What did Gordon Hayward ever really do.....he is very average...no post game.....not a great shooter, and weak defense....
He's a good defender but other than that there's absolutely zero chance I give up a top 12 pick for him.
He's a poor man Jeff Green without the speed to play the 2 guard spot. Looks good on a medicore team like the Jazz because they have no perimeter threats.
I'd rather gamble on a 2014 prospect with a higher ceiling.
Only way I'd want Hayward is if he replaced Avery Bradley. He's a good enough defender but his size wnd shooting come playoff time would be nice.
I'd rather use a lottery pick on someone like Aldridge or Greg Monroe-close to a new deal and either unhappy or the odd man out.
Perhaps 2014 pick+ nets pick + Olynyk +Wallace or something.
I think Dannys next move is to trade Bradley for he hits free agency and we get nothing for him so that might be incentive. I can't see the Jazz moving Hayward until they know whete they are picking in 2014.
