Despite his father, Tanner Ainge has good reason to want Gordon Hayward to stay in Utah.
As a candidate in Utah’s special election to replace Rep. Jason Chaffetz, Ainge (the second son of Celtics general manager Danny Ainge) could potentially face backlash if Hayward ditches the Jazz for the Celtics. And in a tweet Thursday, he urged the All-Star forward to consider a potential change to Massachusetts’s tax code before leaving Utah.
“Something to consider over next few days,” Ainge, a Republican, tweeted at Hayward, linking to an article about the 2018 ballot question to implement a so-called “millionaire’s tax” in Massachusetts.
