Welcome back to being irrelevant Utah J!zz Replacing Gordon Hayward with Ricky the bricky Rubio HAHHAH
feel sorry for jazz fans. they drafted the player, groomed him to be the franchise star, watched him grow just to leave the organization.
chris hayens definitely broke the story. haywards team is just pissed that it leaked before they wanted it to. we all knew he would join the celtics after haynes broke it shams/woj mad
I am sorry but you can never feel sorry for the obnoxious J!zz franchise or its dumbass moronic fans A big F U to them
Now that the decision is made, what opportunities are there for the Rockets? I'd take Jae Crowder, who is apparently an analytics darling: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/carmelo/jae-crowder/ Morey has connections in Boston and Boston needs to clear a little salary to sign Hayward to the max, so maybe they got something worked out? Maybe Utah would take Ryan Anderson to add some offense?
With Gordon Hayward now agreeing to a four-year $127M max contract, Celtics management now has a series of transactions to do in order to create cap space. The Celtics would have to pull the qualifying offer on Kelly Olynyk, renounce free agents Jonas Jerebko, James Young, Gerald Green and waive the contracts of Jordan Mickey and Demetrius Jackson (or trade). The Celtics would be left with $27.6M in room and likely need to move the contract of Jae Crowder, Terry Rozier or Marcus Smart. Trading Rozier would have the Celtics short $1M of a max salary a lot.
No Chance to acquire crowder. If the celtics are going to deal him they will get real value back in return.
