Jayson Tatum wanted a trade when Celtics signed Gordon Hayward
Jayson Tatum, who was drafted 3rd overall by the Celtics in 2017, shared his initial concerns about his role on the team, especially when Boston signed forward Gordon Hayward the same summer. The unexpected addition of a high-profile player led Tatum to question whether he would see substantial playing time, leading him to consider a trade. “I get drafted, and Gordon Hayward signed with the Celtics. I called my agent, like, yo, I gotta get traded,” Tatum recounted.

There’s a lot you take for granted with this #Celtics team. Tatum making good decisions. White and Holiday being rocks every night…
We’re at the point where Luke Kornet giving them solid minutes is a foregone conclusion. Incredible given where he was 3 years ago. – 10:50 AM

NEW @CLNSMedia — Tatum shook off the Grant Williams foul, declining to talk about it after a strong performance that led the #Celtics out of CHA w/ a routine win.

Interesting how Mazzulla held Tatum out to see how this lineup would deal with some adversity. They held up the lead. Tatum and Queta now checking in with 4:36 left to finish the game. BOS 101, CHA 91. #Celtics #Hornets – 8:06 PM

Fitting end to a big first for Tatum. Don’t think I’ve seen him hit a 3 trying to draw a foul off-balance like that. Just did it to score 13 pts on 4/6 FG, 1/3 3PT, 4/5 FT in the 1Q. 38-24 BOS – 6:39 PM

The most impressive part of Jayson Tatum is the confidence level of his game. He has the mindset that he’s the best player on the floor and he acts like this all game long. The whole vibe is contagious and a big reason behind Celtics success. #DifferentHere – 8:11 PM

I wonder why Tatum keeps having that thumb issue. It feels like he’s been dealing with the left thumb on and off for a few seasons now – 7:42 PM

His agent, however, reassured him to stay calm and be patient. “He was like, yo, just, like, you’re in a great organization. They’re gonna teach you how to play right away,” Tatum explained, revealing that his agent urged him to wait it out and trust the Celtics’ development system. Despite Tatum’s eagerness to start immediately, he acknowledged feeling frustrated. “I’m like, yo, I’m trying to play. I didn’t get drafted to come off the bench and not start,” Tatum recalled during the podcast. -via BasketNews / November 4, 2024
The Timberwolves’ defense is anchored by reigning Defensive Player of the Year Rudy Gobert. Recently, retired NBA guard Gordon Hayward, who played alongside Gobert for several seasons with the Utah Jazz, broke down the one key weakness that Gobert has on that side of the floor during a visit to the Pat Bev Podcast with Rone. “He always had problems guarding around the perimeter and that was something anytime we played like a quick guard that can also shoot it was going to be tough for us,” said Hayward. “We had really tough times against Boston when they had IT (Isiah Thomas). We had really tough times against Kemba, we had really tough times against Dame. Guards that if he came out too far they go right around him, and if he’s back at all they’re just shooting.” -via Clutch Points / October 31, 2024
Hayward made sure to reiterate that Gobert was still excellent overall on that end of the floor. “So I think that would probably be his only critique as a defensive player is being able to guard the perimeter,” said Hayward. “Now I don’t think he’s bad at it, I think its just those are world class elite level players, that’s just what they did was coming off pick and rolls, shooting.” -via Clutch Points / October 31, 2024
