Why wouldn't Crowder want to be dealt to Utah? In straight basketball terms, it makes 100% sense for him. If I were him, I'd have my agent on the line with Bartlestein, telling Mark to make it happen.

I agree. I think you may have misread what I said.
 
If it ain't Crowder, I ain't interested.

By the way, despite whatever I've gotten wrong, I was the loudest supporter of Jimmy Butler and Jae Crowder on this board during their respective drafts.

There is motivation for Ainge to trade Crowder. And to trade him to the Jazz specifically. First of all the Celtics obviously have to trade someone without taking salary back to be able to sign Hayward. Second, there was the whole situation where Crowder got upset last year at Boston fans cheering for Hayward. I assume there is a possibility he's not thrilled to be stuck behind Hayward on a depth chart. Three, the market is pretty dried up right now. There aren't many teams available that have cap space AND would be willing to send future picks to Boston in return for Crowder. So dealing with Utah directly is convenient for Ainge to get this done.

I think I was just piling on. I agree with you.

Oh ok gotcha.

I'm cautiously optimistic. But I agree with everything you're saying. Jazz push for this, Crowder pushes for this, Hayward may push for this to save face, and Celtics may be backed into a corner with no suitors willing to give assets.
 
Crowder, Gobert, Rubio, Ingles, Mitchell... I don't know how good that team is, but that's one feisty as hell team.

Now that all the cap space has been squandered, the exception may have even more value than Crowder. Still not believing this isn, but pretty impressed in DL is responsible for the leak.

Well an exception may be all but guaranteed based off the last report of Hayward and Barlstein being immediately willing to facilitate a sign-and-trade.

Getting Crowder and the exception, that's a big deal.
