Let the craziness begin - IT follows Hayward on Twitter

[kozlodoev]

what kind of player can bradley and crowder get us up front?

Tristen Thompson type?

ugh.   i was hoping for more like a steven adams level.    i don't know how much it would change the culture to drop bradley and crowder though.

I thought Thompson was better than Adams this season though...

Obviously this doesn't really mean anything, but it does seem to cement the narrative that Hayward is going to be our top priority this offseason.

I wonder how Crowder feels right about now. 

After what happened at the trade deadline, I'd expect the general fandom to be a tad more difficult to troll. Guess not.

Is there any other Koz setting outside of sarcastic ****? 

Yeah, the boring version?

But seriously, after the emoji affair last time, I'm not taking anything for a fact until the team calls a presser.

I normally love this type of social media stuff, but this combined with Hayward's wife's instagram has gotten my hopes up really high.

I believe it's a 40% chance he signs with us, but now the social media stuff has made me expect that he will sign with himself.

Man I'm going to be really let down if he stays in Utah or goes to Miami.

You could be right.  I don't watch OKC much.   Just didn't like Thompson in the playoffs.   They're in the same tier.   Danny would probably want something higher.

Making sure, but is this even real?

Some people are saying the pic is Photoshop and that's not even Hayward's account lol? 

Ha! I didn't even check. I figured Forsberg was a reliable enough Celtics source to trust. I guess not.

I'm not on either Twitter or Instagram, so I don't even think I can search their pages without creating a Twitter handle/account. I see most of these NBA tweets off of the Bleacher Report Team Stream app.

This is real. Both accounts matchup to theirs on Instagram. Not that it means anything but Isaiah Thomas did in fact follow Gordon Hayward on instagram 1 day after the season ends. IT is master troller.

Just faked a potentially fatal infectious disease in order to go home and investigate this story.

Hahahaha

Just followed?

No bug eyes yet? That's when you know it's real!

Remind me again, but when did IT post the eyeball tweet LAST summer and how long after did Horford announce his signing?

The plot thickens: now Al Horford is following Hayward. 

Perhaps we can get a little market going between Hayward and Griffin for who wants to play here more!

Get them to bid against each other. "Who's willing to take the most under the max?" Man, at this rate we might be able to hang on to nearly everyone and add an All-Star .

Now's the time to strike -- Trade IT for Saric and make it impossible for Hayward to stay in Utah.

I think it's just overeager fans in general, but yes.
