He might be traded to us. We should offer a first round pick for him. Maybe a first and a second. He's on an amazing contract. It would seriously soften Heywood's betrayal.
*If* we offer a pick, it better be lottery protected.

Nah, he'd replace more than 50% of Haywood's production.
According to the model at Silver's website, Jae is 6.6 wins above replacement.

Haywood is 7.6

Their advanced stats aren't that far apart, and Crowder would have a bigger role here.
is Crowder any kind of playmaker ??
Crowder and a big *** trade exception for a lottery protected first would be so much better than losing Hayward for nothing.
I know it sucks to give up the pick, but we should bite the bullet on this one.
Wow, well I guess the advanced stats favor Crower more than I thought. He could probably see 1 or 2 more shots in Utah, but I wouldn't expect his usage to change too much from Boston. He'd still be playing off the ball mostly and be a 3rd option at best.
It would just really blow chunks to get the 8th seed, bounced in 4 games, and get no pick.
