That's why as I said in a thread I just created...

Get on the phone with Millsap and express interest. They've already done so with Gallinari it seems.

Ingles is staying with Utah on a 4 year/52M deal.

That really stings. From what I have heard the wives are like best friends. Happy wife, happy life. And with the most money.

Celtics would have to get rid of Terry Rozier to sign Hayward right?

What's he worth in a trade?

Don't we need to see if we will be getting him before we dump a player to make it work?

Never said we didn't.  Just wondering if I have the numbers right, and wondering what others think his worth is regardless (as moving him clears room for all our other perimeter players).

Hill is DEFINITELY gone though, so maybe that helps?

Hayward and Hill were real close with one another, and not sure if going from Hill to Rubio is helping Utah all that much, especially now that you lose some of Hill's scoring.

But yeah, not good with Ingles now staying.

I think we might have to, unfortunately.

Moving from #1 to #3 saved us some cap space, but the cap went down overall (even lower than expected).

Hayward's max is now ~29.7M I believe.

That is apparently what 7.1 ppg will get you these days ...

But Isaiah Thomas (29/6) is not worth 28-30M/Year to folks around here..

It's funny how now it seems like most Celtics fans all around (media sites, etc) now think Hayward to Boston is officially dead.

Just wait for the few tweets tomorrow talking about how he's enjoying Boston and then it will all change LOL.

Or at least I hope.

I think Utah is the favorite. It all just feels like meeting with Boston is more of a courtesy to Brad because of their past.

Woj Tweet tomorrow: "Hayward's camp says meeting with the Celtics was 'underwhelming'. Likely to stay with the Jazz"

Hayward then sees Woj's tweet and thinks "wow, I guess I was way off, that meeting didn't go nearly as well as I thought!"

Not too corteous as he's caused us to miss out on the first week of FA. I think we've got a better shot than Miami and if he was really married to Utah he wouldn't be taking these meetings at all.

Not sure why people think Ingles signing with Utah is a big deal. I know if my best friend at work got a raise but then I had to decide whether a great new opportunity with huge money at a new job was offered, I wouldn't be taking into consideration my friend or wanting to work with him. Sure my old job might offer me a raise to stay but ultimately, my decision would come down to what my wife and I thought was best for us and our children. I would be happy for my friend that he got a raise and hope he would be happy for me that I decided a new opportunity was best for me and my family.

Really think posters are putting too much emphasis on Hayward's relationships with Ingles and Hill. Hayward should be thinking what's best for him and his family, not that he wants to continue to work with his buddies.

Right, but if you were debating between leaving your old job, and your best friend said "Hey, I'm leaving also" it might make you less likely to stay.
