need an upgrade (a legit starter) at the 4 between Horford and Hayward, but I think it'd be close, depending upon what other moves we made.
Now on the other hand, I still hold that signing Griffin alone would put us right in the conversation with Cleveland, let alone the other additions we make.
I just think we need much more of an upgrade at that big position that signing Hayward is only as good as the improvement that we get at the 4.
