Is not the end of the world if we do not sign Hayward or Harris.

There are other options that should be cheaper and might fit even better our team as Jae Crowder, Jerami Grant, Christian Wood, Gallinari, Harkless, Bertans, Wilson Chandler, Derrick Jones Jr, KCP, Hood, Temple, Forbes, Korkmaz, McRae, Ibaka, Favors, Hernagomez, Clarkson, Dunn, Ferrell, Napier, Frank Jackson, Burke, Teague.....
 

Just imagine we end with Crowder, Wood, Napier and KCP. Crowder is better fit in my mind that Hayward, KCP and Wood would be terrific additions....

Add that to a group of Trae, Huerter, Cam, Hunter, Collins, Capela, Dedmon, Skal, and 6th pick. That is a good team.
 

There are lot of options out there

 

This sounds like 1 am at the club.

This ultimately helps Boston as it gives Boston the asset to take on a big contract via a trade like Steven Adams or Andre Drummond. 

I was just about to post this as a possible option of why Boston most likely asked to delay the opt in/out after the new league year, to avoid the hard cap issue with the TPE using it on a player like those you mentioned.

I actually like Hayward at a decent price. Not a "hefty" 4-5 year deal price. Will he average 50 games or less a season the rest of his career?

We can't offer a 5 year deal, so there's that at least

Hollinger's Free Agent value had Hayward's value at ~$17M for next season.

I love it at this price.

Something doesn't smell right.  There is NO incentive for the Hawks or Hayward to work a sign and trade if he truly wants to come to Atlanta.  I'm skeptical that this is another use of the Hawks as leverage.

If we get Hayward I'm gonna have to insist his official name here on the Squawk is McRib.

I think smart is included in the deal for the 6th pick . Then Boston will use that and kemba for harden to the rockets. Rockets will proceed with trading away Westbrick 

Nooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!  Not 6....

The only thing this can do help Boston. TPE would be a massive win for them

Hayward come to ATL please

Good point

But Supes has been talking on here  about the Hawks interest in Hayward for about 3 weeks now, so brad's a little late.

Which makes no sense.  What's the incentive for the Hawks or Hayward to do this if he really wanted to come to Atlanta?

Perhaps Boston will throw in another minor asset like a 2nd rounder or so

We would actually get a small asset for assisting in a SnT.

A trade compensation draft pick unless Boston wants Dedmon which will help them for a three way trade to land them a big they actually want.

It sure seems like ATL isn't Hayward's first choice

For Hayward ---

1. Not screwing over the team that gave you a big deal to leave Utah
2. Slightly greater annual raises

Neither of those make too much sense, which is why Hayward is almost certainly heading to a team not in Georgia.
