Gordon on moving to Celtics

I also look at all the hate Ray Allen has gotten because he left and just laugh... dude won a championship for them and is beyond professional. He opted out to join a real contender and they will never forgive him or retire his number. I'm just not sure Hayward knows what he signed up for.

I just have a feeling we are going to come out of this a lot better than people think.

-Hood steps up offensive role
-Favors monster contract year
-DM
-Gobert
-Rudio running the PnR
-Ingles 3pt %
-JJ going back to small forward
-Exum looks ready to take a big step
-3 solid new bench additions

I'm pretty damn excited for the future. DM and Gobert are two stars in the making. We'll add another shooter via trade, or next offseason.
No reason to look back. We have a group that will play hard together, and be exciting to watch.

The whole team is playing with one agenda too. We don't have anyone that we need to impress so that he will stay. Should be a fun year... just praying for health at key spots.

Damn mate! Can you belief Jingling Joe had the lowest usage rate of everyone last season an Lyles was top 5? So we lost 3 are top 5 an brought in Rubio. Replace a shoot first guard for Rubio an what you think use rate is gonna change to from Hayward dominance an losing Lyles useless arse? Rodney an Alec round out the top 5 an Rodney is a poor man's Haywood at this point but there games are similar he needs to put on some weight an I wish DL an the org would talk about his progress more.

I didn't say it's knockable. I just disagree with your statement that if someone tells the truth then you can't knock them.

My statement was that you can't knock a guy for telling the truth, not that if someone tells the truth you can't knock them for anything. Meaning there may be good reasons to be upset with Hayward, but being upset with him because he came out and told the truth isn't one of them.
 
What do you want to bet Hayward sits out the Utah game with flu like symptoms or knee soreness or some BS.

I do think the narrative that he never bought in to Itah is false. Dude gave us what he had for his time here. I appreciate it.

I wish he would have stayed and bought in to what we are building but he left. Not gonna kill him for it. Wish he would have been a little more direct with how he was leaning and the Fourth of July was a **** show. Again though... even that is okay because now I can feel justified in booing him and he gave us a villain to help bond the remaining guys.

I don't think it's a false narrative at all. I think Gordon has a lot of integrity, loves playing basketball, and his work ethic is top notch. I think he gave the Utah Jazz everything he had not because he liked it here, but because that's who he is as a player. Let's face it, his feelings about this place and the organization would have to be described as lukewarm at best. He never really publicly embraced being here and left an ascending team with good young talent the first chance he got.
 
I never liked the guy...glad he's gone. Karma is a bitch, something will happen to derail his career and I won't feel one bit bad about it. I'm kinda "torn" now as to who is the most sleaziest, dishonest former Jazz player ever: Fisher or Haywood. That's a tough one...
