Because both are either expiring or can opt out, their values are slightly lower than if they were signed long term.
Hayward can be the play making do it all SF suns can use.
The only person they MIGHT trade Hayward for is Bledsoe, since some of their guys are in their 5th year as well, and Exum may take a few years (and may work better as a 2 anyway though Quin Snyder has already played Exum and Burke together and has also said he just thinks of them as guards). Burke is probably a career backup.
But then of course they'd have a hole to fill at the 3, so it doesn't make a ton of sense if they feel they can develop slowly given the toughness of the WC anyway.
Nah, I guess the more I think about it they wouldn't trade him for Bledsoe either. We at least would need to add Green or something and then still probably not.
Bledsoe, Green, Tucker for Hayward?
Not sure. I don't know if they view Exum as a one or two or if they would play two points together and if they feel Burke is a career backup at best (which is probably true). If they wanted to be more competive immediately, it would be worth it for them, but long term, probably not, because an Exum/Hayward/Favors threesome could be up there with combos like Lillard/Batum/Aldridge, etc.
I probably wouldn't do that deal if I were them. They'd probably want Warren and would maybe add in Burks. That would be tough for me to do, but that's probably why it would be fair...it should be a little tough for both sides.
I'm fine with Bledsoe/Dragic/Warren/Kieff/Len as a starting unit by next year, and then hopefully we draft a big or two and they can give Kieff and even Len some competition as they get better. Like you, I'd love a sharpshooting 2 though. Green can be, but he can be pretty sloppy and sometimes a little selfish, but if there is a good one, we have two picks, and get a good big with one, if we could get sharpshooting 2 with nice size to end up being a first guard off the bench, that would be nice.
He could play with either guard and it would be nice to have someone who wouldn't mind just spotting up and not having to dribble a ton if need be, unless of course they were good at it like when we had JJ there, or even JRich. Hopefully Archie is developing is outside shot. Maybe they have told him he will get time once he develops a respectable outside shot. You don't want people not to respect him or guard him allowing them to double team others.
