    If you're looking at this move with Gordon as the "point" of the trade, you're looking at it wrong... This, to me, would be all about getting Duren, which could then give us the flexibility to S&T Nurk... Quite literally anything Hayward gives you in the positive is a bonus...

    Prediction: we are getting OG or Lou Dort + picks

    5 teams I know, or at least have heard, we are talking to are NY, OKC, Cha, Atl, Tor


    Could be more, some of these could be dead

    I think we are underrating Hayward. He’s a good wing and if you’re not asking him to be the focal point of an offense and playing 35+ min per game, he can be an awesome playmaking forward with decent defense.

    Pretty sure we would lose the full MLE if we took on Gordon.

    And I doubt Duren is available at 13. Mark Williams, maybe.

    Gordon Hayward is a non-starter for me for any trade. Just no. That is some straight Olshey shit.

    Hayward would not be the target. The pick(s) are.

    Hayward and a pick/pics for a combination of players. Portland would not be including #7. GH has a negative contract due to injuries that they would like relief from because they have to sign Bridges. Blazers would take on the salary, have a good SF (when he plays), and get a pick(s) for their trouble. Bledsoe + Winslow works. If we included DiDi, no one in Portland is losing sleep. It would save CHA future salary, current cap space, and give them a solid rotation piece in Winslow + a young asset if Didi is included.

    As long as you're not giving up 7 (which, agreed, were that the case, would be a nonstarter) you just don't make the trade if he -- or whoever you're targeting -- isn't there. Pretty simple...

    we wouldn't be in the tax for 2022-23 even with Gordon if we just give up Bledsoe/Winslow. That non-taxpayer MLE would still be available.

    I agree completely. Although that would be a huge team salary number.
    That would be around 140 million for just these 6 players:
    Dame, Hayward, Grant, Ant, Nurk (or who we trade Nurk for) Hart

    This is exactly the kinda move Olshey did NOT make because we never had this kinda cap and roster flexibility, and precisely what we need to do. I prefer this to attaching every asset we have for OG. And I LOVE the idea of doing all this without trading away 7.

    Quite correct.

    Correct again. Dallas is also interested in Haywood.

    Hayward and 15, and then we try to move up with 15 and 7 potentially. If we got Hayward and a pick for expiring, I love that move.
    Would love it if we somehow came away with Grant and Hayward, and actually gained a current pick. Sharpe at 7, duren at 15? Lol

    I get it. But, to me, Hayward and his ridiculous contract are not worth a late lotto pick.

    This would be a home run trade.
