Bottom line is let's hope DL has an indication from Hayward that he's staying or else it would not be prudent to explore other options...

There is more of a chance that someone after #3 becomes as good or better than Hayward than #3 not being as good as Lyles. Hayward is a good NBA starter, but how would we view him if he didn't get to touch the ball on almost every possession and be our #1 the last couple years? There are a number of players who will be taken #3 or later in this draft who will be good NBA starters. Every single year the draft provides such players.
Hayward is a good player, but some of you guys are putting him on a pedestal that I don't think he deserves. We had the best defensive center in the league, a very good up and coming Hood, a very well balanced big entering his prime in Favors and we didn't even go .500. Don't preach injuries because they are part of the game.
He is the youngest player in the draft. HD is like a full year younger than Simmons. His body will fill outJust clueless.
Lol ok
Too injury prone. I'd like to see a year with much fewer injury
I don't see where he has first tier potential even. I watched video of him yesterday. Wasn't impressed with his game. He isn't suited for the bigger stronger quicker, and more explosive league. He can shoot and dribble but he's not strong not athletic with no explosion, and doesn't get off the ground, looks like a Channing Frye clone. Pretty much a spot up shooter that is really tall
We had the 11th best point differential in the league without a PG worth a damn. Do you understand what that actually means?

I want to ask an honest question to those who have no desire to trade Hayward -
If Boston were to offer it, would you trade him for Avery Bradley, #3 and #23?
What would people view as an acceptable return from BOS for Hayward & Favors? I know it's highly unlikely that we trade one, let alone both, but if we did move Hayward it would make sense to deal Favors as well. I think the discussion would have to start with Smart/#3/2017 BKN pick swap/2018 BKN 1st
I'd quit Jazzfanz if we made this trade.
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?

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.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.
Lol.

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