Danny Ainge will be insufferable this coming trade deadline and you know the national media will eat his BS up.
Danny Ainge reportedly wants to reunite Gordon Hayward, Brad Stevens in Boston

I dont see how it's misleading.
The Celtics have a ton of assets and want a star.
The Celtics obviously have an interest in Hayward. This is a "rumor" but we can all agree, especially with the Stevens connection, it's probably true.
Celtics are reported to overvalue assets, so they are probably offering laughable offers like deals centered around Marcus Smart.
Hayward is a free agent and *could walk*. They even offer a Woj bit saying Utah is confident they can keep him, to avoid misleading the reader.
Deals could ramp up since there is internal pressure on the Celtics.
Since there is some fear over Hayward leaving, means door is open for possible deal.
None of those things are wrong. You dont think if the Celtics came out and offered both Brooklyn picks, Jae Crowder, and Avery Bradley it wouldnt make Dennis Lindsey pause? I highly doubt that happens, but the timing of the article makes sense given the recent media attention on Jazz. It's inevitable and to get overly emotional about someone suggesting we might trade Hayward seems silly to me.
Ive seen much worse articles where people completely make up rumors, this one is based in some sort of substance that has been floating around for sometime.
As Jazz fans we are going to find pretty much every article written on the Jazz to be unnecessary because we know everything about the Jazz. The only articles we like are the ones that fluff us up or reveal insider information that only top level guys like Lowe have access to.

If injuries continue before all star break and we're unable to show Hayward this team is worth a damn, then trading him at the deadline is entirely possible IMO.

The biggest thing IMO over the Jazz head is the Hill domino. If they can't retain Hill does that cause a domino effect that causes Hayward to leave?
It certainly works against them but doesn't guarantee that Hayward leaves. Depends on what the Jazz do in response to Hill leaving.
To me the ones that appears to be the most expendable right now is Favors and Burks.
Teams that would reportedly like to have Gordon Hayward (incomplete list):
Boston
Charlotte
Indiana
LA Clippers
OKC
Phoenix
San Antonio
...a bunch of others
Not saying he'll leave, but the Spurs & Clippers might interest Gordon, given that they'd be even stronger contenders with him aboard. Or maybe he'd want to get out of the Western Conference.

Hill and his agent have made it pretty clear that Hill would prefer to stay in Utah. I'd give Hill the max if the alternative meant we lose both him and Hayward.

2 years ago Hill only played 43 games.
Last year 74 (good)
This year missing a lot.
As he ages his injuries are getting worse we need to keep that in mind...

I thought I read somewhere this week and I am paraphrasing that Hayward said "I want to win, where I live is not an issue"
He is gone.
Only way he stays is if 3 things happen
1. We get a true point guard (Hill would be fine if he can regularly play...as such he needs to be replaced)
2. Trade Burks - I do not think Burks/Hayward are buds....plus Burks does not fit any more.
3. We are at least a 4 seed this year and win at least the 1st round....
Anything else I think he is gone.....

They can have him if we get LeBron.
It is worse than making it up. He took an idea that has been around since Hayward was drafted by the Jazz and wrote an article like no one had ever brought this idea up before. I guess we also should just ignore the fact that GMs can't talk about signing any player under contract.
