Gordon Hayward to Celtics?

[AirBonner]

With the Brad Stevens connection should the Celtics go after him? I think they should based on the other players available. He would thrive under Brad's system.

He coached Hayward at Butler :facepalm

Utah matched his offer sheet a couple of years ago so they're pretty keen on keeping him by all accounts. It would probably take a hefty trade offer to pry him away from them but I've said since he was drafted that he'd look great in green.

next Larry Bird, boston has been waiting for a white superstar tbh

[TheMarkMadsen]

would be cool if he went to the celtics

There's only one team in the league that values white star players more than Boston... and Hayward already plays for them.

Pretty sure he has an opt-out in 2017. May as well try to recruit him then by using their pick arsenal to acquire some better pieces in the meantime. I don't think Utah trades him unless he specifically requests to leave.

Fwiw I thought Boston would unload at a Brooklyn pick + other sweeteners in a S&T back in 2014, but I guess they were saving up trying to land Love.

Terrible thread title.
