    He's wanting Hayward that much.

    Because they'd be selling Hayward low. They're much better off if he looks better this year.

    I don’t think they will ever get much for him. His contract is large and he won’t get the court time to really look great again in Boston.

    Kings have a ton of cap space in the new league year. I guess they want a 1st pretty badly.

    Every Draft, Neil waits for some left overs before making his move. I’m so excited this year. Curios who is that left over player that Neil would sign?

    I wouldn’t mind adding guys like Aubrey Dawkins and Bennie Boatwright as UDFAs

    I was looking at Boatwright in the mock draft for Phoenix. I needed a guard more or I would have. Lot of injuries but a lot of talent. UDFA is perfect for him

    I know. I guess it comes down to if they think he and Tatum can play well together at SG/SF.

    Where did you read this? I can't find it anywhere. If it's 21 + Adams they could really be sneaky good this year.

    What about Brown though? See, Hayward just doesn’t make sense in Boston anymore.

    No way the Thunder give up Adams+21 to cut salary. It would likely be Roberson or Schroder.

    Another non-shooter. What is it people see in these guys?

    At least he plays good defense and can handle the ball, if the price is a second rounder it’s fair.

    They see size. They like the idea of a 6'6" PG and hopes to hell he develops a shot. Easier said then done.

    Compare him to ET.

    Frank - better defender, better ball handler, much better contract

    ET - better at running offense

    Both poor shooters
