It's time to finally dump Hayward!

[mef730]

Seriously, we've given the guy all the time in the world and he just hasn't delivered.

Last night, he almost cost us the game. He scored 16 points in the first quarter and, if he had been able to keep up his pace, he would have had 64 on the game. But he only finished with 39, meaning that he lost out on 25 potential points. It's clear that he simply can't sustain his pace for a full game.

Let's not forget, though, that he also missed three 3-pointers. There's another nine points. I mean, sure, against Cleveland we can afford to have a guy cost us 35 points and still win by six, but will that hold up against the top teams? I doubt it.

He also failed to hustle on the boards. He was tied for third for rebounds last night and out-rebounded by Daniel Theis who only played for 30 minutes versus Hayward's 34. Yet Theis only makes a fraction of what Hayward does!

If Hayward continues on this pace, I simply don't see how we can possibly win with him.*

Hey, I'm taking all suggestions in an attempt to dump that clown. We just can't afford any more nights from him like last night.

Maybe we can put Hayward and Kemba in a trade and get Kyrie back!

Sell high.

I was just thinking about this in the all-star thread I created, but people may not realize how good Hayward's stats have been this year, especially after last nights outburst.

He is now averaging 20, 7 and 4.5 on 56, 50 and 83% splits. Wow. Definitely all-star level numbers

Sadly, someone may read the headline and take this seriously.

How can we make the salaries work??&%$!!

You couldnt get a bag of donuts for him at this point.

I was never one of those clamoring to "get rid" of Hayward but the devil's advocate in me also cautions about getting too giddy with his recent success.  He had some great games last season too.

Realistically, him playing better could make it more likely that he gets traded for a big, in a contrarian sort of way.

How ever it works out, him playing better is better for the Celtics so it is great to see him playing at his full ability.  Good for him.  He had to have worked extremely hard to get back to this point.

Well, I did see a young big man with a really cute per-36 stat line.   We get him here and let him play more then 5 minutes every third game, I think we got something.   


The Celtics may have to take back a bad contract to get them to absorb Hayward but...
