As much as I love Gordon Hayward and his game, his acquisition wouldn't move the needle much for BOS in a 7 game series with CLE.
LeBron would run roughshod over him - and AGAIN I love Hayward.
Can Hayward play SG? If THAT, then what about AB?
As for the clip that JSD just posted - "IT" is probably there - the RACE card. It is an UNFORTUNATE thing, though, BUT in THIS case it doesn't apply I believe.
I've seen it first hand since I was a teenager - "Man, why do you like BOSTON?" (My black friends growing up).
Even in my Navy days - just a few years ago on my last ship (Nimitz) before I retired I came across a young sailor in his mid 20s. He was a sharp and intelligent fellow and he was one of the better sailors in a good division of many. He knew I loved The Boston Celtics but he mentioned to me that his young sister had a negative incident in BOS and he believed that it was Race-related.
I told him that while BOS has an unfair Racial tone towards it such an incident with his sister was more than likely isolated and likely to happen in ANY city in America.
With all this being said I believe we should let Jae move on. He's a fine player who I believe is getting better, has been praised by Phil Jackson as a player he missed out on AND he's a Boston Celtic - NOT Gordon Hayward.
I stand behind Jae.
