Danny Ainge's son reminds Hayward of potential 'millionaire's tax' in Boston
There are going to be some painfully awkward dinners at the Ainge household on the horizon.
Tanner Ainge - the son of Boston Celtics general manager Danny Ainge - is currently in a race for third district seat in congress out in Utah. His father, on the other hand, is busy preparing for NBA free agency, which could include him signing one of the Utah Jazz's best players in All-Star Gordon Hayward.
Rather than help his old man out, Tanner is hopeful that Hayward will stay exactly where he is, which explains why he tweeted out a news story to the 27-year-old concerning the state of Massachusetts possibly instituting a "millionaire's tax" for those with high incomes.

Utah has the advantage of being able to offer Hayward a five-year max contract, while all the Celtics can provide is a four-year deal worth $127 million.
