CelticsBlog article says Hayward signed for "near the max." Any chance this means he's taken less than the max so the Celtics don't need to give anyone up?

  • Sometimes there's no sane reason for optimism
I noticed that, too. Maybe it's so we can keep Rozier(?) or maybe we are just reading too much into it.

Either way, awesome awesome news - Danny's offseason plan has come to fruition. He deserves a LOT of credit!

I think it means we can shed Rozier but don't have to move AB, crowder, or Smart.

I know news is on hold for the moment, but my understanding was that they'd have room for a max player if they could rid themselves of just a few million $. If Hayward took even a little less than the max, wouldn't that mean they could keep everyone?

I think KO is a forgone conclusion.  Hayward would have to take significantly less if we want to keep KO.  That's not happening.
