2016-2017 Gordon Hayward Thread (We Did It Guys! Fireworks!!!)

[Roy H.]

league source tells CSNNE.com that the 27-year-old will sign a four-year, $127.8 million deal that will likely include a player option after the third season.

[celticinorlando]

Now they are saying he is p---ed and re evaluating everything.

Who is?

Blakeley quoting Haywa

But he is p---ed at who? It is not the Celtics that leaked the info. Why should the Celtics be punished?

Not sure. Maybe that it got out early

[celtics2030]

Frankly, it's clear what happened.

Hayward chose Boston. Planned to tell Utah + Celtics himself, on his own terms. Some idiot in Hayward's camp leaked it. Others confirmed it because it was true. Now, Hayward's agent is doing damage control because it's a terrible look to have something like this come out on twitter without first informing teams.

That's the only way this all makes sense. Credible media guys have cited sources plural in Hayward's camp--there's zero incentive for guys in Hayward's camp to make this up.

I mean you don't think UTAH looks at like you lol?

At this point it's worse than actually saying it.

[Rosco917]

This sad! Poorly handled for sure.

[Phantom255x]

LOL A Sherrod tweets that, then comes back with an article saying it's happened..

What?!?

[mahcus smaht]

Sounds like the C's needed to renounce and waive a few players like KO to make the deal go threw first.

Not sure why since they don't sign for a couple days.

Agent shouldn't be p---ed at the C's, they don't tend to leak anything. Part of the reason Woj is on the outs.

Yeah, don't think leak is from boston. It's got to be from haywards camp. He's got a right to be p---ed but hopefully not at Boston.0

Gordon Hayward will become the most hated man in Boston if he changes his mind.

He hasn't done anything wrong. Even his pick is the Jazz.

Of course today's world we will trash the wrong person.

The people that should be getting blame is everybody around Hayward

Exactly. He needs to fire whoever it is handling his PR.

Just him holding up this decision ON A NATIONAL HOLIDAY is irking many of us Celtics fans. Now this is happening and he wanting to reevaluate...I think he does deserve the scrutiny for the hold up, plus the PR around him.

[danglertx]

This is shades of A-Rod to Boston.

**** you're right. Premature leak p---ed a rod off and ultimately he joined a rival.

@miamiheat

I'd cry tbh.

That isn't what happened with A-Rod at all.  Not even close.  ARod was a trade that got cancelled because the restructuring of his contract wasn't allowed and New York came on and just took all of his contract.  Had nothing to do with ARod being mad.

[Phantom255x]

I'm no Trump supporter, and disagree with a lot of his stances.

BUT, he *might* not entirely be wrong about the media these days...

Celtics fans are clearly too entitled, then.

This is a Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.ing mess right now

[celticinorlando]

Sean Devaney: Speculation here, but a couple agents said their guess is sign-and-trade details or a separate Celtics trade is holding up Gordon Hayward.

Beat writer for Salt Lake paper saying Hayward has changed his mind four times in the last four days

Tony Jones‏ @tribjazz

League source tells me "Gordon has changed his mind four times in the last four days"

It did leak early.
A rod was p---ed off by this.
A rod ends up on a rival.

3 facts.  Nothing in my post is wrong.
