[Jones]BREAKING: Jazz willing to engage Celtics in S&T talks: But Gordon Hayward must agree

[NUMBERICA]

I'm not giving up anything less-protected than lottery. That's a hard no for me.

People are suggesting :

Favors+Hayward for Olynyk and Crowder.

I agree here, this must be the threshold starting point. The way salaries have exploded, picks are going to be worth far more.

I'm not sure how the Olynyk thing would work as they renounced his rights.

But yes, I absolutely do that.

Favors was borderline all star when healthy. Would be a mistake to dump him before we see if he can recover.

I highly doubt DL would trade Exum, Mitchell, or Hood.

It's going to be 2018 unprotected. I'm calling it.

Or 2018 top 3 protected, some very limited form of protection. Or maybe rights to swap their LA pick and our pick?

I'll guess top 10 or lottery protected. Other than that, I just hope we don't give up anything else substantial. Maybe a future 2nd or Williams-Goss or something.

Only Danny Ainge would sit around splitting hairs on pick protections from a team that he just took their (arguably) best player. ****ing miser.

...and, considering that twitter battle that Crowder had with Boston fans after last year's game there against the jazz, together with all this trade speculation, does Ainge not think he's losing Crowder anyway? I think it's probably safe to consider Crowder a distressed asset; the market for those goes down.

I personally hope Lindsey is threatening to go forward with tampering. I hope he's using that as leverage here. Ainge's reputation is already fragile. Those allegations would hurt. And, fwiw, I think a case for tampering could be built.

They renounced his QO, not his rights I think. If I'm not mistaken?

And if he's out the door? (I think he's out the door)

The time pressure is on Ainge here. The Jazz can sit back and explore all kinds of trades. They don't need to capitulate to Ainge.

The QO might be the whole kit n kaboodle, but I'd have to check.
