Sign and trade Bam for Hayward on an expiring deal, preserving their 2021 cap space would be a dream.
There's no way they'd let him go be a free agent is there?
No, it's just a technicality. He'a not even a restricted free agent until next summer, but his cap hold will be much lower if they wait. Gives them another $15m in cap room, I think. Then they max him or match whatever offer sheet he signs.

No chance anyone gets close to bam..... that article shows you the dire straits that the rockets owner could potentially be in, especially if this virus continues or we do have a 2nd outbreak and how that could affect the team. Harden could be a star that shakes loose and is available around the league if morey is fired.
