I wouldn't rule out Hayward leaving Utah.  He already said he will go where he feels he can win a ring, and Utah has struggled a little bit as of late.

Boston has been on fire lately, and Hayward fits our needs.  The Butler/Stevens connection is a huge plus as well.

Boston recently beat Utah.  We are already better than they are, and adding Hayward would make us even better than we are now.  I'm sure he has at least thought about playing in Boston.

Edit:. Just wanted to add that Hayward in Boston would mean a shared load for both Gordon and IT.  Each of those two are being asked to play the lead role offensively for their teams, and would compliment each other well on the same team.

Will Hayward give up that much money to join Celtics? and even he does what do you do with Crowder?

I don't see Crowder as a starter in a championship team. As a SF/PF (small ball) backup playing 25 minutes a game, he would be more valuable. We need a Posey off the bench.

In any case, he is a player whose contract will be very valuable for us after 2018, after the big payments.

Danny's holding out for a bigger fish - either at the trade deadline or this summer.  He likes this team a lot - as do I.  And its really hard to find a rebounder/rim protector that fits in Brad's system.

No reason why Crowder and Hayward can't play -- and play well -- on the same team.

Of course, as I have said.

Yeah I don't see how we can't make it work honestly..

I do think that makes Bradley more expendable in a trade, especially with IT and Smart likely getting extended after 2018.
