dont know if this is true or not...

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

Who is Dan Lifshatz? Where are my FBI people in Celtics Blog? Help me do a thorough research on him!!

He's a producer on 98.5FM. Pretty legit I guess but who knows..

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?

He's as good as Paul George, who everyone was drooling for, except we don't have to trade anything for him.

It would also be the second year in a row the Celtics would land the second best free agent AND add a top 3 rookie.

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

Pretty sure.

I don't think this guy is reliable at all... Just another troll in the local media...

Yeah he's on 98.5 but he's not someone who breaks news

People have too much myopia about these things. Whenever a player has a chance of coming to Boston it's life or death. At least until the next potential FA or trade rumor pops up lol. IF we get Hayward, we're probably a 55-60 win team, with plenty of assets to go get that final piece that puts us over the top. If I had to guess, Ainge is hoarding assets to throw them all at the Pelicans for AD..

Also worth noting that Boston is not leaking that Hayward signed with them.

If the news leaks (and I don't think it will) it will be leaked by a team who Hayward informed he was not signing with. This means when a local Boston reporter reports it, they've most likely made it up.

98.5 producers do not have inside sources. They unabashedly fabricate rumors to talk about during their shows especially during the dog days of summer.  Can't think of any examples off the top of my head but I've literally never heard any "rumor" they've floated either come to fruition or be confirmed by a legitimate source.

Is it good for us if this takes longer, or bad?

I think the longer it takes, the more likely he doesn't return to Utah, but I don't think it means anything about Boston versus Miami.

Oh God...

With Gordon Hayward and Alexandre Lacazette holding off their decisions, this is too much anxiety for me to handle.

I need a milkshake.

This dude needs to spell check and hit submit on his Players' Tribune article already. He's barely an All Star and he's completely holding up the rest of free agency/my life.

Perspective: Its only 9:30am where he is. Maybe he just wants to eat cheerios first.

It is incredibly inconsiderate of him. Taking away from family BBQs and such on America's birthday.

Maybe it is not the type of character we need on the team.

I say we move on to someone else.

I'm in the West Coast and I've been checking my phone in my bed since 7:58 LOL. But I'm up and engaged in my computer screen right now...
