 Matter fact, I'd like to start off with this starting lineup. Then we have a great bench of Crowder, Smart, Brown, and Fultz that's a tremendous 9 man rotation, with Yabu and an Mle veteran big man. That's a 60 win team for Steven's no doubt.

 Horford
 Hayward

Fultz and Griffin.

Though I'd sign Hayward if we have the chance and Griffin is a no-go, we'll still have to find a starting frontcourt piece if we sign Hayward, which isn't the same story as signing Griffin, who plugs in perfectly to our needs.

I don't think we can permanently play small with IT, AB/Brown, Crowder, Hayward, and Horford in the starting lineup.

Agree with this. Griffin fills power forward need and Fultz groomed to become 2nd go to scorer.

The unknown futures of AB, IT and Smart with this club makes me go Fultz and Hayward.

Blake Griffin + Josh Jackson

The other team is too small. Al Horford needs more help on the boards.

I want Jackson but I do not want Blake - his game will be going straight downhill.

 A little surprised it's 65 to 35%. However I think Fultz and Hayward is the right answer so there.

This board has fallen in love with the idea of getting Hayward. I don't know if it's the Brad connection or recency bias but it's almost becoming an assumption that he'll be the target this summer.
Ask this question last summer and there would be no comparison, Blake would be the runaway winner.

In a vacuum I think Griffin has more value to this team. In reality there is little chance we get either but if odds were placed I'd give more of a chance to us getting Blake than Hayward. I see very little reason for Hayward to leave Utah when they are in the ascendency, Blake on the other hand is part of an ageing Clippers team that could well disperse this off season. If they face each other in the first round it'll be very interesting.

One topic that isn't talked about much is Chris Paul. I'll need to do some research on league cap space but there must be an interesting suitor out there for him

 If 538 does a calculation. The odds of Hayward coming here are greater.

 You make a good point about the aging clippers Team, however Blake doesn't care anymore, he loves LA, he's gonna stay IMO.

 Hayward​ may indeed stay in Utah, but the Stevens connection is Huge, and if he wants the #1 seed in the east every year than he will come to Boston.

I went with Fultz and Hayward, but not with Crowder as the Power forward. He's just not big enough.

I think the C's will eventually need Fultz. And I think Hayward has a bit more ceiling remaining.

I like Griffin, but he's hurt too much, and I don't see Jackson as a shooting guard.

Hayward was a 2 until this year.  He can easily trim some weight and move back.

- Fultz and Griffin.

- I know Jackson's a good defender, but I don't seem him as a 2 in the NBA. More a 3-4.

- Otherwise, i voted for Griffn lineup over Hayward because I prefer Griffin and i don't see Crowder as a starting PF though he can play it in a small ball lineup.

Fultz and Griffin every day of the week.

 Only problem is Fultz and Griffin was not an option here.
