Ainge also did not pay $120mm for a guy to suffer one of the more horrific leg injuries in recent NBA history. Clearly Ainge misread Hayward's ability to stay on the court.
Anyhow, there is no question that Hayward is not effective. He is pretty much last of all the C's rotation guys in RPM including Wanamaker but your contention that he should be shut down just isn't realistic. Ainge won't call for it, Stevens won't do it and Hayward would likely be very upset were that to happen.
To the guy's credit, he went to the bench willingly and appears to be trying even if he isn't succeeding. I would guess that you and Kyrie Irving are in the tiny minority of people who think that a one dimensional player like Anthony might do more than Hayward for the Celtics. Recall that even when Carmelo was healthy, he was a horrible defender and given his athleticism, it had to be disinterest in the endeavor rather than some sort of physical limitation. I personally would rather watch a team of Haywards plod around than a washed guy like Melo loaf around and demand the ball. But to each their own...
