We know that the Boston Celtics are losing Gordon Hayward in free agency to the Charlotte Hornets, but what will the eventual deal look like?
The Houdini is really struggling to process that Gordon Hayward is really gone. Since May of 2019, I have penned thousands upon thousands of words on why the Boston Celtics could have a higher ceiling if they were just able to find a better way to spend the $34 million Hayward makes.
Now, he is headed to the Queen City, where he will presumably serve as the #1 option in the Charlotte Hornets offense unless LaMelo Ball or one of the team’s other ball-handlers (Devonte Graham, Terry Rozier) seizes that role by way of controlling the ball in a Kyrie Irving-esque way.
