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

[ashanm10]

I won't be at ease until tomorrow when he visits Boston 

I wonder what's happening right now at Miami... 

Beach Parties and shiz XD

Meanwhile, Celtics fans like me are like...

Our time will come, we are CELTICS!

[CelticsElite]

The guy who reported "Miami as favorite" also did not vote for bradley for all-defensive team and probably voted for Beverly over him

Three league sources sense the current favorite for Gordon Hayward is Miami. Reasons: better lifestyle, Spoelstra, "feature scoring role."

Lifestyle: It's 90 degrees with 64% humidity in Miami today.

Coaches: I'm not saying that Spoelstra isn't talented, but c'mon, Brad was his college coach and prepared him for the NBA.

Feature Scoring Role: No idea where that is coming from. If there's one thing that we are bringing him in to do, it's to score.

C'mon, Gordon, you're in Hufflepuff now and being offered the chance to go to Gryffindor. Pat Riley is just Slytherin's snake.

Don't allow yourself to be beguiled by Cersei or the Lannister Gold.  You can come to Boston and be King of the North!!

Oh don't worry. This is how the days will go:

Saturday: "Heat emerging as favorites to land Hayward"

Sunday: "Celtics emerging as favorites to land Hayward"

Monday: "Jazz look VERY LIKELY to keep Hayward"

Then Tuesday is "Decision Day".

[jpotter33]

Just to be clear, there's nothing at all surprising or interesting about the story following the Miami meeting being that "Miami Now Favorites."

Yep. This is the status quo after major free agent meetings like this.

Miami has never made sense to me. We're clearly the better team, and we have quite a bit to show for it, including sweeping Miami in the season two years running and sweeping the Jazz last year.

[Pucaccia]

This stuff about "Miami Being the Favorite" is a bunch of crap.  No one knows except Hayward.
If any coach has a "in" it's Brad Stevens, not Spoelstra.  Plus if anyone has an advantage it should be the JAZZ. It's very hard leaving a place you are comfortable.  Don't put any stock into rumors until the process is played out. This isn't CNN.

Boston is the only team that already has a playmaking high scoring all star. Hayward is a smart dude. He knows that he is not an alpha dog. IT is. He gets to play next to an alpha dog, a guy who will create a lot of bunny jumpers for him, and also gets a max contract. Oh and he gets to play with a coach who was the first person on earth who convinced him he was going to be an NBA player.

If Hayward is strictly making a basketball decision, it will be Boston, and it's not even a close call.

[Phantom255x]

Alright alright guys I'll remove the update from the thread title 

[j804]

So it's looking more and more like whiffs on Butler, Cousins, PG, Hayward. There's no way around this if we come up empty it's a major fail by Danny.

I Agree with this and will be shocked if Hayward doesn't come to Boston. The fit is perfect.

I don't see how we can miss on Hayward.  If so, then I agree with you.

[86MaxwellSmart]

Miami is the decoy team for Hayward---Having a meeting with them, will make him look better....Because the entire NBA and it's fans have been saying he's going to Boston, for years now.

Danny didnt whiff on cousins or butler. He didnt want cousins and shifted focus in the last year to grt hayward/george. He whiffed on george yes
