Considering he is the most talked about media member today I suspect he will have his own show on ESPN 2 by the end of the week.I'd imagine Haynes, as a relative noob, has a lot lose here. If he just jumped the gun, that's one thing, but if he got this wrong, wow ... I kinda wonder how long he'll last in a cut-throat ESPN world that's already cutting reporters left and right.
Well, that never happened. It was Edgardo Alfonzo at the winter meetings.Forgot about Contreras and the chair throw by Theo.
It makes them feel considered. I dunno.Wait, so the theory is Hayward is postponing his announcement by one day so he can call Utah tomorrow, pretend he just made up his mind and still tell them he is signing with Boston. How exactly does that help Utah?
Well, if it's a sign and trade, to allow Utah to get a consolation prize at least. Crowder, Avery, a giant Tootsie Roll, etc.Wait, so the theory is Hayward is postponing his announcement by one day so he can call Utah tomorrow, pretend he just made up his mind and still tell them he is signing with Boston.

Well if DJ Jazzy Jody says it...Jody Genessy @DJJazzyJody
I know Hayward was leaning toward the Celtics but have been told by several sources that he never fully made up his mind.
If we did that trade, would we still have all the cap space left over to sign other FA?Well, if it's a sign and trade, to allow Utah to get a consolation prize at least. Crowder, Avery, a giant Tootsie Roll, etc.
They can't---it's just a question of who they will trade.Why would the Celtics want to do a sign-and-trade when they can create space to sign him without giving anything up?
Haha, you could be right, but I gotta say, I have not been too impressed with his forays into analysis. And he seems to blend analysis and straight reporting somewhat awkwardly — viz. his recent reporting of Durant's "selfless" contract signing.Considering he is the most talked about media member today I suspect he will have his own show on ESPN 2 by the end of the week.
to free up cap space to sign other FA like JaMychal Green? Is that even possible? If they sign Gordon to max but move Crowder and AB in a S&T, would they have cap space?Yeah what I meant was why would they trade players to Utah for Hayward when they could trade players to another team for extra assets and then sign Hayward anyway?
Edit: Unless he told them he wouldn't sign with Boston unless they gave Utah something back.
What do the Celtics get exactly? Couldn't they trade one of the pieces necessary to another team and get an asset in return in addition to getting Hayward?Haywould gets more money and he doesn't "leave" the Jazz, they traded him.
Lol, that's so fvcked up. You had it plastered all over your front page as BREAKING NEWS for an hour, dumbasses! You can't just sweep it under the rug two hours later. A reputable news outlet would issue a proper retraction.Woj on SC again, they aren't even acknowledging Haynes' report.
Our new CFL reporterWoj on SC again, they aren't even acknowledging Haynes' report. I imagine he's in the penalty box for a few days.
Wanna bet?Lol, that's so fvcked up. You had it plastered all over your front page for an hour, dumbasses! You can't just sweep it under the rug two hours later.
It was always going to be Boston vs UtahLink to the Woj clip where he said Miami is out:

He's actually one of the big Jazz writers, he's at the Deseret News, 2nd biggest SLC paper, would be similar to being the Boston Herald or NY Post's #1 basketball writer. He probably has as good a source for Jazz players' camps as anyone.Well if DJ Jazzy Jody says it...
That hasn't been true since 2 CBAs ago.Haywould gets more money and he doesn't "leave" the Jazz, they traded him.
I heard Mort report that Hayward weighs two pounds less in a Jazz uniform than he does in a Celtics jersey.Wanna bet?
Unless I missed it no one has actually reported this as a possibility - people in this thread are just speculating as to the reasons for the delay.This is bizarre - now a possible sign and trade?!?!
But Spolestra and Miami night life!!!It was always going to be Boston vs Utah
You have clearly never watched "Big Love".This is bizarre - now a possible sign and trade?!?!?
WTF
Still pretty high profile as far as exiles go. Thinking more like "Now, checking in live from the Iditarod..."Our new CFL reporter
Rick Fox is a moron.NBA TV is 24/7 Hayward right now FYI. Rick Fox speculating the sign and trade route.
You'll be in Hartford, reporting on the Yard Goats. Don't stray too far from the stadium. No, you're not confined. It's just a really bad idea.Still pretty high profile as far as exiles go. Thinking more like "Now, checking in live from the Iditarod..."
He divorced Miss America. That's not very smart.Rick Fox is a moron.
You probably wanted Finn to go back to the Stormtroopers, too.Like everyone else here I am just speculating. Given the events of today, I believe some of the appeals by his Jazz teammates and those within the organization must have made him rethink his decision.
If this is the case, as others have said upthread, he should follow his heart even if we want him to choose Boston and even if we think he has the best chance to win with the Celtics.
Perhaps he was just hoping that the farce would be with Hayward as he makes his decision.You probably wanted Finn to go back to the Stormtroopers, too.
Clearly the farce is strong with this one.Perhaps he was just hoping that the farce would be with Hayward as he makes his decision.
Mel Brooks needs to redo Sapceballs. May the Farce be with You!Clearly the farce is strong with this one.
