Message: [QUOTE="Dogdeacon, post: 3743177, member: 1026"] That's possible I suppose, but if that is the deal the Celtics wanted don't they refuse to extend the option and keep the proverbial gun to Hayward's head and try and strong-arm the deal? Or if Hayward knows that is inevitable then he declines the option a day ago. I'm thinking that both sides agreed to extend because they each see a possibility for better options than unrestricted or the 1yr deal. Hayward has the leverage though so Celtics could get screwed as I described if they can't engineer a sign and trade and he just opts out. [/QUOTE]
