Hayward for the Phoenix pick unprotected, and the Washington Wizards pick they acquired that is top 12 protected this year. We should also get back Gerald Green with this deal. Less than that and we say no.

For the record I was for Schroeder the whole way, but like what we accomplished with Burke. That said, I love this from this kid. If there is one guy in the league to do that to to get him to react and hurt his own team it is D Cousins. Love this.

I agree. Does Gordon really want to get 2-3M more next year from another team that he doesn't deserve? Because that is what the market will pay because that is what teams have to do to get RFA's away from other teams. Its not that the players deserve the extra 2-3M per year, its that that is...

If I were to accept your premise that 5 of those teams would be interested in Hayward that isn't that many. Remember how Pekovic was supposed to be offered max or near max dollars this off season by Portland and a slew of other teams and no one, and I mean no one came after him. The only guys...

I just think Hayward is a nice 3rd option on a team that is about to get exposed as a #1 option. I think he sees his FG% plummet this season and a lot of the interest will wane.

You have to think about who would actually offer Hayward a contract. Gordon will not be getting an offer over $11M per in the off-season. Who is going to give it to him. Celtics will usually be the first team out of peoples mouths.... Really with Jeff Greene and Wallace eating up wing /SF...

Has anyone signed him. He had a ton?of potential at one point and never had any coaching. He may be the next Stromile Swift, but I am surprised no one has mentioned him since he was amnestied by Charlotte. I remember a couple years ago that the Jazz liked him, but at least he would be a cheap...

I wish there was arbitration boards that could decide extensions for players between years 3 and 4. Both the player and the team can decide if they want to do the deal or move on to restricted free agency. Under this circumstance Favors would get $10 to $11M and John Wall would have only...

I think the Jazz are going to let the season develop and look to add a 1st round pick from any team willing to give one up. The one that I had mentioned in other posts that I thought might be available was the 2014 Indiana pick because they have a real window this year to go for a championship...

I think what is happening with Pekovic is very instructive. I think the days of teams way overpaying for a free agent that their own team wants are (i won't say over) but changing. This off-season only one restricted free agent moved teams and there are serious questions as to whether Tyreke...

I say they should be 4 years at $10/$7 respectively but will be $12.5/$9.5 per year.

I actually watched the game. Yes he had TO's but if you watch the game only a few of the turnovers were his fault... dropped passes by teammates not expecting to be open because Dennis Schroeder created an angle by his athleticism that his teammate didn't expect and were caught off guard by the...

If I were to redraft I would have: 14-Schroeder 21-Reggie Bullock 27-Gobert Best PG, Best Shooter, Best Shot Blocker... Done

The eye test on athleticism, game control and defense... are what counts. He has IT... Burke will struggle athletically.

True. But if Lindsay had just taken Schroeder at #14 and Gobert at #27 and then said I think the league was sleeping on these guys and we think they have athleticism, length and feel for the game that just can't be taught and we think we got a steal we wouldn't be apologizing for Burke and his...

It should have been Shroeder! I think he is a future star. It wasn't just his athleticism, it was his instincts and defensive prowess. Schroeder #14 and Gobert #21 was the route to take. We may not see it for 3-5 years but talent and athleticism will eventually win the day. Don't get me...

In the 2011 draft Knight went #8, Walker went #9, Jimmer #10... in past drafts DJ Augustine went #9... so its not like because he looks like a less athletic CP3 that we should really expect him to be CP3... Maybe we should be lowering our expectations to something between Kemba Walker and...

I agree that Burke's selection kind of gave the front office their final okay to go forward with the full on youth movement. I think they saw the fans enthusiastic reaction and realized that the heart strings so to speak of the fanbase had turned in full force toward the youth movement. No...

We probably wont ever really know how they will compare because Portland will be playing Cj a lot at the 2 so the ability to play PG may never really be tested.

My concern: People all week have been making excuses about Burke saying lots of people struggle in summer league with shooting and go on to great careers, and conversely some players play great and then never see the court. This is true, but the lack of athleticism of Evan Turner was a leading...
