Did you read the article? He can't make a deal until after the Hayward decision

What? That's not what it said:

In the end, George ended up with Oklahoma City, and the Celtics were left to turn their focus toward their pursuit of the free agent forward, Gordon Hayward.

It's saying that now they are turning their focus to Hayward, not that it was contingent on Hayward. That doesn't make sense.

Why did Indy move so quick? My guess is PG absolutely said LA next year and OKC took the one year rental to try to extend Russ and convince PG to stay

This doesn't make sense either. Besides giving incentive to trade him in the first place, why would it matter to Indy if PG was going to go to LA, as it relates to the decision with two offers on the table? After deciding to pursue a trade, the only thing that matters is the value in return, which favored the Boston trade (if the article it to be believed).
