Say Hayward shows a little improvement this year. Averages 16,7,4 and looks healthy. Would you trade Hayward and Langford in offseason 2020 for Sabonis and Warren?
Hayward's not going anywhere as long as Brad is coach.
Brad isnt the GM. Danny traded Isiah Thomas after he broke his body playing for the C's days after his sister died. Danny will trade anybody if it makes the team better.
Exactly!
Danny traded Isaiah because he was damaged goods.
Trading Isaiah for Kyrie was an upgrade because Isaiah had a potentially career ending injury.
Would Danny have traded Isaiah if Isaiah was healthy?
There's nothing wrong with Hayward right now.
Unless a team offers someone like Anthony Davis or Karl Anthony Towns, Celts are better off keeping Hayward.
Brad isn't the GM, true.
But Ainge learned his lesson after he traded Perk even when Doc was against it.
Ainge and Doc's relationship was never the same after that trade.
Doc ended up leaving the Celts.
So I doubt this time around Ainge will do something to upset one of the best coaches in the league.
Hayward is Brad's boy.
Whether we like it or not, it is what it is.
