Gordon Hayward expected to pick up optionSeptember 28, 2020 | 09:29 AM

Gordon Hayward is expected to pick up his player option for next season. Analysis: His player option is worth $34M, a number that he wouldn't come close to on the open market. Hayward's time in Boston has been a disappointment but injuries have obviously contributed. And while he was invisible in Sunday's Game 6 defeat to Miami, this was definitely his best season with the Celtics with averages of 17.5 points, 6.7 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.6 triples. His ADP should be suppressed again next season which may make him a nice value late in drafts.
