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

[Ron Mexico]

If we get Crowder can we help facilitate Love coming to us? I'm sure the trade exception could really help out right?

Seeing as how DL is walking around the stadium giving ad hoc interviews to various media, it's hard to believe they are seriously working hard on an imminent deal.

So I'll go ahead and mention it... if we landed Crowder, would anyone be open to exploring Love again?

Oh, haha you just beat me to the same thought.

I was waiting for someone to mention that. Cavs are in salary cap hell.

Maybe they already have the deal in place and are just waiting for the go-ahead from Hayward.

Corey Crowder played for the Jazz in 1991-92. Here's the story about the Jazz giving his son (Jae) his old shoes.

Awesome story, how great would it be if that simple act of kindness helps Jae be super thrilled about playing for the Jazz (if the trade happens).

Ainge might have said 1st round pick and DL slammed the phone down.

That dude with the face on the left it kind of blowing my mind

Then they are dumb.

Sorry .. let me rephrase that.

I mean .. what would that mean for the Celtics?
What are their other options other than trade those that are under contract to avoid or at least go near the luxury tax line?

I think that's Duane Causwell.

As I understand it, it's not so much about luxury tax as it is about the salary cap. In order for the Celtics to pay Hayword a max contract, they have to clear salary space. So they have to trade out some salary without taking any back. That requires dealing with a team that is under the salary cap (who wants the players), or possibly with the jazz in a sign and trade.
