He said recent memory though, and some of us barely remember our names, let alone what happened 2 or 3 years ago.
Well, it was also a trade after FA, not on/before draft day.

Yep, that's another thing - they are reportedly targeting Josh Jackson at 3. That's Brown, Crowder and Jackson at the 3. I'm not sure it means much, because some of those might be traded, but...

I take back what I said about it being good news.
Now there is talk that Ainge is trying to acquire more picks and free up cap space to go after Butler and Hayward. If that's the case, I hope he ****s it up by getting too greedy.
So if the rumors are true, Boston trades #1 to Philly for #3 and a future first. Boston then trades two future firsts and a player for Butler. Boston loses out on Fultz, but drafts Jackson/Tatum, trades for Butler and clears space for Hayward.
Result: IT / Butler / Hayward / Crowder / Horford with Tatum off the bench. They still can't rebound though.
Sounds like the trade is pretty much a done deal. However, if I'm Chicago, I think I would have insisted on Fultz. You never know about those future picks.
That's the thing, If Boston gets Butler, why the Hell do they need Hayward? They need a center, and they would be rolling. You could get Dewayne Dedmon and Aron Baynes to back him up for less than what you will be paying Hayward. Now Boston is a legit defensive force while being able to cover for IT.
Why do you need to sign Hayward when you can get Dedmon and Baynes? Is that a serious comment?
What are you going to do with Hayward in that offense? Turn him into a spot up shooter on the perimeter? That is where he would slot most of the time, at least with the starters.
Individually Hayward is better, but you already have Jimmy freakin' Butler, and nobody that can rebound or even pretend to protect the rim. It's like having two gold toilets and a broken showerhead in the same bathroom.
You really just havent watched basketball in the last 6 years have you?
Did you watch the Warriors this year? Have you seen the Celtics offense?
I watched Klay Thompson become a shadow of what he used to be for that team.
Watched that.
And that is the role that you would be shoving Hayward into.
