You wouldn't lose Hayward for nothing...you'd gain more financial flexibility, cap room, and it opens up more playing time for guys with more potential like Burks. That's pretty damn valuable if you ask me.

The thing about that is that we have put so much into Hayward to turn him into what he is now, and getting more young players just moves that process back. Hayward is a really good player to have if we get that number one option. Can you imagine if we replaced Richard Jefferson with Jabari Parker, and had a three wing rotation of Hayward, Burks and Jabari? They could each average over 30 minutes per game, and we would win a ton of games.

Oh right...I forgot we need cap space to sign Lebron next year.

Trading won't help. Are young guys busting out have been winning us these games. DL probably figured sitting Hayward out would be enough against the hot Nuggets. Wrong.

Yeah, but if we replace Marvin's minutes with Jeremy Evans, and bring in a d leaguer to take Rjeff's minutes, we have a greater chance to lose more games.
 
Keep in mind that we basically have 2 great young prospects in the refrigerator with Gobert and Neto. If those two turn out to not be busts we would be in business even without a miracle pick this year.

You must not pay attention much...our cap space is what allowed us to fleece Golden State out of two 1st Round picks.

So our team will just always be the team that takes big contracts, we'll always keep the flexibility and never get anywhere.

When he had 15 rebounds? Favors is the type of player that leaves the mark in games without being inconspicuous.

He is solid, but he is not spectacular.

So what's your point bro? Me thinks you like big eneses and will never give Favors his due. Enes will never be as good as Favors will be.

Do you really want to know the odds of a 20+ something pick turning into a player of Hayward's caliber? Or even a rotational player?

I think we have a good young core (even if Hayward goes elsewhere). If we massively overpay to keep Hayward (all indications are that we will have to) it'll be the AK47-handcuff situation all over again. I think if we collect assets (either draft picks or more cap space) we could package this into a trade for a better draft pick or a good player down the line. What's wrong with that? That's how we got Trey...
