Kind of crazy all the Celtics and Pacers trade "rumors" we have heard prior to them even hiring a new head coach. But now that they have hired Nate Bjorkgren, who was an assistant for Nick Nurse in Toronto, here comes a rumor from a respected NBA insider Ian Begley.
Something to keep an eye on once we find out when NBA teams can start making trades: some within the Pacers organization continue to have interest in trading for Celtics’ Gordon Hayward, per SNY sources. It’s unknown what Boston would want in return for Hayward -- or if the club is even open to moving him.
