Zach Lowe: Paul George would love to play with Gordon Hayward

[Handlogten's Heros]

It's still not «their» pick.

Ah.... I got ya!

 

[stitches]

That's why the rule changed!

I'm pretty sure it doesn't have to be your own pick. It needs to be a first round pick though. You can't have 2 consecutive years without a first.
It's only half-measure though. For example you can trade the player once you draft him(1 month after he signs the contract I think?)

Nothing has changed... it doesn't have to be our pick... so long as we have another pick... we could also do as u suggest... exercise the pick then make the trade.

Well, its dumb to send our first next year to anybody. If Hayward leaves, we might be in the lottery. You never know.

Yet again, this is wrong. The trade deadline goes away after your team is eliminated. It is perfectly legal to make trades before the draft. But, you have to make these trades fit under your cap this year.

I am aware you can trade right now. Draft day trades don't finalize and rookies aren't signed that day. Teams are trading the players selected draft day not the pick. The original team makes the pick since the trade isn't official that day.

All you have to do is have 1 st rounder every two years right? It doesn't have to be yours.

Correct. (And it seems like there's even some additional loophole beyond that that I've heard of.)

What does playing the 2 entail that is so different than playing the 3 in today's NBA? Hayward has guarded 2's in the NBA every year of his career. So has PG. They are both wings. They play the wing position. The 2 and 3 dont really exist.

Semi can play the 2 and the 3?

Has to be yours pretty sure

No it doesn't.

I dont think he can play either.

If you have George, Hayward ain't leaving. You make that trade to ensure Hayward signs.

Why don't you think he can play the 3?

Is that a new CBA thing?

It's "always" been like that. No requirement for the pick to be yours originally.

Listening to Simmons and O'Conner... they are so presumptuous. Make it sound like Hayward is gone and would be stupid not to go.

If he leaves I hope he picks Miami because those guys will be insufferable.

The other option is just trade a few pieces and get Donovan Mitchell and, bam, 3rd superstar. I guess PG is a decent 2nd choice.

Genuinely can’t help myself. On a family vacation and combing through last years threads.

You called it 4 days before the draft. You should be able to pat yourself on the back for that one.

You have a crystal ball?

Apparently Bhodi does, in fact, have a crystal ball. Also. . . **** Hayward.

Whelp. . . this post didn’t age well, did it? I got a good laugh out of it though.
