The Boston Celtics have been aggressively trying to create enough salary cap room to give Gordon Hayward the four-year, $128 million maximum contract he agreed upon by discussing trades involving Marcus Smart, Jae Crowder and Avery Bradley, sources told ESPN.

The Celtics have to make a complicated series of moves to create enough to sign Hayward to the full max. But because the salary cap did not rise as much as projected, they will likely have to trade one or more of those three players to sign Hayward. Sources told ESPN that Boston has discussed trade concepts involving those players with at least half a dozen teams on Wednesday.

Three of our better defenders and also two that show the most attitude on the court. We're losing the grit!

I don't like that 25% of our rotation players right now don't know if they will be on the team in a few weeks. Seems like a poor situation

Not a surprise. Just hope it gets dealt with relatively quickly.

It's a good thing skill beats grit.

What potential bigs out there could we be getting back that would work to fit in Hayward? Or will a trade be for just cap space?

im about to be as sad as when perk got traded when one of these guys go  :'(

It's not often players who epitomize Celtics heart and grit come along. Players like these 3 guys are the reason I love the game. They all have their short comings as players, but leave it all out on the court every night.

Danny doesn't seem to be the one with the leverage seeing as other GM's know [dang] well he probably has to get rid of at least 2 of these guys.

Still hoping for a Crowder for Labissiere trade  ;D
