Boston to make huge push for Hayward

So I guess this is from a podcast? I would like to know how the Celtics make a sizable offer without going nuts since they can't amnesty Wallace. I guess they could amnesty Bass, otherwise, they'd have to trade/not offer a QO to Avery Bradley and Jordan Crawford or trade Rondo for expirings.

summary from jazzbasketball.wordpress.com.

Includes some subtle swipes at tyco...

Lowe: “It wouldn’t surprise me, Hayward is the one restricted guy that I look at and say ‘You might be able to get this guy if you really love him, you’re confident that his sort of decline statistically this season is just because he’s on a horrible team where he has to do too much and he’s young – and you throw a huge offer at him…he’s the one guy of the restricted free agents you might be able to get.”


Simmons: “Hayward is also young, Hayward turns 24 in March and as you said not having a great season, not having a good shooting season his threes went in the tank this year he’s 31% right now, last year he was 42%. Umm, but again he’s on a terrible team, it’s not a well-coached team, I would say going from Ty Corbin to Brad Stevens would be a slight upgrade especially the way Stevens knows how to use him and I think the Celtics could construct an offer and get to, you know starting at $13 million that could probably get to like $58 million for 4 years and that puts Utah in a really interesting spot because…where-where did they – they didn’t even want to pay him what – 4 for $45 (million) as an extension? Something like that or did he want the max?”

And this is a surprise? candrew told you this two years ago.

He's been wanted in Boston ever since that double block at the rim when 50,000 Southies simultaneously creamed their jeans

Listen to that crowd - they started fitting him for a Celtic Jersey that night.

The Jazz FO should leak bogus information to the media saying that they will match whatever offer Hayward gets and have no problem giving him a max deal. This does one of two things:

1) Ensures any team truly interested in Hayward will have to make a huge offer. If someone else wants him, make them pay through their nose.

2) Scares away teams from giving Hayward an offer, Jazz low ball him and re-sign him on a sweet deal.
 
Simmons is a big Celtics fan, so I think there is some wishful thinking and/or inner fanboy talking

what a terrible trade.

What the eff is Utah going to do with a hobbling high paid, bad attitude Rondo, that will skip town soon as the contract is up (after next year)? I wouldn't even trade Burke straight up for him. Rookie deals are worth a ton in the NBA. Especially for a team that CANT attract championship worthy talent. Besides that, it doesn't fit the direction of the team. We arent ready to contend right now and when Favors is ready, Rondo probably wont be.
