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

[RLewis35]

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.

Eh.  He may tell the teams personally about his decision before he tweets, posts or whatever.  That's where you could see a leak happen.

Starting to like our chances

Just got home from work here in The Netherlands, been extremely unproductive due to checking twitter with one phone and celticsblog with the other phone during the day...

Everybody wants this to be over and please let it be a great day! Happy to see the positives vibes again, I think Baynes is pretty legit... felt our chances increasing once I found Gordon would sleep over it.

In the meantime in SD...
Gordon is just about to wake up and telling Robyn, I'm positive we are going to move to Boston, Robyn: great decision, we and our kids will be loved over there. Hayward: alright let's have breakfast, chill a bit, let the fans kill themselves on twitter, instagram, celticsblog and then i'll write an article for the players tribune which will be released at noon actually, 3 hours from now!

You think the first moment Hayward speaks of it is when he announces it in a press conference setting?  He could easily tell a few people in his inner circle, and from there it's just a matter of loose lips.  Not saying that Twitter account is verification of anything, but it isn't a fake account just trying to stir things up either.

Nah. I bet he announces it via players tribune. I suppose it's possible it leaks but it sure as hell isnt leaking to a joe schmoe fan account with 5000 followers. If it's woj or shams or someone like that I'd obviously buy it but most of the "reports" you'll see are total bs.

Oh I definitely agree that account isn't verification.  Was merely pointing out that it does have a record of getting these things right in the past at least on a low level.

Let me rephrase. Hayward has agreed to terms with team and is signing with the Celtics. It's a done deal

Isn't he one of the guys that claimed we were trading for Blake last year?

has this been confirmed anywhere else yet?

[GreenCoffeeBean]

Does anyone else ever feel like we're so obsessed over signing this guy that we've completely forgot that it's just Gordon Hayward?

We've had hearts broken from Cousins, Butler, and George. We rarely get free agency considerations from big-namers. Al Horford set a domino effect so far. Kevin Durant nearly came.

Gordon Hayward is someone the Celtics desperately need!!

It's a big roster upgrade and we should be excited. I think we're all clear this isn't the second coming of Jesus.

Looks like he's a producer at 98.5. Those guys are notorious for making up rumors from supposed inside sources to generate a couple hours of content in the dead of the summer.

If he ends up being right, just further proof that a lying clock is right twice a blue moon or whatever.
