Would you trade Hayward+assets for John Wall??

No way they take Hood instead of Hayward, Wizard fans would be furious...

They'd need to get a 20ppg scorer back like Hayward to even begin to PR the loss of Wall.. Also they'd need to make a big splash in Free agency.. they have lots of $$ coming off the books.

Salaries don't even match up if its Hood and Exum for Wall..

They'd definitely ask for a 2016 2nd round pick too. forgot to add that.

It would have to be Hood, not Burks, for it to have any chance.

That would give me some pause as I don't love the spacing of a Wall/Burks/Hayward/Favors/Gobert lineup, but it's still worth considering.

Sorry I didn't read your previous post, I'm busy and I'm just lurking during breaks. No I don't do that, do you know what we have in Exum yet? I don't think so.

As much as I like Wall you just don't give up on a player which you don't know what his ceiling could be yet. Hayward on the other hand seems to have reached it. I agree that the Wizards would be dumb to trade for Hayward since he's becoming a free agent though.

My proposal is purely hypothetical and for conversation purposes of roster building, not a direct endorsement of anything.

My main point is I don't want to see a lateral move involving Hayward.

I would try to sign a Bazemore or Barnes. I'm ignorant to what our cap situation would be though. Might have to target a smaller fish like Allen Crabbe.

Of course you don't Cy, of course you don't.

Not that I wouldn't move Exum & Hood for the right player, just not sure Wall is that guy unless Burks+ can be moved for a high volume shooting 2 guard

Exum and Hood for Wall is a steal. The Hayward trade is more plausible. But in the end, I'm with NAOS. This ain't happening.

Utah might not be the most glamorous landing spot for Wall, and he can do whatever he wants in the offseason .

Winning in the NBA is glamorous though, and thats what Utah can offer.

Ending the season with teammates in tears https://vine.co/v/iIlI7gQeVYn like the Wizards did, is far glamorous.. They also had the biggest drop in TV ratings of any NBA team..

This could be the off-season to try and pry Wall from the Wizards..

The slip stream caused by his ears while running could help us during fast breaks.

Definitely a problem that can be remedied down the line whether via trade or FA. Doubt WAS does it but I'd lean towards trading Exum/Hood/+(depending on the +) for Wall (assuming Wall checks out).

I am the biggest Exum homer out there. I think he will be a star.

That being said, I'd rather trade Exum for Wall than Hayward for Wall. There is a shot that Exum is never as good as Wall.

Also, Hayward wants to win. We can pay him more. He ain't going anywhere.

If trade Exum/Burks/this year's pick. Look at our team;

Wall/Mack/Neto
Sign a FA/Hood
Hayward/Ingles
Favors/Lyles
Gobert/Withey

That would leave us roughly 18 million for a wing FA.

I'd try to sign Batum to a two year 15 per deal then sign Randy Foye. We'd look like this:

Wall/Mack/Neto
Batum/Foye
Hayward/Hood
Favors/Lyles
Gobert/Whithey

That's a 55 win team. We'd compete for a 3-4 seed depending on Durant.

Really?

What star did we get for Dwill?

What star did Denver get for Carmello?

What star did OKC get for Harden?

What star did Minnesota get for Live?

What star did New Orleans get for Paul?

What star did Memphis get for Gadol?

In all cases it was high profile young talent on rookie deals and draft picks.

Let me see if I follow your logic here...since past trades of superstars did not net any stars in return, it's reasonable to assume this trend continues and Washington will be willing to trade their superstar for our young role players and picks? If that's how it works...let's also see what we can get for Lyles, Hood...? Maybe Kevin Durant?
