What's new

**Breaking** Trey Burke being discussed in Trades!!!!

I've said this before-- I think we hold off on big trades unless Hayward starts getting antsy.

Oh please, you really think the FO would pull their pants down for an antsy Hayward? Careful what you wish for, jeopardizing what this team is building inductively, developing from within, for what a 2nd option scorer wants would be a very risky move. I'd ship his *** out if it came down to that.

As long as he didn't publicly request a trade, we could get a nice return for a package including Hayward. But it won't come to that because the Jazz are legit.

If Hayward wanted out and was being shopped around the GMs would know this and the offer would significantly underwhelming ala the Kancer trade.

Good point, and I think Hayward gets it. It's not a matter of making a splash just because.
 
So would anyone trade Hayward to Celts for the Nets pick and players not knowing where the pick will wind up?

Honestly, I wouldn't. Hayward is a proven NBA player and too many times these top picks just don't work out. With the way the Jazz are able to scout and develop players I think we stay the course and continue to grow from within the organization. Now if Hayward could be packaged for say, John Wall...that's a different story.
 
No. I feel like this draft is not as strong as the last 2 or the next one. Trading Hayward sets the whole timetable back. I'd rather roll with who they have, add to it and then extend him after next year.

My main worry is if Gobert is MAX, Favors is MAX and Hayward is MAX, can we afford to keep Hood and Exum when they become restricted FA?

We probably can't.

The scenario you laid out would cost around 85 million for those 3. Add 1 million each for the other 12 players and we are at 97 million. The salary cap is expected to be 100 million for the 2017-18 season. We can't pay all those guys max. The question is can we keep them for less.
