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

[Phantom255x]

ESPN’s Chris Haynes reported the Boston Celtics feel “really, really good” about their chances of landing top free agent Gordon Hayward. After meeting with the Celtics, Miami Heat and Utah Jazz, Hayward reportedly slept on his decision Monday night. He is expected to reveal his choice either Tuesday or Wednesday. “I will say this: I’m hearing Boston is feeling really good about their chances of getting him,” Haynes said on television. “I don’t know what that means, but I’ve been talking to people in Boston. They feel really, really good about their shot. So it’s going to be tough. He met with Utah in San Diego for over three hours last night. Ricky Rubio actually flew from Spain to go down there and be present in that meeting. So they’re laying it all out. And like I said, it would be really tough on the Jazz faithful if he were to bolt, knowing what the Jazz did to try putting themselves in position.”

Can it PLEASE be today and not Wednesday...

Not to be a wet blanket, but why would the Celtics staff be huddling at Utah SL on a day off at 9:00 AM local time with media present?

Practice? Shoot around? Hayward...

Is this true about that account last year with Horford?

For what its worth, Kevin Durant's announcement came around 11:30am.

Probably to interview Brown and Tatum

I'm a watch some Curb your enthusiasm.... hope this ends soon!

I went out and mowed the lawn, then took a shower.  Got a window here for a few hours until heading into town for the fireworks.  Gordon, now would be a good time for me.

Happy Fourth everyone! Happy refreshing!

It's another wait, just like KD. Hopefully, this story has a better ending.

Nothing but positive feelings today.  Our chances seem high.

Looking through that Twitter accounts history, I can confirm it does have a history dating back to at least 2014 of breaking news.  It broke the Horford deal a day before, and it also broke LeBron leaving Miami.

No one is "breaking this news" before Hayward announces it. People are making educated guesses so they can pretend they had an inside source when the news actually breaks.
