Jazz-send- G. Hayward and 2014 23th pick
Celtics-send- G. Wallace, J. Green, J. Sullinger, 2014 6th pick, 2014 17th pick, 2015 1st round pick, 6ers 2015 top 14 protected pick, Kings 2015 2nd round pick, Nets 2016 1st round pick. Nets 2017 draft swap rights,
T'Wolves-send- K. Love, and 2014 13th pick
Jazz-receive- G. Wallace, 2014 13th pick, and Nets 2016 1st round.
Celtics-receive- K. Love, G. Hayward, C. Budinger and 2014 23th pick
T'Wolves-receive- J. Green, J. Sullinger, 2014 6th pick, Boston unprotected 2015 1st round pick, 6ers top 14 proctected 2015, Kings 2nd round pick, Nets 2017 draft swap rights.
Jazz- Hayward at best is a number 3 guy on a team. Which is great if you have a true #1 and #2 player on the roster. I don't think the Jazz will be built to win that way. So they avoid having to overpay for Hayward so they S&T him away to Boston who won't mind paying Hayward and reuniting him with his former college coach. Eating Wallace contract won't be great this season, but with Jefferson, Biedrins and potentially Williams coming off the books Utah will have plenty of cap space to do so, and while Wallace contract is awful this season it will likely have some value as an expiring the following year. The team turns the 23th 1st rounder into the 13th and get the Nets 2016 pick. With the age and injury issues of that team 2016 pick could end up very high.
Celtics- They get two guys they covet in the same transaction. While they give up a great deal of assets to do so Boston is thrilled to secure Love and happy to add Hayward as well. In the process they trade Wallace's awful contract making space for the both Hayward and Love new deals.
T'Wolves- Are in a tough spot. They need to trade Love, but most teams aren't going to want to send them the assets that justify a trade without knowing Love will be there long term. Boston is one of the few teams that trade for Love without any fear that they can't sign Love long term. Minnesota gets a big in Sullinger that basically has the same play style and skill set as Love. While suring up their whole at the 3 with Jeff Green. They turn the 13th pick into the 6th pick. That pick gives them the chance to take the BPA as they really would be expecting a stud and will have all their holes in the starting line-up filled.
Jazz-draft- 5th -Aaron Gordon. He may not be the best prospect at 5, but what he projected to do at an amazing level is what the Jazz need most defense. The fact that he can be your secondary ball handler makes up for losing Hayward.
- 13th- Gary Harris. Again he adds the much need primeter defense this team is lacking. If Kanter is on the court you are going to need great primeter defenders. Plus Harris has shown an ability to knock down 3's for floor spacing, and has the potential to put the ball on the floor to get his
Celtics-draft- 23th -T.J. Warren. He's a guy who can score without the ball and can play with Boston's new big 3 of Love/Rondo/Hayward. If Warren is gone I can see them reaching for a Glenn Robinson with this pick.
T'Wolves-draft- 6th- Noah Vonleh- T'Wolves have so many options here if they don't love(no pun intended) Rubio anymore they may want to go Smart here, if they want some insurance for Sullinger they may go Randle here, I think names like Saric, Staukas, McDermott, and Young will all be in play here depending on who the Wolves fall in love with. Ultimately I think they settle on Vonleh he's a nice combo of skill and athleticism and he may be skilled enough to play the 3.
-17- Rondey Hood- I think he'll be the BPA at this pick. I'd say Lavine is in consideration if he's still here as well.
