If that tweet is true - almost all the sites (ESPN, CBS, etc.) are going to have a lot of explaining to do.

Okay. Strap in. Told by a source w/knowledge of the process that Gordon Hayward has NOT made a decision yet & is still in the process. FWIW.

It ain't over until it's over.
Woj, direct quote, or keep game faces on. Don't Atlanta Falcons this guys.
Based on these tweets, can we safely assume that the leak to the press comes from his agent's office or that his phones are tapped?

Gordon Hayward's agent, Mark Bartelstein, tells ESPN: "Gordon hasn't made a decision yet. We are still working through it."

Until Adrian Wojnarowski says it's true I refuse to believe it. Sam Amick is not reliable enough for me. Wojo is the man.
Various things could be going on (I am not Woj, and I have no idea what's actually going on)...
- There's a contractual question which was submitted to league, which leaked
- Someone in Hayward's inner circle leaked prematurely
- A team leaked prematurely
- He's decided, report accurate, but he wanted to call Jazz personally and hasn't been able to yet

Tend to agree. Sounds like things got out of order and upset their schedule/press timing. That seems most likely to me at this point.

My guess: Hayward picked the C's, word got out without the Jazz knowing, and they're trying to walk it back so he can tell the Jazz "first."

There's got to be some in-house jealousy at ESPN over Woj joining the team. So some other schmuck prematurely ejaculated for the sake of the scoop

Multiple sources say Celtics are still waiting to hear from Gordon Hayward, but don't deny ESPN report.

They better be ducking his call or some shit or this is DeAndre Jordan part two
Cut ESPN some slack. When have they ever reported something without full knowledge of the facts and ended up driving Boston sports fans batty?
I agree.
Feels like he hadn't notified everybody before releasing his statement/players tribune letter

My guess: Hayward and his camp want to inform teams and announce this on their terms. Still, giving hope and ripping it away is a bad look.

I heard ESPN was going to shut down their website if this report is untrue.
Or maybe that was someone else?

Another league source says Boston hasn't heard yet directly from Hayward. Again: doesn't mean he cant pick Cs later; he just hasn't yet.
