Celtics reportedly trying to change Hornets minds on signing Hayward outright & instead do a sign-&-trade

Well after the devastating blow of Ainge not making a deal with Indiana when he had a chance and the Hornets swooping in today with a Godfather-esque offer Hayward couldn't refuse, Celtics fans finally received some good news this evening. For one the Celtics added big man Tristan Thompsonand now it appears that the Hornets may consider a sign-and-trade. That reportedly was off the table after it came out that Charlotte was going to waive Nicolas Batum with the stretch provision. But maybe someone convinced Michael Jordan that there may be a more fiscally wise route.
