Doubt Hayward would wanna go anywhere but Indiana.
Knee or not, after what happened with IT and then if Hayward and Kemba go, we won't get any free agent bites for a decade or more.
No one cares about any of that ****. The only reason players go anywhere is because they get the most money there. You think Giannis or any worthwhile free agent signing is going to weigh his decision based on how the GM traded a washed up player 6 season ago?

I guess if I wanted to get the #7 or 8 pick and a shot to land Okongwu I might bluff that I’m shipping all three picks for the #6 pick in some bs deal that’s never going to happen.

Agents and players will care if we dealt three injured players in a row, two of them choosing to sign here as a FA.

All of that seems like complete bs because if the Hawks wanted Hayward they could just sign him. They're not trading down from 6 to 14 AND giving up young players in the process to get an opted in Hayward instead of signing Hayward after he opts out.
One rumor that emerged Wednesday from the New York Times’ Marc Stein is that Hawks could be a landing spot for New Orleans guard Jrue Holiday in a three-team deal. I was told by multiple sources that the Hawks are not a destination for Holiday. An acquisition of him would have to include the sixth pick and potentially two young players, from what I’ve been told. The Hawks are not interested in making such a move for someone who is 30 years old and on an expiring contract. There’s no doubt that Holiday would be an excellent fit next to Young in the backcourt because of his defensive prowess and ability to be a secondary playmaker, but such a deal would be better suited for a team looking to win a championship this year, and the Hawks aren’t in that conversation. They certainly could be involved in a three-team deal with New Orleans, where the main piece is Holiday, but it’s not a situation where he would play for Atlanta. If the Hawks could just give up the sixth pick and some other smaller pieces, it might be considered, but a deal that involves giving up two young players isn’t in the picture.

It most likely is based on the Hawks beater writer indicating that the Hawks have already moved on from acquiring Jrue:One rumor that emerged Wednesday from the New York Times’ Marc Stein is that Hawks could be a landing spot for New Orleans guard Jrue Holiday in a three-team deal.

So I don't see the Hawks giving up #6 to facilitate a Hayward trade when he can opt out if he really is interested in signing with Atlanta on a long term deal.

The only wrinkle your ignoring is that Hayward knows hes going to be traded and may not be interested in bypassing 38.2M next season.

But if we throw in Kemba and also land Turner, I will give that trade a foot massage.
Smart/JRue/Jaylen/Tatum/Turner is pure filth.

He’s 6’4 with all nba defensive, great teammate, high IQ, and can score when needs to. Find me a way to turn Hayward into something better? And no Sabonis isn’t on the table.
