No doubt Boston wants to keep Hayward for one more year, but they could afford to trade him. As strange as it sounds, Langford might be worth more to Boston. Sure he's an unproven rookie but he plays a role that they don't really have another player quite like him. So the question becomes, how good is he? The Milwaukee pick isn't as valuable as many believe (probably because Ainge has been busy valuing picks ).
OKC wants picks but Milwaukee's pick is probably of less value than Langford. Hayward would be a nice leader for a rebuilding team.
I actually like this trade for both teams - but no doubt both teams will find reasons to not like it.
I think everyone values it as a bottom 5 FRP. I think what Celtics fans are arguing isnt that the pick is valuable— its that the difference in value between Adams and Hayward isnt that significant [such as to warrant a recent lottery pick], especially when 10M in dead salary is included.
