Let's get one thing out of the way before all the negativity starts with fans saying things like "Fine then leave! I'll drive you the airport." If Hayward walks the Celtics would not have his $34 million to sign another player or players. They wouldn't even have $20 million. Nor $10 million. They's have the vet minimum.
