The Gordon Hayward situation has been a well covered topic here at the Houdini, and there is a reason. Simply put, his massive cap figure opens the door for huge deals across the league. With the Boston Celtics looking at plenty of roster turnover soon, it could be time for Danny Ainge to nuke his own creation.
Ainge is of course, no stranger to league-altering deals. He moved Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett to tear down his team, and keep in mind, the pair was responsible for the first Celtics title of the new millennium. Still, Ainge had the foresight to acquire picks in exchange for a bad year or two.
