Very optimistic of you to put Hayward on the depth chart instead of the IR

[slamtheking]

what an absolutely horrible trade idea.  just makes me want to vomit that someone would think of this

So we give up Jaylen Brown, Timelord, Grant, Gallo, and two first round picks, for Evan Mobley (who has made startlingly little improvement in his 2nd season), Wendell Carter Jr. (a good player that I would love to replace Al), and the ghost of Gordon Hayward (who is owed $31.5m next season).

No thank you.

Interesting trade. I am less keen on the Hayward part of the deal. I'd rather avoid him. Too injury prone.

Mobley is an interesting risk to take. He is not as good as Jaylen but he is so young, athletic and skilled. He could easily surpass Jaylen in the near future. Mobley would be a phenonemal long term fixture if he manages to do so. Although that is not a sure thing.

Jaylen is a sure thing.

I think the basic idea of Mobley for Brown, as Who mentioned, is an interesting one. It all depends on whether we think Brown will leave. If that is the case, then I would be okay with something around that, but $ wise it is tricky

This makes us significantly worse.
