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.
