Jrue > Hayward, Turner > Theis. Stop being biased.
There is just no way. Hayward is better than Jrue and Theis is better than Turner. Myles Turner is talked about like he's Anthony Davis around here. I have no bias.

For this team, I think I'd rather have Smart and a lottery pick than either of Jrue and Turner.
We as fans need to look at this as a GM not with a punchdrunk head from making the Conference Finals where we avoided a MIL team.
We did just lose to the Heat who were the 5th seed and...
Jaylen Brown 23 years old
Jayson Tatum 22 years old
Guys... our guys are 2-3 years away from entering our prime. Everything we do should be in mind of making our run 2-3 years from now. Not now. Not today.
Unless again you're trading for an MVP guy like a Harden.

Can you point me to one? Especially this complicated?
This would effectively be a trade involving 4 parties.

Right now, we don't even know if we can trade Hayward prior to the draft. He hasn't opted in yet, unless I missed something in the last 10,000 years we lost electricity.

I think the Courtney Lee deal to Memphis was a three-teamer if I remember correctly, also he was part of a 3-teamer that facilitated LeBron to Cleveland in 2014

I'm glad his career is going well, but I didn't deserve the penalty.
Probably not. However we live in the present and we have all made choices I am sure that might not have been the best. But to rehash the past is counterproductive it all aspects of life.

I’m pretty neutral on Turner, but the appeal with him is the physical ability. I think he would make a decent jump here, but he’s so inconsistent.
