[cltc5]

Apparent the WoJ tweet was a buffer.  I've been told heyward to Boston announcement coming in the half hour.  And yes my news has been accurate from a rumor standpoint this whole time so

League source tells me "Gordon has changed his mind four times in the last four days"

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?

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.

Grow up!  Your too obsessed

Remember when Delonte gave him a wet willy and he decided to just take it? Dude is timid.

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?

C'mon just look back on this very thread and related ones. He said Tuesday or Wedensday. If he needed an extra day to Wedensday he should not have allowed the information to get out. He is in control of what he thinks, but apparently he trusted someone he should not have trusted.

 I am beginning to get sick about this whole thing

He had a day. Actually he had weeks, months to think about it. Now it's just about the details. If he can't figure that out or can't decide because he just wants to keep everybody happy, that's just weak. You can't rely on a guy like that. Maybe he has become a Mormon over there.

Let's assume that he actually hadn't made a decision, then still he should've immediately reacted that this was a false report.

[jpotter33]

Another reason why this indecision/stalling is a bad look for Hayward - he's holding up pretty much all of free agency with his decision, which hurts both teams and free agents.

Fellow NBA free agents are annoyed by this Gordon Hayward mess. They've been waiting on the GH domino to fall, and now it's being drawn out.

TP I am as well.  IMO the longer this plays out the worse it is for Boston.

[jpotter33]

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.

That never happens, though. People said the same thing about GS needing to trade Bogut last year for space for KD, yet they did that really easily.
