Is Danny ruthless enough to deal Hayward (Drummond)

[PhoSita]

Ruthless enough, yes.

Stupid enough? No.

Let's get rid of one of the top wings in the league with playoff experience  (all-time FT % leader in playoffs 100 min attempts mind you) for some regular season stat stuffer with no playoff success. Makes sense.  If we face 76ers in playoffs (not guaranteed) then let Embiid go for 40/15.  Nobody else on that team scares me.  They can win as many head to head regular season games as they want. Drummond won't help against Milwaukee either.

We don’t have an excess at the wing. We have the luxury of playing for 48 minutes with excellent starting caliber players.

Couldn’t agree more.

And isn’t it evident that the Hayjays play great together? What a sight for sore eyes: the unselfishness, the ball movement, turning down a good shot for a better one. The thought of bringing in Drummond and having a constipated offense is depressing, frankly.

If he were some sort of defensive savant, and Boston were a mediocre defensive team, it might be worth a thought. But he’s not, and the Celtics are currently third in defense.

It doesn’t make sense to trade a better player for a worse player generally.

C’s can shore up the middle with Drummond and thin out their excess at the wind position.

Of course we could also either deal Jaylen but I think he’s just too young to deal away right now.

Yes.  Danny also has a history of trading or not resigning good players who had severe or chronic leg injuries (Rondo, IT, Tony and Ray Allen)

Two of those players left in FA when Danny wanted to keep them for what its worth.

Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than smart.
