Lots of trade rumors popping up about Hayward to boston?

[green]

I'm not sure why people want Boston's pick. Rondo and Hayward would put them in the playoffs. And I'm fairly sure Aaron Gordon or Doug McDermott are not going to be as good as Hayward.
Phoenix also covets Hayward, and they have a slew of picks that could possibly be combined into a top 10 pick. They are at least worth talking to.

I don't want Boston's pick. I want the two picks they own from Brooklyn. 2016 and 2018, unprotected.

Offer Hayward the max, just so Boston has to match. LOL. Trade Hayward straight up for their first, tank this year, end up with Embiid and Exum and Hayward. LOL. Or Embiid and Pope.

Dirty.

Jeez. I'd take that. Look at what you would have:

Burke-FA
Hayward-Burks
Pope-Marvin
Favors-Kanter
Embiid-Gobert

That is a damn fine team. And when you need the money from Hayward for Embiid/Pope? Boom Hayward's contract just expired.

I've heard this repeated several times now (not just from you), but Hayward will only be 27 when this hypothetical max contract expires...Still young enough to want an even bigger payday right? Favor's contract will expire about the same time as well. We didn't even talk about Kanter, Burks, Burke, etc... How are we supposed to afford all of these guys?

It's a long time away, and we'll know exactly by then how many of them reached their full potential.

Then you make a decision at that point. Trade someone for someone else. It's never a bad thing to have too many max players. Plus, you don't always get a raise on your next deal. Hayward May not live up to the deal and he gets paid less.

I'm sure there's a caveat hiding somewhere, because on it's face, this is one of the most flagrantly and objectively false things I've read.

Let me clarify. It's never a bad thing to have too many players that are worthy of max money. Does that help?
