Celtics will need to shake up roster to clear space for Gordon Hayward
Gordon Hayward finally, mercifully, is now a member of the Boston Celtics.
The Utah Jazz forward announced his decision on Tuesday with a article in The Players’ Tribune. Multiple reports have said that Hayward will sign a four-year, $128 million max the deal with Boston.
The problem with that deal? The Celtics don’t quite have the cap space for it.
That means Boston will need to make a series of moves in order to get Hayward on the roster. ESPN’s Bobby Marks let out a detailed list of some things the Celtics might need to do in order to get the deal done.
Via ESPN:
With Gordon Hayward now agreeing to a four-year $127M max contract, Celtics management now has a series of transactions to do in order to create cap space. The Celtics would have to pull the qualifying offer onKelly Olynyk, renounce free agentsJonas Jerebko, James Young, Gerald Green and waive the contracts ofJordan Mickey and Demetrius Jackson (or trade). The Celtics would be left with $27.6M in room and likely need to move the contract of Jae Crowder, Terry Rozier or Marcus Smart. Trading Rozier would have the Celtics short $1M of a max salary a lot.
That’s a lot of dealing left, and the Celtics will look significantly different next year when compared to the team that took the No. 1 seed the Eastern Conference in 2017.
The most interesting thing to consider is which of the wing players Danny Ainge decides to move. It appears that Avery Bradley, Jae Crowder, and Marcus Smart are the three likely big names that could find a new team in 2017-18.
Smart has already been floated as the most likely candidate to get traded.

Meanwhile, the Jazz will reportedly try to replace Hayward’s production elsewhere.Otto Porter was a target, but he signed an offer sheet with the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday.

Clips get Danilo Gallinari in deal involving Nuggets, Hawks
The LA Clippers have acquired Denver Nuggets free-agent forward Danilo Gallinari on a three-year, $65 million contract as part of a three-team sign-and-trade deal, league sources told ESPN.
Atlanta will send a 2019 second-round pick it previously acquired from Washington to Denver to complete the trade, league sources said.
The Clippers sold Gallinari, 28, on a frontcourt that includes him, and All-Stars Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan. Los Angeles is trying to reboot its roster post-Chris Paul, and the 6-foot-10 Gallinari is a floor-spacing shooter whom the Clippers have coveted for several years.
Crawford is interested in a contract buyout, or getting waived in Atlanta so that he can become a free agent, league sources told Marc Spears.

Gawd damn... I'm going to have to comeback to this chick in the AM
You dudes are paying way too much attention to summer league.
Chris Haynes breaking the Hayward move, and him denying it so he could release a statement on The Players Tribune .
And I still don't like Boston's team that much. This will take away some of their depth, because they'll lose Smart or Rozier or both.
And why do Brown, Tatum and Hayward all play the same position? Dummy should have drafted Josh Jackson to have a replacement for Crowder
Not impressed with Ainge's moves. But hey, he got Horford and Hayward in back to back summers....and will lose to Cleveland again in six this time.
Angie claimed that Jackson didn't want to work out for the cs...its been a busy offseason for angie..I saw his ass watching in the summer league game ..Red as shit LOL. Tatum was a great Pick..dude can score. Jackson isn't a scorer but i see your point. I think Hayward can play PF...there is Zero Competition in the east minus the cavs.
Side note..... I'll continue to say that the nBA has problem on the horizon.
But big up to the players.... these dudes are getting fucking Baseball level contracts. 4 years 109 million for Otto... I mean really.

No problem they just have a great players union
Owner's fucked themselves with the luxury tax bullshit.
The lie is saying that someone like the Lakers will just buy everybody and then nobody will be able to keep their players.
The truth is they wanted an excuse to be cheap and not keep their players and the teams that aren't cheap are going to go over and tax themselves when they didn't have to.
whoever trying to win is going to spend money or draft or draft and spend money period.
I know why you're laughing but lesser bums getting paid like that. Gallo's problem is not his lack of skill but staying healthy. When he's on the court he's a 6'10 athletic Wing that can shoot the 3. He just ain't got that "dawg" in him to take over. Flops like a Euro too much.
Man the guy is gonna give you 15 and 5 and 50 games a year..
interesting...
You know why what Durant did was fucked up come on now stop it.
Not even close.
No one said that they disliked Lebron but just pointing out that he is a cry baby
I didn't want the white boy. Glad he picked Boston
This is sports. No one gets a pass. Talking shit with your boys and friends is what makes sports so great.damn...don't get all logical with me cuz...
lets ride this 4:44 (and hopefully Black Panther) Black Renaissance
Black Coach best player in the league...Black player who winning on and off the court
(white savior Love aint really do sh*t)
completely castrates the white owner who SWORE he could win without him
I like that.
that some OK make another Hov level get back.
Can we just celebrate that?
Cause these Pats fans NEVER talk about that Giants loss.
Where all those Kevin Love top 5 player in the league talk now?
Notice how Isiah is sh*t now in Boston but the Great White Hype coming to save them?
We NEED to stop going at our own.
With that bullshit.... we just being honest and fair and "real".
cause white folk are NONE of those things with their chosen ones.
We really need to stop all that.
How we hate Lebron MORE than Dolan and Donald Sterling?
That shit Cuban said about Trayvon?
Niggas on some I HATE Lebron cause he flops?
WTF is that shit??????
they spra ypainted N*GGER on his family home
and dudes STILL talking about how he left Cleveland??????????
But we just being honest?
Let them have painted some type of Nazi stuff on Dirk's house (and he aint even Jewish!)?
Cuban would have hired ex-feds to find the culprit.
But we just being honest?
Stephen A. smith aint THREATENING a white athlete or WHITE female athlete on live TV.
damn
Can you find me the white liberal who is HONEST about all this Trump fuckery going on?
But we REAL quick to say EVERYTHING Obama did wrong...
but Trump?
Yeah he crazy we needed him to destroy the system blah blah blah
then we gonna see misses in the sky one morning.
We need to be protective of OUR people.
Especially in sports...cause they be USING that sh*t to hurt us and our image AROUND the world.
White folk aint being all honest and real with THEIR heroes...
but the Black man feel its necessary to do that with the FEW we have?
Only sensitive people take shit talking in sports and try to apply it to "real life". Fam No one about to make Lebron some black Jesus, especially when most people's favorite team are in close competition with Lebron.
Every brotha appreciates Lebron for what he stands for and the work he has done in the community but when he is on the court playing basketball it is fair game to go at him.
Riddick is straight up garbage thoBecause we were well below the salary threshold with 14 players on our roster and needed to make up the gap and get our overall salary up and we needed a shooter. Name ONE black shooter who is better than Redick as a shooter which is what we needed? Gonna need you to know facts before you try to counterpoint Bruh....
Give me ONE black shooter that is available that is better at shooting than Redick?
Why is Roy Hibbert still on the Nuggets?
Aren't they trying to move him? He should be part of a sign and trade package.
Lol
Pooh gonna get paid
Pooh gonna get paid
Wake up call for his living on fantasy island ass. About to become Brandon Jenningsdidn't this nigga said he wanted a $100 mill contract during the season or toward the end of it lmaoooooo

Well, I wanna see how IT plays this year. I like the fact we have big names....I think Tatum is going to be the Celtics next star. IT will definitely ask for something close to max, with what these guys like porter are getting paid...and Galo

Man IT won't even be on y'all team to ask for that. Danny tried to trade him already so u know his ass is gone like the wind.
Hes still a shooter. We dont need him to me steph curry and if he doesnt work out his expiring contract can be used as a trade chip. That being said, name another available shooter better than him right now?

If he plays like he did this year....he's gonna deserve that max....well hell he deserves it anyway with all these niggas out here getting the max....
I don't know what he's talking about. Reddick ain't Kobe but he's a dead eye shooter.....reliable....its a lot of teams out there that can use him. Shit Cavs should be hitting him up.
I was wondering what was the basis for this...lavar got interviewed recently in philly and was asked to respond to the embiid/simmons tweets...
Lavar’s response:
“When you don’t win, and don’t even make the playoffs, and don’t even stay on the court long enough, that’s the best thing you can do – is tweet and make some stuff,” Ball said. “Ain’t nobody else doing that, because they’re working on their games in the gym. These guys ain’t played a game, always hurt, and [are] at the bottom of the totem pole. So guess what? Get your ass off the goddamn Tweeter, and get in the gym.”
Lavar continued to say..
“Add their games up and see how they turn the program around. LSU (where Simmons attended) wasn’t turned around, they’re great players. They’re good, they made it to the NBA, they’re good kids that can play,” Ball said. “Both of ’em played in college and didn’t uplift their team. I ain’t got nothing against Fultz, that boy can play, but if you really that good, your team gotta go at least .500 if you got a bunch of blind midgets.”
