[Jones]BREAKING: Jazz willing to engage Celtics in S&T talks: But Gordon Hayward must agree

Offer to do the S&T with Hayward and a 2nd round pick going to Boston (throw in NWG if Ainge plays hardball) and a non-guaranteed contract or Rozier coming back to Utah. Make a fair offer for Crowder, but walk away from that deal if they hold out. Doesn't have any impact on the S&T deal. Do that separately.

Keep Favors. Jazz won't get better value than a healthy Favors could give them. Might as well roll that dice. Gobert, Favors, Hood, Mitchell and Rubio starting. JJ, Jingles and Exum lead the bench unit. Pick up a couple of cheap one year vets (or young guys looking to prove themselves.) Roll with that and be ready to jump on any deals that come up.

Yeah, I think some sort of sign-and-trade like that is most likely at this point. Maybe this: Hayward + Jazz 2nd round pick for Celtics 2nd round pick. That way the Jazz still get the large trade exception instead of losing Hayward for absolutely nothing, and Boston gets a slightly better 2nd round pick (assuming they finish ahead of the Jazz).

Yep. That sounds like a good deal for both sides and Hayward and his agent get to save some face after the "indecision" debacle. DL should be pushing this to the agent more than Hayward or Ainge.
 
So much for our leverage. LMAO

I'm so ****ing annoyed right now, I better just log off.

We can't start Favors with Gobert and Rubio. Spacing nightmare. I like Favs but I really think it's time to move on. He's oft-injured and doesn't fit next to Rudy or in the general style of play. Plus he's a free agent next year and we need that money free. We need to get assets back for him while we can. I agree with your overall plan of action though.
 
We never had any leverage. I am not sure where that even got started. Best case we had for a S&T was cap relief for Boston and we would likely have to pay a little to get a little. Now that will not materialize, was probably fantasy from the beginning, but from the get-go this entire discussion was about lube. Do we get any or not. And the answer is not.
