LAS VEGAS — The news just keeps getting worse for the Utah Jazz on the Gordon Hayward front.
Although not nearly as devastating a blow as losing Hayward to Boston — as the All-Star recently announced would happen — the Jazz have not been able to work out a sign-and-trade deal with the Boston Celtics, according to sources.
Barring an unexpected breakthrough in the next few days, no deal between the two teams will happen.
That means instead of salvaging something from Hayward choosing to see if the grass is greener on the other side of the country, the Jazz will come away from this demoralizing experience with nothing but an open roster spot.
