[Smith] Assuming reports are correct of Hayward joining BOS & for the max, the Celtics will have to renounce all FAs AND trade someone also
 
Not really. Knicks are more so at Anthony's mercy

Also if Gordon really is leaving Utah, LAC's chances of the playoffs only increase. For those who think there's no way LAC makes it

Then it depends on how bad Melo wants to win because he didn't like Phil, but wanted to stay in NYC for his family.

Boston would now need a series of transactions to create cap space for Gordon Hayward. The Celtics would have to pull the qualifying offer on Kelly Olynyk, renounce free agents Jonas Jerebko, James Young, Gerald Green and waive the contracts of Jordan Mickey and Demetrius Jackson (or trade). The Celtics would be left with $27.6M in room and likely need to move the contract of Terry Rozier or Marcus Smart. Trading Rozier would have the Celtics short $1M of a max salary slot.
 
Another league source says Boston hasn't heard yet directly from Hayward. Again: doesn't mean he cant pick Cs later; he just hasn't yet.
