Thomas was 2nd in the league in 4th quarter scoring

That's the most valuable skill to have in the NBA. It would take a lot of pressure off Hayward and ensure that he gets single coverage.

I think the Celtics are 2 players away from being in the top tier in the NBA. They need a solid center and an all star wing like PG13.

Hayward would be asbolutely crazy to leave the Jazz right now.

People keep saying that his relationship to Brad Stevens is "overstated" and

Do you think it is enough to pull him away from Snyder and the Jazz?

Yes

I'd agree with that. If the Jazz sucked then that seems like a given.

All-star snub would have him gone too, I think

He's going to opt out of his player option

It will ultimately depend on if he's build a similar relationship with Snyder

4/26/17 1:57pm

Agreed. He will have been with Quin almost the same amount of time.

I'd take SLC weather any day over Boston weather.

Wrong. I also do not think his style would mesh with Isiah

Not yet he's not, but he's putting up great #'s

Agree that Hayward is not an "alpha scorer" yet, but he's not far from it. Just

I think Hayward will be back but I wouldn't think he was crazy if he left.

The most important reason to stay is Gobert. He's the perfect All-Star teammate

I think this is his biggest reason for staying.

Hayward being the #2 scorer is a positive thing if he cares about winning

If you thought the Jazz have problems guarding point guards, watch the Celtics.

The Celtics have 2 of the best defensive guards in the NBA

And then IT has to guard a 2. He's even less capable of doing that.

The Celtics play a lot of help defense, so that Thomas doesn't have to exert

Playing 4-on-5 defense is not sustainable, as the Celtics have shown. It might

Thomas is NOT that guy. And Boston has assets, but nobody as valuable as Gobert
