It sucks how Gordon Hayward’s Boston tenure played out. He was just snakebit with injuries and everyone wanted better.
But, boy, did the Celtics dodge a bullet by NOT re-signing him a couple of offseasons ago. That would have been a disaster contract for Boston. Same for Indiana. – 1:28 PM James Plowright @British_Buzz
Hayward news is sad and disappointing but unfortunately not surprising. Off-season has an interesting view to it now, but we have months to discuss that. Play In time 🙌 – 1:26 PM Gary Washburn @GwashburnGlobe
