You know what... The more I think about it...the more a sign and trade could be in order
Hayward says sorry Jazz I will choose Boston but lets workout a sign and trade. Help you guys out
To Jazz: Crowder, AB, KO (sign and trade)
To Celtics: Hayward (sign and trade), Tony Bradley
Good?
Tony Bradley
Horford
Hayward
Smart
AB
Zizic/Yabu
Tatum
Brown
Rozier
Celts would need to sign a FA to come off the bench
I forgot all about Utah liking KO previously, too. A sign and trade would actually make a ton of sense for both sides at this point.
Can anyone answer the question I had earlier about whether or not you can attach other contracts to a sign and trade deal?
For example, could something like this go down:
Boston: Hayward S&T, Favors
Utah: KO S&T, Crowder, and Bradley
That deal would actually be great for both sides rather than Utah losing him for nothing.
I hope someone can answer also
This way Hayward can make his 5 years max max.... Danny doesnt need to make another transaction or two, to trade Crowder etc
Im not a huge fan of Favors.. lazy player
Tony Bradley is a nice looking young talent. Brings a mature game for his age
Apparently in the new CBA a sign-and-trade no longer gives the 5-year + 8% raise benefits that you would normally get from resigning with your home team.
So Hayward can't make as much money here, he has to settle for 4 years at regular max money.
He also has reason to opt out after three years since he'll become a 10-year vet, making him eligible for 35% of the cap instead of 30%.
As for Potter's questions, I don't know if a sign-and-trade player can be traded alongside other players. I couldn't find anything that says he couldn't be. But even if it is impossible we could feasibly do multiple trades instead.
One thing that IS definitely doable is a double sign-and-trade, i.e. KO for Hayward.
