[Jones]BREAKING: Jazz willing to engage Celtics in S&T talks: But Gordon Hayward must agree

[sgjazzfan]

I love the way this is worded. Everyone knows that the Celtics need to lose salary. By wording it this way, it makes Gordon look bad if a S&T doesn't work. They can probably get something back for Crowder, but for PR purposes, doing it in a S&T looks good for all parties. Jazz probably need to give a pick or 2 back, hopefully 2 second rounders get it done.

do Gordon and Ainge BOTH want the 5th year? If either one doesn't, not much leverage.

You can't do that anymore. That's the reason why S&T have become obsolete.

I don't believe Gordon will step forward to make this happen.

It's less about Gordon making it happen. It's more about Boston finding a team (probably easily) to give them a pick for Crowder instead of sending him to us.

This would go a long way towards showing he's sincere and wasn't trying to jerk the fan base around. But aside from his good graces there's no real reason for him to do this.

Jazz asking Boston to lube up first instead of just going in dry.

THIS. I have zero confidence that Hayward suddenly grew a conscience overnight.

What's he going to do if Ainge says no? Void his deal and sign with us? It's mostly Ainge's call.

Gordan gaylord focker wont help the jazz in any way at all. If he did agree to this it would prove he's not a total *******.

 

[akirac73]

The Jazz should engage in serious talks about making a deal work for both sides. But the Celtics will need to wait on the Jazz's decision on the Players Tribune...

 

[Ellipse]

Why on earth would Boston do this, given that Hayward has already agreed to their terms?
