How about sign & trade Hayward for Isaiah Thomas?

[The Midnight]

There's rumours that Isaiah Thomas may get traded by the Celtics. They didn't even need him to beat Cleveland.


Is it possible to come to an agreement with the Celtics, whereby everybody wins? We sign & trade Hayward for Isaiah Thomas.


We pair Isaiah Thomas with Gobert where IT's height is negated defensively.


Celtics can pair Hayward with Paul George (by trading Fultz to Pacers).


Everybody wins, no?



EDIT: I forgot to mention that I would be all for this ONLY IF HAYWARD HAS DECIDED THAT HE WANTS TO MOVE ON TO THE CELTICS. This trade would be a consolation, instead of letting Hayward walk for nothing.

Should have traded Kanter for him (that was my plan.) Not at all interested in this deal.

I just vomited in my mouth a little.

Probably not. If Boston goes after Hayward it's an all in move to win now. In that scenario Isaiah Thomas would be off limits in trade discussions.

 

[LogGrad98]

No.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Terrible.

 

[The Midnight]

Well for those thinking this is bad, what if Hayward walks and we're left with nothing?




Would getting IT back not be a bad compromise?

This.

OL you've been in a few scrums too many dude.

Haha.. you looking forward to the Lions series?

 

[FalseFlagg K]

Ah, no. We suck

He's an undersized, ball-dominant guard who should be a spark-plug, change-of-pace player off the bench. Celtics should keep him for that role, have him mentor Fultz, lessen his minutes and try to extend his career that way.

LOL, Steven A. Smith saying IT is too valuable to trade unless it helps them dump Horford.

Cavs wouldn've swept the Celtics if Thomas wasn't injured. They played better matchup wise without him

WTF would a team that is built around a defensive identify then go and get the worst defender in the league to run the point (our most vulnerable position)??? smh

they should trade him while his value is sky high before it becomes too obvious that nobody is going to contend with him as their no.1

Nope. Unless we would otherwise just lose Hayward.

 

[The Midnight]

Nope. Unless we would otherwise just lose Hayward.

And that's why I came up with this - in the case that we lose Hayward for nothing.



Of course I would rather have Hayward.

I feel like this is the perfect reaction to 90% of what OL post.
