Ugh, Hayward looks more like a contract I'd take in return for also getting some assets rather than an actual target.

Hayward is a poor mans Kawhi Leonard. He is a strong wing player that can get his own shot. He can or could make 3's. He can get inside but not with the force Leonard did. He is a decent to good passer. He isn't the defensive player that Leonard is. .. Hell who is ?. BUt he gives you back that "kinda piece" that Leonard played but at roughtly 70 to 80% of what Kawhi did. Which is pretty fucking good.
So what would it cost to try to get him if slime merchant extraordinaire Danny Ainge finds himself at Christmas time with Tatum and Brown making huge strides and still a gaping whole in the bigs department in Chowderville ? A hole that if patched could get them to a contending spot in the East and get to the finals. ?
Its a leading question... but lets say Ainge wants to or sees he can get to the ECF and beyond.... Would he entertain a Gasol for Hayward trade.. He would but its not enough... the Raps would have to sweeten it... So the sweetner might be OG on a low cost deal or perhaps yet another 1st round pick. Lets say that Masai says yes... but to two second round picks....We would get Hayward under contract for this year only as he has a PO in 2020
So it happens even with the pitfalls. Raps are in.
The Line up then looks like
Serge / Boucher / Hernandez / Moreland
Pascal / Stanley Johnson
Hayward / OG / Hollis Jefferson
Norm / Meeks / Miller / Lllyod
Kyle / Freddy....
Maybe enough to win a spot in the ECF i'd say....but its also a deep team.... If you could add that greek guy in a years time... and Hayward stays... then things look promising....
Yes.. I am day drinking.

Not sure thats how Ainge is viewing what he has....but worth noting that Haywards value may not be as high as believed.

Let's just somehow hope that lebron screws it up with Davis in an Alpha fight-fest in LA and Anthony ops out. Bring him here in 2020 and Giannis in for 2021 >>>screw lebron and Kawhi's plans!
Then Kawhi can demand a trade out of LA back to Toronto and

We keep talking about saving up our cap room for 2021 because there aren't many good free agents in 2020. That's probably the right plan. But having the same cap space in 2020 could come in handy in a different way. We've sort of proven that we're more likely to get a star from a trade, rather than free agency. Not sure who I would have in mind but maybe there will be a star that wants out that we can take into our 2020 cap space. It's happened before

This is true. But we also are lined up to have about 80M in cap room in 2020 right now, so we can use a whole lot of that and still have a max slot leftover.

As the song goes, I believe in Masai. Get star x in 2019/20 to pair with Pascal and OG and get star y in 2021..then get the chip again
