This doesn't sound good AT ALL.


Just spoke w/GH'sagent, says his client hasn't made a decision, is "upset someone would report that. He's trying to re-evaluate everything."
Just wow. I really hope (doubt) the C's leaked anything, as they have been playing it pretty close to the vest on this one.
I can't believe there is a possibility now that he wanted the C's, and now will change his mind to stay in Utah. That would be an epic level gut punch.

If a Boston organization source did leak it, it would give me pause about joining a franchise that I had doubts about trusting
This would be like your wife getting pissed you told a buddy she was pregnant before she was ready to share it with her friends / family. She might get a little upset but she isn't filing for divorce.

You know who could have leaked it? ... Pat Riley

Hayward tells the Heat they're out, but please don't let folks know until he tells the Jazz. Riley decides to fuck with the C's and tells a reporter he knows would run with it without confirmation

Are people for real worried about an A. Sherrod report?

When's the last time he broke news on anything?

Course that is the same Blakely that "confirmed" with a source he was signing with the C's.....

What's weird is a ton of reputable sources confirmed it, can't imagine they all have the same source, so somebody that multiple people around the league find reputable seemed pretty sure

The NBA is just doing this to build interest and rating for their marquee product: offseason twitter. I'm sure they're just rolling in the dough now

At what point can I resume enjoying my holiday? Currently an hour since I stepped it up and poured a big scotch to celebrate, now I am drunk F-5ing while the rest of my family is swimming in the lake

It's not a report. He spoke to Hayward's agent.
That's what report is, he just named the source.

Why would that make anyone say ohhhhhhhhhhh noooooooooooooooo Sherrod talked to the same guy Woj already quoted an hour ago?

Seriously, look at this fool and his next tweet.


I'm sure it was scheduled, why not delete it?

"League source told". This isn't piggy-backing off Haynes tweet.

And it's not a Celtics leak.

FWIW NBA network's summer league announcers speculating if GH was staying in Utah he would have announced by now. Contract details the holdup, they claim.

Yep. Still makes me think that he wanted to control the announcement and now it's shot.
Feel like this is always the "great fear" in situations like these: that some premature announcement is going to blow up weeks and months of negotiations with millions of dollars and fates of franchises on the line.

Has it actually ever happened?

ESPN has changed their banner story and now amended the original story to include his agent saying nothing is final. why can't this be simple.

I like this and hope its true. I think there will be people who were 'sure' they had him wherever he lands and people who claim GH knew all along where he was going. Sometimes that happens (KD), but I think more often they are in the wind up to the end and its why the pitch and close matters.

100% and even if he didn't Putin, I mean Patrick, would be overjoyed we thought he could have.

What if Hayward is just upset that he was only called a "league source" when he broke his decision to Haynes?
