Stein: Utah is telling teams Hayward is unavailable.

[Ron Mexico]

This team isn't in need of b for a handful of lower quality assets. If we trade him we need to be upgrading one of our starting positions to an A quality asset.

Lol.
Do you think that a roster with murray/bender (#3 pick), baldwin/thon/korkmaz/etc (#12 pick), mercedez bemb (or whoever at 23), hood, exum, favors, burks, gobert, lyles, bradley, mack, and some free agent additions would suck?

I guess I have more faith in our roster and coaching staff than you do.

Rookies do nothing to help you win 99% of the time. In fact the hurt you to play them especially early. That would make this team really young, younger than last year. I think that team would be in the lottery again next season.

Does anyone know the possibilities of Boston including their 2017 Brooklyn pick swap in a deal for Hayward?
How would that work? All the variables are hurting my brain.

Re: Boston's 2017 Brooklyn pick swap in a trade for Hayward:

1. 2017 season ends.
2. Let's say Boston has the 23rd pick.
3. We'll say Brooklyn has a top 3 pick.
4. Boston has right to swap for the better pick.

So, is it possible to trade Hayward right now in 2016 for the better of Boston's/Brooklyn's pick in 2017?

Yes, yes it would suck. We would have one guy who can score on a semi-consistent basis (Hood), a guy who we desperately hope develops into something (Exum), and then a bunch of guys who needs somebody to set them up. So yeah, our offense would actually be worse, which is really saying something. And our defense would be worse, so that's even better.

Possible? Yes. Likely? No. I don't think either team would want to do that, tbh.

And we have a 3rd year PG who is only 20 years old without much court time and is coming off a major knee surgery. So that alone is supposed to be make us a 2nd round playoff team/relevant? Do you understand what that actually means?

That's not what I said at all, but carry on making things up, again. You're starting to build up a nasty habit here.

Yeah, maybe just me whats to do this. You know I don't value Hayward as much as you do (let's not rehash this). But I agree that the #3 pick by itself is nowhere close to decent value for an asset like Hayward. So I'd want the #3 this year + the Brooklyn 2017 pick + filler - maybe this year's 23rd.

I answered your condescending question with a point and question of my own. That's a bad habit?

I don't think we would suck. In fact I think we would make the playoffs. Agree to disagree I guess. (Also when hayward missed games we have done well. I know, small sample size and all)

we could add free agents (vets) too.

Plus I don't think bradley is super young iirc.

You implied something that I never said. Not for the first time.

Let's make a deal though...we make the 2nd round of the playoffs, I pick your username. If we don't make the playoffs, you pick mine. If we make the playoffs it's a draw.
