Hayward signing reportedly was holding up some of our plans. Let's see what happens now. 

Can't see what one has to do with the other.

Just that 2 of his 3 pursuers are going to be back ou there ready to do business. I could imagine another team with cap space could prove to be more attractive to LAC than us.

Now that the max deals are done, lower level players will decide where they are going. The Heat and Jazz, if he actually goes to the Celtics, can now refocus their attention. Agents of players like Willie Reed, the only guy we have reported interest in so far, are smart to wait on as many suitors as possible.

Wow... shades of the false excitement around these parts last year... do the C's fans get the what-goes-around-comes-around treatment, or does Hayward land there after all?

Wouldn't be Free Agency without the drama I suppose.

I'm sorry, but watching the Celtic fans implode on twitter right now is better than the 4th of July!  It's Christmas in July!

Mike Scot goes close to home with the wizards.

CJ Miles would be an interesting pick?   I guess we have no plans for THJr?

Anyone see a trend with our interest in Bog and CJ Miles? Both are capable of shooting a lot of 3's at over 38%.

Lots of 3pt shooters can keep under talented teams in games.

It's the new NBA trend.  Shoot 3's at 40% and win games.  The numbers back it up.  

I agree with the strategy.  We need shooters anyway.

Google image search CJ Miles.  Thank me later.  NSFW.

This is a nice farewell letter by Hayward.

Yeah, I doubt that stops him from getting booed.

Not sure Hayward does that much for Boston.  They weren't as good as their record last year and Hayward is a Horford type signing (i.e. very nice player but not close to a superstar).

[DocWilkins]

I thought I would post something here to bump this thread to the top. Not for any other reason than this is about as exciting as our moves in free agency so far.

Boston got better and should be at least tue 2 seed in the East.  Hayward already knows the system and will play well in it.

It sucks, but thats what it is.

I feel pretty bad for Jazz fans.  They would have been something special in a year or two had Hayward stayed.
