Danny Ainge's son says he hopes Gordon Hayward stays in Utah

Danny Ainge's son wants Gordon Hayward to rebuff the Celtics advances this summer and remain in Utah with the Jazz. No not Austin Ainge, The Celtics Director of Player Personnel, but 33 year old, Tanner Ainge, who's running for a seat in congress in Utah. (Gotcha! Actually probably not, but maybe?)

Social media came alive after Tanner Ainge, a Republican, jumped into the race to replace Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, quickly tying his candidacy to the drama over whether Hayward stays or goes. Some fans want him to ask his dad to back off the popular Jazz player.
