would u trade hayward for kawhi leonard

Hayward is more versatile right now. Leonard is the better defensive stopper.

I think if the Jazz offered Hayward for Kawhi Leonard, the Spurs would strongly consider it. Parker + Duncan + Hayward keeps that team going a couple more years. Ginobli looks to be just about done.

A fair number of players have looked really good in the Spurs system playing off of Duncan and their ball movement. Case in point: Boris Diaw, Marco Bellineli, Danny Green, etc. I'm not sure how good Kawhi would really be playing for the Jazz. The spacing and flow wouldn't be the same.

Lets see if the Spurs really think Leonard is a max player this summer.

The Spurs will give him the max. The max this year won't be the max come 2 years and his deal, along with Hayward's, will be a bargain.

Leonard is a straight beast. He isn't the playmaker for others that Hayward is, but he can do a little of everything and is getting better every year.
 
Its a wash. Both bring a lot of good things to the table. Neither are legit #1 options on a championship team.
