Gordon Hayward has committed to sign with the Boston Celtics, sources told ESPN's Chris Haynes, choosing their offer over the Utah Jazz, his team since 2010, and the Miami Heat.
A contingent from the Utah Jazz, including the recently acquired Ricky Rubio, met with Hayward on Monday in a 3½-hour meeting at Hayward's San Diego home. Rubio, who was acquired as a key part of the Jazz's plan to re-sign Hayward, traveled from Spain for the meeting.
The All-Star swingman, who also met with the Miami Heat on Saturday and Boston Celtics on Sunday, will command a maximum salary after opting out of the final season of his contract.
