Boston Celtics Will Target Gordon Hayward, Blake Griffin In The Offseason

There are many big names on the free agency market this summer, Blake Griffin and Gordon Hayward possibly being the biggest names among them.

It is not surprising for the Boston Celtics to show interest in players like this. A young team, that was the number one seed in the Eastern Conference, a young team that went to the Eastern Conference Finals, a young team that owns the number one draft pick in the 2017 NBA Draft. Yes, as of now, the Celtics still are on a different level than the Cavaliers and Warriors, but this could change quickly if their draft pick turns out to be a star, and if they are able to land one of the two free agent star players.

Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical said:

“Blake Griffin, and I think the Clippers may think this too, and certainly some other teams, Boston is really the danger for Blake Griffin. I think Boston’s two primary free-agent targets right now are Gordon Hayward and Blake Griffin. Now they’re not going to get both of them, but they’re both players who would potentially have interest there, and who Boston I think looks at in different ways with their future. “

Gordon Hayward would most certainly fit perfectly into the Celtics’ roster. Hayward and Markelle Fultz could be raising Boston to a new level.

The off-season has officialy started. It’s the time of year, where there are more rumors than actual facts and news. This is the first, many more will follow.
