Speaking extensively about his three seasons in Boston, Hayward disclosed that, while being recruited by Brad Stevens to join the Celtics, the 47-year-old stated that his goal was for Hayward, Kyrie Irving, and Al Horford to eventually pass the team down to Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum.

During his 125 regular-season games with the Celtics, Hayward shot 35.7 percent from outside the 3-point line and 48.4 percent from the field, averaging 13.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 3.6 assists per game.

He signed a four-year, $120 million contract with the Hornets in the 2020 summer, ending his tenure with the Celtics.
