Ughh not good hes probably having cold feet and gonna return on a 2 year deal or something watch

Brad Stevens needs to call him right now and knock some sense into him 

Geez, if someone,leaked his decsion early he just needs to take control of all this and make an announcement.

My opinion of Hayward is starting to drop.

Yeah, it's starting to reek of immaturity if he truly is flip-flopping back and forth like this.

I honestly think this is mostly damage control and the deal is already done, but it would be a terrible look for him if he really was this indecisive.

You guys are acting ridiculously. Even if he's undecided, it doesn't mean he has flawed character.  He's making a major decision about the future for his family. Can't he have a day?

I guess we just need to relax and if it happens it happens. It is a big decision for him he'll decide when he is (eventually) ready. Sucks to be waiting but a lot of people agonize about career decisions, especially having come from somewhere they have been for a while.

[Surferdad]

This drama is sucking all the air out of what should be a very exciting decision. Not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, which day in July will he decide?

Multiple days, of course!

It's on ESPN - officially.

WELCOME TO BOSTON Gordon and Robyn!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO  tears of joy.

Right now ESPN reporting it as is holds no water when his agent and Utah pres are saying no intentions have been stated.

This isn’t looking good.

I hope ESPN hasn't goofed this up.

They normally get it right..

Deflategate.

No, if he needed 5 days he should have said that, but he said he would decide quickly. Then he did decide, then he undecided, a very bad look.

Link to any of that being fact?

Maybe that's the plan. Announce his decision like 2 minutes before the actual fireworks go up in Boston tonight.

Either that or this whole thing is a joke...

A day? This is literally the 4th day, and if reputable reporters from SLC are to be believed, he's flip-flopped back and forth every day. That does show a bit of immaturity and a lack of confidence in himself if he can't make an informed decision after these meetings. Him holding up several teams and not being able to make up his mind is a bit ridiculous at this point.

Again, the most logical course of action is that he's already decided to go to Boston and this is just damage control. But to me at least, I do think it shows something about his character if he's not confident enough himself to make such a decision with confidence. That's not alpha/leader material.

At least KD owned his move and decision and never wavered.

Just finished work. Time to go celebrate 'Murcia.  Drop us a line later, Gordy.

[kraidstar]

Has to be Boston clearing space

That literally makes no sense. You DO NOT have to already have it cleared if he's just agreeing to sign with us right now. There are numerous examples of this, specifically the Chris Paul trade the other day.

This isn't anything about clearing space.

I guess it could be something like a sign and trade, but I'm not sure that makes much sense either unless we're getting something like Hayward AND Favors in the deal in exchange for someone like Crowder or Bradley and some other minor draft compensation.

But wouldn't the C's conceivably lose leverage in trade scenarios if other teams KNOW we have to dump contracts because GH is definitely coming?

I could see how the C's might want to keep a lid on this.
