Hayward --> Celtics ?

You stupid stupid people. Don't you know Hayward will not get ANY offers from ANYONE else this year?

DL values him, but just not at the price - whatever that was - that Gordon and his agent asked for. Jazz did put a contract offer on the table. Hayward wanted more.

Seriously, though, the "league source" could be the Celtic's hot dog vendor. When any team is losing, it's automatically assumed they have to "rebuild" and may accept draft picks for their better players. Jazz don't have to deal and I'd be surprised if this trade goes down. In any case, I'm sure DL would be smart enough to only accept a pick with ZERO restrictions. If Ainge wants top-3 protection, you walk away from the table. And for that reason, I think Boston does the same. They can always revisit a trade after the draft, exchanging the rights to their pick for Hayward.

Once the trade deadline passes this week and Hayward enters restricted free agency, the only other option for Boston would be a sign-and-trade. Basically, the Jazz would have to do Boston a favor.

Avery Bradley for Gordon Hayward!​
That would be lovely! However Utah has been known for their silence at the trade deadline in years past. They even let Big Al AND Millsap walk away for free last year. These guys are either asking way too much for their players or have supreme confidence (bordering on crazy) in their development of young players​

Love the response by some. Yep, we should let Hayward go for Avery Bradley. Otherwise we're just asking for too much. You know why Boston is in this terrible situation? Because they were afraid to let a couple of their players walk away for nothing and are now stuck with the horrible Gerald Wallace contract.

Now they have no room to manuever next season without giving up good assets. They're stuck.​

The Jazz made a statement (via Chad Ford) to say they expect to keep Hayward long-term, which is basically code for "Your offer has to be really solid, or we're not going to move him." Of course, there's no need to make such a statement unless he's coming up in trade discussion that the Jazz are willing to entertain.

I agree. This accomplishes two things. 1) What you said, and 2) Scares away potential suitors from making an offer on Hayward in the offseason which in effect reduces his value...Jazz can get him cheap.

Although one way it could be possible is if:
A. Boston is not confident in thier tank.... they think they will end up around 7th due to the strength of other teams tanks and rondo being back.
B. They think gordon is going to improve ALOT and end up similar to paul george. (I hear thier coach loves hayward right?)

If those 2 things are true then they might look at it like trading vonleh or gordon (7th pick) for paul george (hayward)

That would look like a good trade from thier perspective
