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

[CelticsElite]

I wonder if they went to chipotle 


Was there any word after the horford meeting last year? I think it was quiet too

[PAOBoston]

Well, they did what they had to do. Now, we wait. Up to GH.

[tarheelsxxiii]

No word yet at al about how the meeting went. I don't know if that's a good or bad sign.

Hopefully they did due diligence in preparation.  I'd hope the pitch was very much basketball oriented and Brad demonstrated aawareness of all the ways GH has grown - and how that can be utilized in Boston.

quiet is good IMO.

Yeah, this whole Hayward meeting process has been exceedingly tight-lipped. It's kind of strange.

[jpotter33]

But I'm not alone in thinking that Hayward spent much more time with Boston than he did in Miami, right? It seemed like he spent some of last night and all day today meeting with Boston, yet he only spent a few hours actually meeting with Miami.

True, but isn't that the general MO of the Celtics front office?

When does haywards meeting with Utah end? Has he given an indication on when he will announce his choice?

EDIT:  never mind,  just found this.

The best news for us is the report that Gordon is looking for a three year deal.  It not only means Utah can't offer that much more money but that Gordon is picking the team where he wants to get the full five year max after that.

Didn't play much last year, but appreciated him being our starting center a couple years back on the way to the playoffs.  He has his limitations, but can score decent around the hoop and runs the floor well.  Should be able to find a backup gig somewhere.

And I will never forget his last second game winner against the evil and dispicable Utah jazz and that a hole Gordon Hay.... hey! Wait a minute!!

I WANT TO BELIEVE

[Neurotic Guy]

I can't say I have a good feeling about Hayward signing with Boston, but I have very little to base that opinion on.   I just hope they get him.

Hayward meets with Utah tomorrow in San Diego. He's supposed to make his decision by Tuesday or Wednesday.

I think it'd be a great sign for us if he doesn't commit to resign with Utah in tomorrow's meeting with them. It's probably a sign that he's leaving if he doesn't commit to them during their meeting tomorrow.

me too.....not getting George kinda killed my hopes .

im hopeful it works out for C's ........just have a bad feeling it won't.

Utah to me is not a big concern than Miami because:

1. The 5 year deal is not something he seems to want...thus crossing off the huge money gap

2. He has ALREADY tried to leave Utah..for Charlotte of all places.

3. The Jazz have done nothing to improve their team. What can they tell him they are going to do? They have no assets, high picks or cap money to bring in even a second big time player.

4. Wifey does not like living in Utah

5. Utah is not going to be anything but a 6 or 7 seed. Houston, GS, SA and even Minnesota have better rosters than the Jazz. Heck OKC should pass them now

6. He just seems like a Boston guy. Blue collar. And it was Brad Stevens that was the first person that told him he could be an NBA player. So anything Stevens says now should hold weight

It's hard not to read to much into things but his wife posted this on her Instagram. They look super happy.
