Yes, can we PLEASE have a net outflow of talent from the West to the East for freakin' once!? I would love nothing more than to see Boston or Philly sign some Western Conference talent.
I have got it. We trade Dunn and 7 for Butler and then turn around and deal Lavine and Rubio for Porzingas. Grab a free agent pg and we are on our way.
Any Butler or PG deal to the Celtics would happen after they take their shot at Hayward. They can get max cap space to sign him and then just need to get close in matching assets to get Butler or PG. If they trade for Butler or PG earlier and don't do a good salary match they can't even go after Hayward without making even more deals. I would expect at the end of the day something like sign Hayward and then trade Tatum, Smart and Bradley to the Bulls. I don't think they are in a hurry to get anything done before the draft and really before they take their shot at the top FA's. Or they could just keep Tatum, maybe land Hayward and next summer offer the Pelicans a godfather offer for AD. Something like Smart, Tatum, Brown the Brooklyn pick next year and the pick they got from Philly.
