I am growing increasingly more confident it happens. My gut all along has told me he leaves Utah. To be able to be in position to notify teams tonight leads me to believe he walked away from Celtics meeting confident in his decision and checked all the proverbial boxes on a decision that was likely already made. If he was wavering, he might need the holiday to decompress with family.
One could make argument that the decision he already made was in favor of one of the other 3 teams (Miami or Utah) but I think as a former sports player, you just respect your previous coaches. I can't imagine how cool it would be to reunite with a high school or college coach at the pro level. That's gotta touch a nerve deep down and Gordon Hayward seems like a well rounded young man who values family.
So before the announcement, Gordon. Welcome to the Celtics family!
