The Utah Jazz are willing to engage in talks on a Gordon Hayward sign-and-trade deal with the Boston Celtics, league sources told the Tribune on Wednesday evening, on one condition: Hayward, who committed to signing with the Celtics on Tuesday, would have to agree and get the ball rolling.
The Celtics must clear salary cap room before it can sign Hayward, and according to ESPN, the Celtics are shopping Avery Bradley, Marcus Smart and Jae Crowder. Any one of those three would help the Jazz start trying to fill the void created by Hayward’s departure.
