Sportsball Drama: "Wait a second, there's non slavic white people playing basketball?" Edition.

So the NBA offseason is in full swing(I apologize for that painful cliche and that means really big motherfuckers getting paiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaid.

But there's a bit of a hiccup, since the dude everyone wanted to sign, Gordon Hayward, is taking his sweet ass time deciding where he wants to play. He was supposed to make his decision during the weekend, since he had interviews with Boston, Miami and Utah.

Other NBA free agents are getting pissed off because they're all waiting on him to make up his mind as that well affect their options.

NBA fans all over social media are getting pissed because Hayward is kind of fucking with our emotions here, especially those poor mormon dipshits in Utah. Meanwhile Boston fans are being Boston fans.

And then a few hours ago, this bullshit happened:

2:17 - Chris Haynes: Free-agent Gordon Hayward plans to sign with the Boston Celtics, league sources tell ESPN.

2:18 - Brian Robb (CelticsHub): Hayward will be heading to the #Celtics on a four-year deal.

2:26 - Zach Lowe: Can confirm the @ChrisBHaynes report: Sources close to Hayward say he is signing in Boston.

2:27 - Adrian Wojnarowski: The Utah Jazz are still waiting to be told of Gordon Hayward's intentions, league source tells ESPN. Hayward hasn't told them his plans yet.

2:30 - Jordan Schultz: Source confirms Gordon Hayward has NOT made a decision. The report saying he is headed to #celtics -- at least as of right now -- is UNTRUE.

2:32 - David Aldridge: Okay. Strap in. Told by a source w/knowledge of the process that Gordon Hayward has NOT made a decision yet & is still in the process. FWIW.

2:34 - Adrian Wojnarowski: Gordon Hayward's agent, Mark Bartelstein, tells ESPN: "Gordon hasn't made a decision yet. We are still working through it." 2:36 - A. Sherrod Blakely: League source confirms @Celtics will sign Gordon Hayward when the moratorium ends on July 6. The C's get their man and ...

2:36 - Spencer Checketts: Hold the phone. Text from Celtics Exec: "We haven't heard anything yet." 2:36 - Sam Amick: Gordon Hayward's agent, Mark Bartelstein, is indeed saying he hasn't made decision yet. Meanwhile, Celtics celebrating his alleged decision.

2:37 - Royce Young: My guess: Hayward picked the C's, word got out without the Jazz knowing, and they're trying to walk it back so he can tell the Jazz "first."

2:40 - David Aldridge: 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.

2:44 - Adi Joseph: Similar thing happened with Dwight Howard in 2013. Agent denied reports in effort to let Dwight break his own news.

2:46 - Adam Himmelsbach: Couple of league sources now saying teams haven't been notified of Hayward decision yet, and others saying it's done. Sounds like formality.

2:56 - Adam Himmelsbach: Hayward's agent Mark Bartelstein on whether final word is coming today: "That was the goal, but now we've got to kind of regroup here a bit"

3:02 - Steve Sarks (Jazz President): We trust Gordon and his agent that no decision has been made. Good communication all day and a great relationship.

3:13 - A. Sherrod Blakely: Just spoke w/GH'sagent, says his client hasn't made a decision, is "upset someone would report that. He's trying to re-evaluate everything."

3:20 - Jordan Schultz: At this point, even though the plan was to make a decision today, Hayward's camp is going to have to reset. Unclear if Hayward decides 2day.

5:39 - Tony Jones (Salt Lake City Tribune): Can confirm reports that neither the Jazz nor the Celtics were notified of a decision today by Hayward in an official capacity

6:34 - Barry Jackson (Miami Herald): Apparently, Hayward camp wants to tell everyone at once who the winner is. But Hayward associate this AM said unlikely it's Miami.

Basically no one knows shit, and everyone is getting beyond annoyed.

PS:

Cavs suck dick, Snally.

The NBA is getting meme tier this offseason. For Hayward leaving the West is a good idea because it's stupidly stacked now, even more so than last year.

you messed up your formatting btw

God it'd be fucking awful to be one of you bandwagoner sports fans or those actually with hopes about your team.

We got a Center and that's literally all I wanted to be able to punish teams for literally just sticking 4 guys on Lillard.

Nurkic is going to go full Sabonis

How can you people even root for teams with Harden, Draymond Green etc.
