Gordon Hayward is a nice player who had a breakout year. But I wouldn't take him over a single player who made last yr's East All-Star team.

Skip Bayless is A CLOWN.

Definitively better than at least half of the EC all star team.

I'd definitely take him over Melo, but every other SG/SF is debatable imo.

[Hank Finkel]

Now...Deal Crowder and find a big

Agreed.  We have no big men at all now.  Amir and KO. Our two biggest players are gone and we couldn't rebound with them. Please a big rebounder who is tough.

Melo, DeRozan, Kemba, Millsap, Love, and Kyrie. If we're just talking about last year, Hayward was better than George last year, too.

Just so it's said somewhere:  Danny's off-season so far:

Significant additions to the roster: Gordon Hayward, Ante Zizic, Jayson Tatum.   
Significant added assets: Protected 1st round selection in '18 or '19 (LAL/Sac/Philly)
Significant losses to the roster: Amir Johnson; TBD

The tale of the tape won't be clear till we see the asset fallout from the Hayward signing.  We'll lose KO, JJ, GG and one (or more) of Jae, Smart and Bradley.  We'll add Daniel Theis, Abdel Nader, and what appears to be a good-looking 2nd Rounder ("Semi") to replace bench/ late rotation players.

And Danny will have a move or 2 still to come to add some power up front and maybe bring back GG or JJ...?

Pretty dang good off-season.  Moving in the right direction while protecting/growing future asset.  Thanks Danny.

I'm just so happy.     /end Kreiger voice

Ha! I love it!

Oh trust me, I'm like an encyclopedia of Kreiger quotes lol. He is my favorite character on Archer.

"Also yes." Lol

These were always my two favorite quotes:

Can't give you another TP, because I just gave you one for your Archer reference in a different thread!

I'll just give you one instead, because, well...

Just Skip yet again trashing Boston though.

He was also mad the C's passed on the legendary Lonzo Ball who would have helped us beat CLE next year..

Exactly, Skip is just a fool. Hayward is very underrated.

So after much huffing and puffing, character assassination, reading stuff in between the lines that wasn't there and tons of confirmation bias....can everyone be happy that Hayward is a Celtic and start celebrating Independence Day. After all, Wyc finally delivered on his fireworks statement.

Glad, Hayward is a Celtic. He is a great pick up and addresses so many needs offensively.

Glad, Kelly Olynyk, James Young and Jordan Mickey will no longer be Celtics.

Glad Gordon gave/made this decision just before I was leaving to see fireworks.

Glad to be a Celtic fan

Glad Danny Ainge and Brad Stevens are running my team.

Happy Independence Day everyone.

Amen!

Yes! I watched finale of Wentworth and came back to blog to see tons of pages! So excited in what Danny and Stevens have accomplished. We are a free agent destination and so close to a super team. Our future next ten years will be the stuff of legends!

How we get a super team:
1. Crowder, Smart and parts and top laker or nets pick for disgruntled super star. Lets see what transpires in 17-18 with Davis and Westbrook and maybe George and Porzingis....

OR

2. One of Brown, Tatum, Nets 18 and Lakers 18 turn into super stars. It could be very likely it will happen with one and most possible two..imagine if we hit it on 3 or 4 and combine that with Hayward, IT and Horford.....Loving what I see in front of me

Fireworks baby! Celtics 18 could happen in 18..just saying:)

[CelticsElite]

The best part is we keep all our picks

We could very well add 2 elite prospects: Porter and Ayton next year if the Lakers and nets continue to suck

It/rozier
Bradley
hayward/brown
Tatum/porter
Horford/ayton
