trading Hayward now would make no sense, but I suppose all options are on the table for the FO later on and rightfully so : Keept the team growing, hopefully we make the Playoffs, keep all players improving and at some point decisions will have to be made in regards to personnel to try and go to the next level.
Will the team be able to go to that next level as it is (with Exum and Gobert's improvement as keys), or will there need to be some consolidation around a trade for a superstar?
In such scenarios I don't think any player is actually completely off limits, even Gobert while defensively fantastic could be tradeable for the right (ie very very juicy) package. So if you tell me that in the next year Hayward + x get traded, I wouldn't be surprised nor mad, it's part of the business.
