CelticsBlog roundtable: Gordon Hayward’s future

After former CelticsBlogger and The Athletic’s Jared Weiss reported that Victor Oladipo is interested in leaving the Pacers (and possibly Myles Turner, too), armchair GM’s started hitting the trade machine to work out a deal to send Gordon Hayward back to his hometown. Hayward has a $34 million player option that many believe he’ll most likely pick up...unless he signs an extension to stay in Boston long term.

Should Danny Ainge consider trading Hayward if he picks up his PO? Does a team-friendly extension make sense with Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown as the cornerstones of the franchise?
