Celtics discussed trade concepts involving Marcus Smart, Avery Bradley and Jae Crowder
Boston has to make room for Hayward
The Boston Celtics have to make room for Gordon Hayward and his maximum contract and they are now aggressively shopping Marcus Smart, Jae Crowder and Avery Bradley.
Per ESPN, The Jazz and Celtics discussed on Wednesday the possibility of including Crowder in a sign-and-trade agreement for Hayward, league sources said, which would be cap beneficial for Boston.
The Celtics have to make a complicated series of moves to create enough space to sign Hayward to the full max. But because the salary cap did not rise as much as projected, they likely will have to trade one or more of those three players to sign Hayward. Sources told ESPN that Boston has discussed trade concepts involving Smart, Crowder and Bradley with at least half a dozen teams on Wednesday.
