How about sign & trade Hayward for Isaiah Thomas?

[DutchJazzer]

WTF would a team that is built around a defensive identify then go and get the worst defender in the league to run the point (our most vulnerable position)??? smh

what he/she/xe/they said!

don't wanna assume the gender

When I read the thread title I thought this was a joke. I cant imagine anyone having any interest of Isaiah for Gordon. Huge downgrade in every way.

Why in the hell would Hayward or Boston do something as stupid as this?? If Hayward said he wanted to play in Boston, why would Boston trade Thomas for Hayward, when they could just sign him, then if they really want to trade Thomas, they could add additional young talent and or picks to build around Hayward.

Similarly, why would Hayward want to weaken his new team. If I were Hayward I would feel no obligation to Utah at all other then thanking the team and state he played for, either verbally or open letter.

Teams do this type of thing in order to get salary off the books. Most likely offer from Boston in that scenario would be for Amir Johnson at twelve a year I imagine.

Sign and trades don't happen much at all anymore because the incentive just isn't there. This really doesn't make sense in any scenario.
