He doesn't want salary other than Hayward. That is what makes us a good partner. Even if we have to send something what would you pay for Crowder? Probably more than what would be included here. Plus we get a massive trade exception that we need. Ainge wouldn't be doing Utah a favor though it would help the Jazz.

Take the emotion out of it and Crowder is someone we should pay for. We have some leverage because we don't need to take money back, but I would expect we have to throw in some nominal second round picks.

He would fit in perfectly with our defensive identity and need of spreading the floor.

I have no idea how much is too much with picks, but I don't think we should be waiting for more rookies when we have Gobert chomping on the bit to dominate the league defensively.
 
There is motivation for Ainge to trade Crowder. And to trade him to the Jazz specifically. First of all the Celtics obviously have to trade someone without taking salary back to be able to sign Hayward. Second, there was the whole situation where Crowder got upset last year at Boston fans cheering for Hayward. I assume there is a possibility he's not thrilled to be stuck behind Hayward on a depth chart. Three, the market is pretty dried up right now. There aren't many teams available that have cap space AND would be willing to send future picks to Boston in return for Crowder. So dealing with Utah directly is convenient for Ainge to get this done.

This. Plus throw in the PR/political motives and it makes sense.

Not to mention getting this over and done with so teams and players can move on. Having half of your team involved in trade speculation for days or weeks isn't great for moral.

Tony Jones just tweeted that Hayward and his agent "immediately" agreed to help facilitate a S&T
