according to a Hawks "insider" (who has been right in the past) Celtics are looking to bring in Hampton for a workout (14th pick) are interested in trading up to NYKs pick if either Haliburton or Okongwu are there.
Also saying:
"Boston wants to resign Aron Baynes.
He is hearing the same thing others are about Gordon Hayward. He is looking to opt-out. He is looking to resign or find an SnT deal to Dallas. This one is Boston's to lose. He seems to want to resign but with more years and a less competitive market than 2021. "
Hayward to Dallas for THJ, Wright and #18?
Hayward to Dallas makes a ton of sense from Dallas’ perspective. They are rumored to be willing to “take on large salaries to land a star”. That headline is a little unclear, but to me it screams “let’s clear cap space for Giannis!” Hayward’s $34.1M could help the Mavs shed some salary (Delon Wright or Dwight Powell). Boston should also ask to move down from pick 26 to pick 31 (2nd rd picks have contracts with more flexibility than 1st rd picks).To BOS: Hardaway Jr, Delon Wright, 18th pick, 31st pick
To DAL: Gordon Hayward, 26th pick, 47th pick
Having picks 14, 18, 30, 31 plus Wright (or Powell) should allow the Celtics to move up to #7 and get Wood.
Wood/Haliburton/THJ would be a successful offseason. I would offer:
Wright (or Powell), 14, 30, & 31 for #7 & Wood.
I’d even offer a future 1st round pick before offering the 18th pick to DET.
