lets say the Jazz trade them Hayward and still win with who they have and end up 6th. If Milwaukee gets hayward, makes a run, and ends up 5th, how is moving from 6 to 5 doing anything?

And what if the Jazz's pick is the 12th and Milwaukee gets into the lottery? There are a lot of what ifs. Life is a gamble, there are no guarantees, but you do what you can to improve your odds. There are some moving parts, but getting the right to swap picks improves the Jazz's odds at getting into the lottery by ~2, not to mention strengthening their own pick's odds almost assuredly. Also, in direct answer to your question, what is the difference between Kyrie Irving and Derrick Williams? Or Andre Drummond and Austin Rivers?
What this ultimately comes down to is that I don't think Hayward is an integral piece to a championship and the Jazz should be preparing to lose him anyway (because of an inane offer sheet).
I see what you are saying, I just think Hayward is a good enough player that you want him around. At worst he can give you depth off the bench. I also think they could get more than that for him. I also think if they make the trade, the Jazz still end up around 6-10, and the Bucks improve to around 5-7 range. I just don't want the Jazz to give away what I feel is a valuable player for what I think would essentially be nothing.
And in an answer to your question, the difference between those players is that they worked out. What's the difference between Oden and Durant? Whats the difference between Jordan and Bowie? Whats the difference between Hayward and George? No matter where the Jazz pick they still have to make the right pick.

Cleveland might have just secured the the #2 pick:

Cleveland tanking could be a good thing if they're willing to take another guy at 1-3 that they could have gotten at 10. Maybe they'd try to shy away from that this year, though. It's amazing to me that they didn't move down and pick up assets and still get their guy.
Nobody really wanted the #1 that badly for that reason. (I personally would've taken Oladipo or Burke).
On each other. At center court. BANNED FORM THE LEAGEU
The question you need to be asking is that with all these injuries WTF are none of them on GSW.
