He's apparently torn. Again, to me that seems like he's wanting to leave, but feels bad about it.

Agreed.  That's the best news I've heard yet.  He's coming to Boston.

He's coming to Boston. That's my bet.

Torn between who? Utah and Boston? Utah and Miami?

Seems that one team has been eliminated...if he is torn this late in the process...then it means Utah did not get it done today

This is good for Celtic fans. I feel like at this point it's between the Celts and Utah. He would not spurn his ex coach for Spoelstra and a worse team with less assets to build around him. It's gotta come down to what he truly feels and not his friends (Ingles, Gobert) feelings. Come on over to the East you're already penciled into the All Star game and the playoffs.

He's going to wuss out.. Stay in Utah and have a career in obscurity

Horford needs to give him a call. He had the same experience last year.

Or PP and KG need to book it to his house and toss a bag over his head, and drag him to Boston with KG screaming "It is Poooosssssibleeee!!!" the entire way.

Torn between Utah and Stevens...

He wrote a Players Tribune about "The Loss" with Butler and how it strived him for greatness.

Maybe tomorrow, he "finishes" it by saying, "I have a 2nd chance with CBS, lets do this!"

Sure feels that way...Great...stay in utah...be a loyal guy who makes the playoffs once every few years to get bounced early.

Gordon Hayward will sleep on his decision to go to Utah, Boston, or Miami, I'm told. Another July 4 declaration it is...

I'm glad he can sleep on it, I wont be. I'll wake up every hour checking my phone. LOL

One thing people are sleeping on is the chance he was planning on Boston all long. If he was planning on Utah he wouldn't have bothered with most of this. No reason he would have expected Miami to be decent. But Boston? There have been rumors for years. There was the shamrock tweet by his wife a couple months ago.

There's a decent chance he and the Celtics had this planned.

And that's not homerism, it's just common sense.

Or maybe he's really torn, but writing drafts of his "goodbye" posts to Utah fans already

Ok Tatum the truth. I need more good news. Come on @gordonhayward I'll be ur personal security

Pot Roast helping us out! 

I wish his career with the Patriots was longer though, and more defined, but oh well. 

[celticinorlando]

Still deep down inside am worried Miami backdoors this thing and gets him.

Also if he is so loyal to Utah..why did he try to leave a few years back?

[Phantom255x]

I'll say this.

Miami fans are REALLY annoying... Just read all their comments/replies on Twitter.

Seriously, "we can be a top-3 seed in this weak East w/Hayward", "we can have a better chance vs. Cleveland going forward", "we finished the season 30-11. there's our banner", blah blah blah 

[celticinorlando]

Miami signs Hayward...they cannot resign Waiters or James Johnson. Maybe one of them but it will take a ton of work to do this.

I just don't see enough talent on that roster to being anything more than a low seed in the East.
