Brad Stevens recruited Hayward as a high schooler and was his college coach. If he leaves Utah, it's for Boston.

“When you’re recruited to Butler and you go to Butler, he talks about it being a family, and not just while you’re there, a family forever,” Hayward said.

Please tell me the argument that I'm agreeing with. Oh yeah. There wasn't one.

You tried to crap on a poster and slither away into your cave by not quoting the dude. He caught you and demolished your feeble insult with one line. I'm still laughing at how he easily he demolished you. Then I commented on your cowardly tactic.

Congrats though. At least you quoted me so I guess those balls finally descended.

If I'm a terrible poster according to YOU, then I've never been more affirmed in my way of thinking. You're defintion of terrible is anything not in agreement with you. And I couldn't think of a poster who's basketball ideology I trust less.

So where's my medal for worst poster according to you? I'd wear it as a badge of honor.

Do you have a brain disorder? I referred to the poster by name..directly after he posted. Cowardly? I think you need to look up the definition bro. Destroyed? Need to look up the definition for that one too. You have serious issues.

This (dakomish23) I think the kid is maybe 14 or 15 based on most of his posts -- not sure he knows what he says or how it sounds TBH just due to being immature. Some of his posts are very child like IMO so go easy on him -- he may be under age.

Man you just don't know when to quit.

I'm immature? Go take a look at the ATL game thread. You have a page to yourself of quoting people, including myself, making stupid unproductive comments about Melo.

Take a look at recent history. How many posters have to put you in your place before you get the hint that you have very little to bring to a basketball argument? How many times have I myself taken you out to the woodshed for your nonsense? And all you respond with is insults to try to cover up your lack of knowledge. Even just a few days ago, I smacked you around and you responded with a comment about tampons.

The posterboy for maturity indeed.

Now you're trying to team up with other condescending big mouths. I get it. Strength in numbers, right? Maybe you guys should have t-shirts made or join an intramural bowling league.

I'm 35 years old and have never flaked on my fandom. Bad years, good years, I've stayed loyal. I never hopped on the bandwagon in either direction and have always supported our best players. In seasoned enough to not lose my head and start crying at the first of a dark cloud.

You should try it sometime. Though I imagine it wouldn't salsify your childish need for attention.

I'm sorry I thought you were very young - won't mention your age again.

he'll look real good in Boston next season...I bet that's where he ends up

If that's the case, Celtics should consider offering Jae Crowder in a trade for Hayward. Jazz are set at SG with Rodney Hood and Alec Burks so Avery Bradley is not a fit on their squad.

Does Utah not intend on keeping Hayward? He is their primary ballhandler.

They have every intention to keep him. He signed a contract when he was a RFA, now that he is an unrestricted... I'm sure he may want to look elsewhere.

Question is: would Knicks fans have enough patience to let him get to this point?

My picks in bold above. A LOT of tough games to decide today. Many can go either way. Hoping for a Knicks win with CLee out tonight against the Hawks. Hoping a few standings rivals fall tonight too.

Nets win would be glorious. Weakens the Celts pick and strengthens our 2nd rounder all at once :-)

George Karl sent more heatseekers at Damian Lillard & the Kings Owner.

I see why Ibra defended him, he is one grumpy old man.

With Lin back they're back to the tough team they were at the start of the Season. They beat a tougher Hornets team the other night.

Like I said above tho, a lot of games tonight that can go either way.

Ladies and Gentleman, Jabari Parker is quietly murdering people out there. Giannis gets all the hype, but Parker is becoming a lethal scorer.
