What’s not to get?
He’s a good passer, runs the pick-and-roll well, hit threes at a decent clip and opens up lanes for others to drive by stepping out of the paint. That’s the definition of a facilitator. That’s Hayward’s game as well.
We are are well aware he’s not as good as player as Hayward. But the point isn’t to trade for another Hayward, it’s to use his money to acquire a legit Center and use spare parts to get a player who’s a poor man’s Hayward who can do a good enough impression and improve our scoring off the bench.
