And I could see Danny talking with Pacers about getting Oladipo; I doubt he wants Turner (I wouldn't; would not upgrade our current center position; sorry Turner lovers).Of course this would mean he should move Kemba. He was trying to move him for Holiday, so no doubt he will try to move him to make room for Oladipo. Knicks the most likely target. I'm not sure flipping the guy who decided to sign for you a year ago and bail you out the Kyrie problem is the best long term business practice - if you expect to be in the free agent market again at some point over the next few years. Players keep an eye on this stuff. Even worse if you flip him to a lousy team.

How would people feel about flipping him for Aaron Gordon? Hayward is better player for sure, Aaron makes as much the next two years combined as Hayward will make next year on his option. He is a better defender, pretty good passer (3.7 assists vs Hayward 4.1), and young enough (about 18 months younger than Smart) that he could be part of the long term core. IF he's willing to play a more swiss army knife roll for the c's he could be a fit, he'd also have to hopefully improve his 3 pointer. Now why would ORL do it? Well Hayward is a better ball handler and scorer, which they desperately need. Or Hayward could be routed to a third team and draft capital from that could be used for Aaron Gordon.

The longer he waits, means he is looking to see if he can be traded to a team he wants to join, in my opinion..why else would wait till last minute to decide? Had last 4-5 weeks to decide..easy choice for him would accept 34 million deal

I don't think either of Markennan or WCJ would be enough with Porter's contract. Satoransky, Young, WCJ (or Markennan) plus the 4th pick? Cs probably include a pick back to the Bulls. Does that make the Cs better? I don't know.
Guessing time, who breaks the Hayward decision first on Twitter?

Zach Harper tweeted that Ainge was offering Kemba to teams for picks, but couldn't get enough assets for Kemba to satisfy New Orleans.
