Oh, speaking of Fortnite and all the good news we're surrounded by, Obi says that he's Fortnite obsessed. He doesn't play any other games at all, just constant obsessive Fortnite, and even enters tournaments.
I mean there’s a reason he’s asked Knox for advice lol. They probably take Ls together

Hayward has a lot of miles on his body

but he'd still be in his prime if he stays healthy for 3-4 years.


Makes other players better.
average defender
efficient scorer
can score at every level
can handle the ball some


he'd fit well next to RJ and Obi and Mitch

How's that work? Hayward in a S&T to Boston? So the Celts will take Randle but not Turner?


Randle would obviously be traded as salary filler in a Westbrook deal.

I really feel like they have a trade lined up with Houston for Brodie, just like they did with OKC for CP3...but the price was just too much. They would rather have CP3, especially with one less year on it, but they moved on to Russ who would cost them less.

It don’t make sense to bring Brodie here by himself. And Hayward is honestly one of the best swings on the market and fills many needs and has many connections in our new organization.

I can’t see them trying to sign Hayward only to pair him with VanVleet.

And it definitely seems we’re making our push...


Absolutely frightening we put this much effort into Hayward. He' opted out in Boston. He said his preferred spot is Indy. Indy (allegedly offered Turner) and got nowhere. We are being played. Why wouldn't Boston take that deal? Hayward is decent but why are we investing so much time in this with lower years if he wants Indy? How can we possibly think Haymard would be good for RJ's development? Is Hayward gonna accept a Korver role? For that coin? If we come away with this dude, Leon got taken.

he doesn’t have to be in the Korver roll to be good for RJs development. And honestly if RJ can’t play with other talented ball handlers he’s not gunna be worth investing in. He should get familiar with now

Spoiler:
"In the summer of 2018, Hayward said he was addicted to Fortnite after initially hating the game. The Boston Celtics small forward also called himself the “Fornite King.”

Like everyone else, I’ve become a little obsessed with Fortnite.

I have to admit, I was kind of late to the party with this one. In fact, I was definitely a Fortnite hater at first. I didn’t want to get into the game. I felt like it was too slow. There wasn’t enough action. I was playing a lot of Overwatch and big into the Overwatch League (which I still do follow a lot).

But every one of my friends was playing Fortnite, and they finally got me to get on it a little bit. And now I’m addicted. If you were to ask Robyn, she would say, “He’s addicted.”

Hayward concluded by saying he’d “almost guarantee” a victory in an all-NBA Fortnite match."

He sure did a great job stunting Tatum and Brown’s development too.

Does anybody remember Oakley's jumper? The quirky baseline shot he picked up during his career?

Mitch has a 3ball like that to come, it may not be pretty but it will serve a purpose to create some space for himself in the paint.

As soon as someone shows they can stop him from scoring inside, he hit an all time best FG% last season, then he will step outside.

lol NO.


a guy who adds 5asts/ a game outside of being a primary ball handler is basically:


a guy that makes his teammates better.

Bostons system isn't for everyone and there was just too many guys that needed the ball in their hands to maximize Gordon's overall game. He just wasn't a fit. And he's not the only guy thats hasn't fit. Kylie didn't fit and Kimball also has looked a bit awkward.
