Why would a losing team want Hayward at 30 mil?

That's why you add in other assets to sweeten the deal. Hayward + Kings pick + future Celtics pick would be enough.

There's some risk in losing the Kings pick if your Boston but no bigs are really available in next years draft and you can only play so many guards and wings so it's risk worth taking. The losing team will lose again next year but then they'll have probably a top 10 pick, an all-star and a late 1st to build on out of the deal. Some teams could be interested like Memphis who aren't really interested in tanking anyway.

:mjlol: they arent trading hayward

the reason they even got him was because of his relationship with stevens. So he gets injured and trade him a year after they did the same with i.t. that will fukk up their rep league wide

Jaylen brown is not better than hayward, if any wing gets moved it's brown.If boston really wants bamba trading brown to atl,memphis or dallas makes sense

They can do whatever they wanna do :manny:

I just feel like it makes no sense to keep Hayward's salary on the books when you have Brown and Tatum proven to be one of the best 1-2 punches in the league at that 3 spot, bring back Kyrie and add a big man. We've seen the team with Kyrie, we haven't seen it with Hayward. Hayward is much more expensive than Brown, and we've also seen Hayward lead a team, not Brown, so that's the angle for the team that's losing.

It doesn't matter to me what direction they take but if I'm Ainge I try to see if I can move Hayward first instead of Brown. That's just my assessment. :hubie:

So many overrated players in this draft. These GMs and scouts over analyze and over think shyt. That ESPN mock draft last night was laughable. There will be at least 5-10 players taken from 25-40 who will be better than a lot of people taken ahead of them.

They had Brown and Tatum and still signed Hayward. Did they take Tatum thinking he was gonna be mediocre?


But like @god shamgod said, if they traded Hayward coming off that injury with that contract, Ainge can forget about signing anyone worth their word moving forward.
